The Bmc originated from the ridge back line
And where did this bit of breaking news originate from?
Prior to Lander establishing his line in 1964 that made the breed a recognizable standard. The history of curs can be up to anyone's interpatation. Here is a good site that reflects that info
http://www.blackmouthcur.com/History.htm Looks like our prideful curs are in fact just mutts that we perfected. I'm not hating on curs I have my own line I run. Jus making a point with the ridgeback it was a blend in one of these centuries.
I've read that before, and it makes no mention of Ridgebacks. They were bred in Africa. I could be wrong, but I don't think any of the early American settlers (who bred curs) came from Africa.
