I have owned and/or hunted with Florida curs, most of my life.  The only traits that every dog had in common, were hunting, catching and short hair.  They were purpose bred and culled.  Ours were cow dog culls from Okeechobee.  Either they trailed too long, or were too rough on yearlings.  That's the only two reasons we got them.  And they were free, because they were culls.

About 6 years ago, I realized that the name "Florida Cur" had been stolen to drive prices up.  That's how I slowly moved over to Jagds.  I couldn't find or afford any curs with the ability or toughness that compared to those ranch dogs.

I believe the best working cur blood is in South Florida, dog jockeys and money have robbed the name and history of the Florida cur.
