They are a special kind of dog for sure! I can’t get over how many people don’t know what they are and was a little surprised that you do. Most of the mountain folk here had them when I was a kid.
I’m a dog person.

I also like Black Mouthed Curs and would LOVE to have a Plott someday or even a Catahoula.
I grew up with Coon Hounds of several kinds and they’re still in my heart.

Mountain Curs and Blackmouth Curs are great small game hunters and ratters. Good guard dogs too. For pure unrelenting prey drive though, you can’t beat a Jack Russell. Absolutely fearless when after something. My son used to make good money when he was a teenager going to peoples barns and cleaning out the vermin. It was nothing for a pair of Jacks to drag a hundred or more mice and rats out of a barn.
