Going to strongly agree with Dan.  I'm originally from SW FL and been around a lot of cur dogs while growing up.  For the last 10-14 years been living in LA and TN...been around a lot of cur dogs here too.  When I was growing up in FL, every dog we had was mostly cur with a little pit mixed in somewhere, this explained the square head and roughness.  We didnt need catchdogs, two or three cur dogs would catch most anything.  I really dont think there is a difference between a cur dog no matter where is it from.  My theory is , a hound is a hound, a cur is a cur, a bulldog is a bulldog and a cross is a cross.  There are to many variables to distinguish a FL cur from any other cur.  Some think that Catahoulas are a Native American dog' I disagree.  I believe the cats are of a spainsh ancestory and I believe they were brough the America by the Spainish via St Augustine.  I would contribute the leopard dogs of FL to the spanish dogs and most had a little bulldog bred in starting in the mid 50s.
