Description
Dog Breed: Mountain Cur (short coat). I'm a good boy. No one who has visited the shelter in the past year has noticed me, but I'm a good boy! I was so scared when I came in after I was abandoned on a rural highway in our town. I was too afraid to come to the animal control officer when called, so they had to live trap me.. Then they sent me to the prison program where I learned to love my handler and I got along with the other 4 dogs in the program. Now when I see people I know happy to see you! When I am with people I don't know, I am anxious and sometimes I don't show my sunny side (so no small children as I need my personal space at times), but when I see someone I know I am happy and joyful. The shelter staff says they can't bear that I've been with them a whole year. I walk well on lead and crate well. I will need a fence or some confinement when I am outside so I don't run off, but I am most comfortable on your couch anyway. I am not a barker. I jump up into the crate to travel and dance when you come to take me for a walk. I just need that one person who is willing to become my forever friend. Please take a chance on me.

Breed overview
Mountain Cur
A.K.A.: Cur, American Mountain Cur, Stephen's Mountain Cur, Original Mountain Cur, Treeing Cur
Overview:
The Mountain Cur is a rugged, intelligent, and highly capable breed originating from the mountainous regions of the Southern United States, specifically bred for hunting and treeing game. Physically, they are medium-sized dogs, typically weighing between 30-60 pounds, with a muscular build, a short coat that comes in various colors (brindle, yellow, black, and brindle & black), and a naturally bobbed or docked tail is common. Their expressive eyes often convey their alertness and keen senses. Temperamentally, Mountain Curs are known for their unwavering loyalty, bravery, and energetic nature. They are generally good-natured with their families but can be reserved with strangers, making them excellent watchdogs. While they possess a strong prey drive and require consistent training and plenty of exercise, they can be wonderful companions for active families who understand their need for a job. Due to their high energy levels and vocal tendencies (they love to bark and bay), they are generally not well-suited for apartment living and thrive in homes with ample outdoor space. Regarding health, Mountain Curs are a relatively robust breed with a lifespan of 10-13 years, with no significant breed-specific health concerns, though like all breeds, they can be prone to common canine ailments such as hip and elbow dysplasia.
