No offence intended but this a subject I feel strongly about.
I am away from home right now, so no good pictures of a Florida Cur. This is a good chance to explain what I think a Florida cur is. It is a type of working dog, not a pure breed, and can come in several sizes, colors and patterns. Ring necks saddle backs, black and tan, black, white, tan, white with spots etc. The ones I grew up with, were mostly red, tan, and and white. They are all purpose dogs bred for working in the heat and humidity of Central and South Florida.
Too many people look at a dog and say "it looks like a Florida cur, must be a Florida cur". The name "Florida Cur" has been hijacked by dog jockeys and new hunters who think they are breeders trying to make money on dogs.
Did it come from actual South Florida working dogs? Just because a dog comes from Florida doesn't make it a Florida Cur. So there is really no way to prove or disprove what a Florida Cur is except in the woods.
If you don't know it's from South Florida don't call it a Florida cur. Some of you Texas guys have seen the same problem with "yella dogs". Some are good some are just yellow. Kind of like the song, "don't call him cowboy until you've seen him ride"
That's what I think about it!

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.

My pops friend jimmy fox breeds fl curs. Most of his dogs are red. What we consider fl cur is redbone mixed with pit. Now I'm not saying every dog he has is red. He bred his dog levi a redbone pit to a full brown rednose pit and all the pups came out black with a tint of brown redish color in em. There is some pics of them on here. But I will find more.

Are these dogs related to real working south Florida ranch dogs in any way? If not it's just a cur. There is a big difference as far as I'm concerned.

These dogs were & still are real south Florida ranch dogs. They are multi purpose dogs. They've been used as cattle dogs, deer dogs, and hog dogs. Most are used as hog dogs. These dogs have been around for years. Jimmy has been breeding them for 20 plus years & before that his pops was breeding them. Well known dogs in okeechobee and Loxahatchee fl

Thank you Dodge girl. Okeechobee and airboats that's what I like to see. I agree with the Redbone X Pit mixing into the already established dogs. Mine are similar. Check your PM.
boarsnesthogdogs, thank you for not being offended by my opinion.
