Black Mouth Curs mostly live in the United States and are a bit rare in other parts of the world. If you want to bring home one of these strong-yet-sensitive, energetic, family-friendly dogs, check out our adoption page where you can search for dogs near you by breed. When it comes to training, the Black Mouth Cur can be stubborn, but an overly harsh approach does not work for this sensitive breed. They need a trainer who will be firm and lay down the law, but also won’t raise their voice in anger or frustration. Black Mouth Curs are eager to please, but they will also get bored if training sessions are too long or repetitive, and their attention may drift. Sometimes the purpose for which the dog has been bred factors into their size.
The breed can herd livestock, protect the home, and track game; although, these dogs also have a sensitive side that doesn’t respond well to harsh rebukes or punishment. Black Mouth Curs need human interaction and companionship, and they are great with families and kids. As with all dogs, children should be supervised when playing with Black Mouth Curs, as they like to roughhouse and may not know that they need to be gentler with youngsters. It is important to teach children how to interact with dogs appropriately, as well, to avoid injuring them during play. A healthy diet for a Black Mouth Cur can vary depending on the dog’s size and the activities they participate in throughout the day.
