What Exactly is a Cur?

shotgun...I am not saying you are incorrect but I will say this...my belief is that we can lock in color and size pretty quick because it is visual...also depends on dominant and recessive genes to a certain extent...but I believe that dogs that don't preform consistently has more to do with folks not hunting/testing the dog...

with the dogo I believe that to be the case...we don't have to hunt the dog to know how he needs to look and what color it needs to be...but the majority of the dogos bred are bred without regards to working ability for different reasons...probably the biggest reason has to do with the lack of opportunity to prove the dog...as a result we have culls for working ability...but looks should remain..."Should" is key word here because some folks will breed even if the dog does not meet the visual standard to recoup the money or just to make a profit...

you can breed a redbone to a black plott one time and then breed the offspring back to redbone from now on and for many generations the black color can and will show up...has to do with color dominance and lack of breeding to a required standard... but why can't working traits or lack of not do the same???
