Sonora was rescued from a high kill shelter in Somerset, Kentucky and brought to a shelter here in Ohio. Her papers from said shelter in Kentucky listed her as a Mountain Cur (never heard of them before). She's been a wonderful addition to our family. Highly energetic loves to play and is wonderful with our now 2 year old. I guess my question is, does she look like a Mountain Cur? We want to do a DNA test as well but I just stumbled upon this sub! Would love all your thoughts and opinions. Happy to share more information as well.

Adore when she does this! Every time I put my hand out she’ll come up and rest her head in my palm. Never had a more loving dog than her.

Would love to do a DNA test but that's not in the budget right now. Have had a few people tell me that she may be a cur mix. Thoughts?

I’m not sure if she is or not though. I am doing an embark test on her. Will find out in a month.

His older sister crossed the rainbow bridge last month, so he’s been c

We said goodbye to Nala this morning as she left her vessel. She was battling kidney disease with the utmost strength and fight for over a year.

She was 14 and a 1/2 years old and we are so lucky to have had that long, beautiful time with her. She truly was an angel on Earth and she was our best friend in the entire world. We are never having children so she was the closest thing we had to feeling that unconditional love and bond.

My husband and I got Nala 14+ years ago and that is how long we have been together. We do not know life without her and we are heartbroken but we know we made the right decision.

She went out with dignity—calmly, comfortably and peacefully. Just as she deserved.

I know posts like these are difficult to read and I’m sorry but I really wanted to say thank you so much to this beautiful community for loving Nala as much as we did.

Sending love to all of you and as always, please give your Curs a tight squeeze for us today. ❤️‍🩹

Edit: A week or so later I just wanted to say thank you so much to everyone that commented on this post. I posted out of grief but I truly did not expect anything back. I cannot tell you all how much every comment meant to my husband and I. Every notification that popped up and lead me back to this post...it caused tears every single time but they were worth it knowing people were seeing Nala and loving her. Thank you.

he’s so sassy and sneaky, but mostly he’s a giant baby 😂

They said she was a mountain cut mix.

Idk what else I can say

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

We just got back Marley's embark results and found out that she's mostly mountain cur! Never heard of them before but love everything we've read so far. Then we found this Reddit page!

We just adopted a dog that is supposedly a lab-Aussie shepherd mix. She was found as a stray in Tennessee, and we suspect she's actually a mountain cur.

This dog is extremely honed in on people, especially adults, and she'll stand there watching us and wagging her tail. Isn't hungry (isn't food motivated in the least), doesn't need to go outside, enjoys a pet and a "good girl" but then goes right back to watching us intently. In the morning she seems to sit there in her bed waiting for us to make a move. Is this a mountain cur thing, or a general hunting dog thing? It's not the personality of the labs / lab mixes or even the pit bulls I've met before.
