To the original topic, no apology needed.
Since we are talking about FL cures, sorry to bust any bubbles but I don't believe there is any such thing as a FL cur. Here is why- is their a GA cur, a AL cur, a MS Cur?
No their is not.
Research I did years ago showed me that Catahoulas originally came to the US by the Spanish. The Spanish originally came here and settled in FL. I believe this is why many of the dogs in FL called FL curs have so much cat in ithier bloodline. Growing up in SW FL I saw many cur dogs that were bred with a little bulldog in them. Crackers bred cur dogs to be extremely tough, resistant to the heat, and I believe the dogs called FL curs were started at catahoulas and had some bulldog in them. Since they were not bred for color, not all of them look like cats and the crosses over the years have produced yellow and a lot of black and tans.
