Breeds that need a lot of exercise are good for outdoorsy, active people, or those interested in training their dog to compete in a high-energy dog sport, such as agility. Others need daily, vigorous exercise, especially those that were originally bred for physically demanding jobs, like herding or hunting. Some breeds bond very closely with their family and are more prone to worry or even panic when left alone by their owner. An anxious dog can be very destructive–barking, whining, chewing, and otherwise causing mayhem. These breeds do best when a family member is home during the day or if you can take the dog to work. Black Mouth Curs mostly live in the United States and are a bit rare in other parts of the world.
This is a working dog who’s comfortable as a hunting companion, a livestock herder, and a home protector. Easy-to-train dogs are more adept at forming an association between a prompt (such as the word “sit”), an action , and a consequence very quickly. Drool-prone dogs may drape ropes of slobber on your arm and leave big, wet spots on your clothes when they come over to say hello.
They needed a farm dog who could help them herd livestock and hunt in the rugged terrain of the region, as well as ward off dangerous wildlife. Some dogs are perpetual puppies — always begging for a game — while others are more serious and sedate. Although a playful pup sounds endearing, consider how many games of fetch or tag you want to play each day, and whether you have kids or other dogs who can stand in as playmates for the dog. Ask your vet about your dog’s diet and what they recommend for feeding your pooch to keep them at a healthy weight. Weight gain can lead to other health issues or worsen problems like arthritis. Your veterinarian should be able to help you determine an appropriate diet for your Black Mouth Cur based on their size and energy requirements.
Make sure they get balanced meals, and you may wish to consult a nutritionist to advise you on what to feed your dog. There can be much variation in size when it comes to Black Mouth Curs depending on breeding, and dogs within the same litter can be of different sizes, as well. Still, they are considered to be purebred dogs, as modern Black Mouth Curs are usually only intentionally bred with other Black Mouth Curs.
