Been living here in these SE Tennessee mountains for going on 13 years now. My Florida cur cowdogs have been fairly successful at keeping my freezers full of fresh pork. Extremely rough terrain and lots of Russian influence in these hogs, but still plenty "catchable", even for this flatland swamper
My partner had some outstanding Florida Curs over in the LaBell area. Hunted a lot with them.
[/quote]Half my kin are from and still in Highlands county. You from down there or from Georgia.
I am also a swamper grew up hunting the Big Cypress Swamp, all around Immokalee & LaBell and Avon Park Bombing Range in your neck of the woods. Had some really good Florida curs . My friends still hunt Florida curs.
[/quote]!0-4 I grew up in Bear Island and Turner River Units of the Cypress. Rest of kin, as well as myself, are from West Broward. Also hunted the bombing range quite a bit. Any evidence of those early Alano/Alaunt types coming white, especially in Cuba. Seems the newer dogs are mainly brindle and fawn.
Small world, I spent many years hunting Turner River and Bear Island until they forced us to give our camp on Turner River to the government. I don't know what happened to the Dogo Cubano. I still have a picture of me with one taken in 1958 and it was fawn. We used our dogs to work cattle as catch dogs to hold them. We had honrey Brahma.
