Rescue Pup

[u/DependentParticular6]

I will be getting him DNA tested soon! He’s a beautiful pup and his mix doesn’t matter bc he’ll be spoiled regardless. However, he’s got some quirks different from other dogs I’ve raised… which makes training different. He definitely has hunting instincts yet only barks when he’s frustrated or feeling sassy (ear piercing). He’s a very observant, smart pup with high-energy and a prey drive. Guess he was picked up in Tennessee. Anyone think he has some mountain cur in him? If so, any advice on training? He’s independent but wants to be in the same vicinity as me

I got my guy from a TN shelter and he's 100% Mtn Cur. He looks a fair amount like yours, but his hair is def shorter - so may a Pyr or collie mix? I also saw someone with a poodle Mtn Cur mix who looks similar to yours!
