The Breed

Black Mouth Cur

The Black Mouth Cur is an all-American working dog from the Southern United States. Bred for hunting, herding, and homestead protection, they're one of the most versatile working breeds in the country.

At Cur Dog Creek, we run dogs from established bloodlines — Ladner, Givens, and Murphy lines — each bringing distinct strengths to the operation.
