I'm interested in a coon/varmit/yard dog. My fiance wants a dog for the yard to keep varmints out and let her know when people get to the house. I have a pen full of cowdogs that I use strictly on cattle. We live up against a swamp and bayou and it is full of coons. Lots of rice and crawfish around. If I'm going to feed a dog I would like to get something out of it. I figured she could have a yard dog that I could take out in the woods and tree a few coons. I don't have big tracks of woods to hunt so I want to stay away from hounds. I had a deposit on a mountain cur pup but supposedly the bitch was false bred and now the guy wont answer any of my emails. I would really like some kind of cur. Anyone know anybody who hunts coons with cur dogs?

if you want a tree dog get you a mountain cur from squirrel and coon lines or the ladner black mouths are widely used for coon and squirrel or you can get you a treeing cur go to the UCK web site and look in the cur fiest section and you can find all you want or get you a good ol leapord [ cur ] hound they hunt like a cur dog but tree like a hound .

x's 2 , its hard to beat yeller dogs or old timey mt curs for good all around dogs . however most bmc's are bred not to tree . we've got some of both scattered over this way and sometimes travel past you going to houston . give me your number and i'll try to help ya . |

There are a good handful of tree dog folks in your area with good curs. |

I may have found me a mt cur pup. I read on here daily and I know everyone has different opinions on everything. For example, not trying to open a can of worms, bay pen and wood dogs. Everything I read on mnt curs they all have dogs that are hall of fame and champions of comp hunts. Does this show proven dogs or am I better off finding something that you don't hear much about? I just dont really know much about these comp hunts and that seems to be everyones selling points. I very familiar with cowdog trials and I know I have opinions along with lots of others. I know a pup is a gamble no matter what kind of business we are talking about.

your exactly right about the advertised dogs sla , i'd rather get pups from folks that use them and have to wright out the pedigree from their memory . even if they ain't got a flashy kennels and name . |

I would find a hybrid or treeing cur, there are quite a few in your area. I bought a young treeing cur out of Alabama that I am real pleased with. A treeing cur is usually a cross between a cur or fiest and a hound. A hybrid being a cross between a cur and a fiest. You get a smaller framed dog that handles really well but is gamey as hell and trees hard, they typically have pretty good noses also.

Go look at squirrel dog central. Most of those guys use Mt curs and feists to hunt squirrel and coon
