We are looking for a new puppy for our home and we found some blackmouth cur puppies at the shelter. The reading I have done continues to talk about them bieng hunters. Would a blackmouth cur be happy in a family that doesn't hunt or have a big back yard? We have lots of paths where I will be able to walk him each day and my husband jogs so he can run with him. Also, we have lots of squirls in our backyard. Will we find lots of dead little squirls if we get one of these puppies?

A bmc would be ideal as long as they have a job, be it hunting, or protecting you family. I have had this breed in our family for 10 years and could not recomend a better breed

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!
