What part of Fla are you in? I have had Fla curs for almost 30 years. I managed ranches for several years and have used these dogs on both cattle and hogs. It is my opinion that the Fla curs seem to be rougher, as a breed, than most of the other curs. Some have bulldog in them I am sure, but a lot of the cattlemen don't want bulldog in them. I for one have spent years trying to get some of the bite bred OUT of mine. My old dogs used to be "bark once or twice and catch".....about ANY hog. After sewing and stapling dogs, vet bills, dogs out of commission for weeks, etc, and doing this for 20 years,  I decided there must be a better way. Sure, you will catch a lot of hogs with the rough dogs, but it only takes one bad hog to put you out of commission too........

Here is a pic of my Monkey dog. He is 6 1/2 years old.


This is my Spur dog. He is sired by Monkey and out of one of my females, and is 5 years old. Note the white ringneck, white chest and feet. I get a lot of ringnecks in my dogs.


I also get a lot of red dogs. This is Scarlet.
