The name 'cur' is a descriptive term for a general, short-coated, drop-eared, farm and ranch working dog. Black Mouth Curs are primarily herding dogs able to hunt big or small game, but they are also suitable as family dogs. The breed has an average litter size of 3-12, and a lifespan of 12–18 years. There is a black mouth mountain cur named Diego who was rescued from a high kill shelter in North Carolina and adopted by a family in Albany, NY. He enjoys chasing squirrels and other varmints in his backyard and swimming in the creek behind his house. For the past four years, Diego has co-hosted the “Thanksgiving Day Doggy Trot” with his friend Andrew to raise funds and food donations for the Mohawk Hudson Humane Society in Albany, NY.
