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.

The settlers who bred curs where poor. Guess u missed where it talked of trade routes and the breeding the best dogs. I'm not a history buff but the trade routes from Africa was huge in all aspects.  So i might not have worded it correctly ,orriginated ,  but the ridgeback scent hound breed was in the mix, to help form the cur.

Breed to a big leggy Plott that will catch. BAM! there you go, if not you can breed to a dogo, or what about a big leggy american bulldog if you do not like an APBT. I think pretty much every good option has been mentioned. Good luck

A leggy streamlined pitbull. If you want rougher breed to a long line straight up leggy athletic working pits. Just my opinion but thats what I would do, u may loose a little nose but i dont think you would loose much range or hunt.

x2...preferably an established line of APBT of what Justin is saying...you might have to weed out a few culls because of the cross...and selecting the right pups correctly is the other half of breeding better dogs...a good APBT is a gamey dog so it should work...I have known of a few that were outstanding dogs...one was 1/2 plott and the other 1/2 walker...

one reason why I say pick your pups wisely...that 1/2 plott I mentioned in the above post was one heck of a hog dog for striking and stopping/catching hogs...and his littermate brother had no hunt, no bay and no catch to him...don't know about the rest of the litter...

I like others would use a good pit that has leg and wind. I run a ridgeback pit cross. He is a great dog. Ridgebacks are not the grittiest dogs around. Fact is show breeding has taken a lot of that out. Now if u could get ur hands on one u knew for a fact came out of working parents that still had the grit it may work. Walker dogs have all the bottom and nose most would want. Couple that with a good leggy pit that has wind u don't lose much. The key to this cross to me is the pit. Pick the wrong one u lose to much speed and wind.
