RD, very well put. Most people round here just call 'em cur dogs.
Lets face it, most all breeds got their names and or lines for the pure sake of making money. There was a day when they were just dogs...curs, hounds, bulldogs, sheppards...hog dogs, deer dogs, coon dogs, cow dogs (head dogs & heelers)
As people started breeding their best to their best, different breeds and even different lines inside of the breeds started changing. Then John Doe had good dogs and people started wanting them, thus began the JD dogs.
Different regions called for a different taste in a working dog. IMO thats why all our curs are similar, yet very different.
Hell, I am only 30, and its hard to ever see (let alone find) a dog that I remember as a child. Be it a cur or bulldog, and by appearance and ability.
I think we would all love to turn back the clock to see what went into some of these dogs, but sadly most come from a time sorrowfully forgotten.
And for the original poster, for the most part, the dogs coined "fl curs" are as RD stated. Hotter nosed, rough, one or two out dogs
