I got a Mountain Cur pup. We found him as a stray, called the name on the collar and the woman wanted nothing to do with him. Can't figure out why. He's an absolute sweetheart, and to top it off, is treeing coons! Who wouldn't love him?









He's a little skittish around strangers, it's obvious he wasn't taken well care of (we're working on that), but he does great in the woods. I can't seem to figure out why people treat hunting dogs like a piece of machinery. It is possible to have a dog that trees hard, and that curls up around your feet at the end of the couch. But whatever, that will get me on a tangent.

And just so anyone unfamiliar with mountain curs knows, many pups have naturally docked tails from birth. He's not missing it.

I'm so excited. Curs are a quintessential dog of Southern Appalachia and I couldn't be happier.

Thanks for looking
