ONTARIO SPORTING DOG ASSOCIATION

CURS
Curs were developed in the southern United States as an all purpose working ranch and farm dog. They were developed and are still used to work livestock, hunt feral hogs, raccoons, large game and pretty much anything that can be treed or will come to bay. They are also becoming more popular as deer dogs and wounded game recovery dogs since they have excellent ground scenting abilities, but tend to be less shorter range than hounds. A cur is defined by it's working style and all cur breeds work in a similar fashion by ground tracking, wind scenting, and by sighting their prey. Breeds of Cur include:
Black Mouth Cur
Blue Lacy
Canadian Cur
Catahoula Cur
Kemmer Stock Cur
Leopard Cur
Mountain Cur
Treeing Cur
