When Black Mouth Cur are puppies are they really shy From all I have read Black Mouth Curs are very cautious around new people. Eventually they will be "normal" around the family, but they will always be shy with strangers. |

He may have trust issues from a former owner and not trust humans. Obviously, he wants to trust you since he’s excited to see you but he’s unsure how to act. I would probably start taking him on walks and playing with him outside. Maybe teach him fetch and give him treats? The idea is to make your time together positive. Eventually, he will stop being so shy. |

We just got a black mouth cur a week ago and we have 4 dogs in the house behind us that are always barking and whinning. Our dog has barked about 2 times. She is very quite when she did bark. So I would say that a black mouth cur would be perfect for your housing. |

I\'ve had mine in apartments (without yards) his whole life so its possible. It\'s very important to get them out as much as possible and mine sometimes is \"depressed\" if we\'ve gone a few days without a lot of outside time. Usually an hour or two of running will keep him happy for a few days. I would recommend taking him to an enclosed dog park or frequent walks during the day. I\'ve never taken him hunting but he does have that instinct so it\'s important to really nail down sit, stay, and come. My dog knows these commands and will still charge at animals if he sees them so I never take him off leash unless he is contained. He is the most loving dog though and even if he runs off he will always come back to me. He\'s even learned to detect panic attacks without any training and sits on me to comfort me. You won\'t regret getting a bmc! |

The constant washing is probably causing her to itch. I recommend seeing your vet for the smell. Washing the dog too often causes other skin issues. |
