From what I understood on the last Florida thread was take two different breed dogs and cross them and you get a litter of Florida currs. And what's so weird about it no one can tell you their not Florida currs cause no one knows what they are or exactly what their suppose to look like. Good luck with you Florida curr

Hey Judge you have some real nice dogs, second thread one of your dogs or a dog you bred caught my eye. I really like the Fla curs, is yours straight catch? How does he hunt, do you use him one out?

yeah that last thread got outta hand quickly. Lemme try this explanation and see if I can do it without offending anyone.. lol Fl curs come in all shapes, sizes and colors. weve got yellas, black and tans, leoprds, ring necks etc. growing up that's how a cur dog was classified. The term Fl Cur is and internet term. These dogs were bred and raised to hunt feral cattle in the brush in fl two hundred plus years ago when a good dog cost more than a horse and most people could only afford to have one if they were lucky. Most of the old school dogs (and I don't mean the ones developed in the 80s) were lean thin dogs with good leg to them so they could hunt all day in the heat humidity etc. Most of the ones I was around back in my younger years had blocky heads and bobbed tails. The most important aspect is that its a one out dog. Hunt cows/hogs by itself bay and if needed catch with no help (because like I said way back when the settlers could afford one if they were lucky). No this is strictly my opinion and the way I look at it more than likely because of how the guys I grew up around were. A this crossed with that, was simply that. cross a redbone to a bulldog and it was a redbone crossed with a bulldog. Those guys didn't call them curs, can they be good dogs yes of course they can, but the old guys I was around just called them crosses/mutts/mixed dogs whatever. Im sure there are some bulldog mixed into the old lines somewhere, but I promise you (because ive done it) ask some of the old men that have been breeding them their whole lives and your liable to get your rear end kicked a few times until you get through the gate. lol This is my old man jack. This is what I and most of the guys I hunt with consider a Fl cur. Out of his last litter though 3 were yellow, one was a yellow ring neck, and two were a light saddle back/black and tan. hes out of flint stock from up around plant city, and after talkin to mr flints cousin who lives near me he told me he and his cousin used to work cows for just about every ranch in Fl (they are both in their 80s and the flint that lives here still works cows horseback everyday) and that his cousin got his first set of dogs from some extra pups the partins had back in the 50s (best he could remember).  A friend of mine days works cows in and around labelle with his dad who has been raising his own dogs since before my buddy was alive. Hes from Hollywood Fl and from what he says he got his start from the partins as well when he worked for them. His dogs look identical to mine and he wont let you breed to them unless your dogs work cows and will do it alone. But like I said this is just one TYPE of "fl cur". Personally I don't like the term to me they are yellow dogs. BUt hey I guess the puppy peddlers had to come upwith a catchy slogan. If you were to ask me what makes one of these dogs I don't have a clue, however what keeps them around is they will do it by themselves. |

Simply asked if you had a better pic. Wasn't bashing your dog simply asked because of the picture you posted of him. As long as your happy with him I guess.

RD...that's a fine looking hog dog...that is the look I envision when I think about Florida Cur...buddy of mine had one looked just about like that except he was a little darker red...not much though...I thought enough of that dog to breed him to one of my females back then...
