We do not ship our puppies. Young puppies are more susceptible to various illnesses & diseases, and therefore we require our puppies to be picked up by their new owners.

You may not rehome your Mountain Cur Puppy

We are sustainable breeder for each & every puppy that we produce. We do realize, that things happen, and life changes and you may find yourself unable to care for you puppy/dog. We WILL accept the dog back, without judgement, no matter the age of the dog.

If you don't have time to train/hunt now, you won't later either

Numerous times, I see these type of dogs put up for adoption because the owner doesn't have time/space/money to hunt them, train them, care for them, FEED them even! You're either going to make time & make the effort, or you're not. Please don't take one of our puppies if you won't make the effort to train & care for it.

You're only going to get out of a dog what you put into it.

mountain curs are working dogs

Mountain Curs do best when they have a job to do - they are bred to hunt/work. So we prefer them for hunting homes, but we also consider active companion homes. Once they are older, they do have a good off-switch in the house, but don't expect them to always be a lazy lap dog.

They do require adequate training, socialization & exercise for them to be their best dog self. If each of these needs are met, then they absolutely make wonderful companions & we do keep ours indoors.

Mountain Curs are by nature reserved with strangers, so if you're not spending time with them daily, you're becoming a stranger & that will be a hindrance with your training.

Basic requirements for ownership

Of course, they're hunting dogs. Some of you will keep them outdoors. That's fine as long as their needs are met daily.

If you intend to chain our dog to a tree, please don't bother contacting us.

These are the BASIC requirements for taking one of our puppies regarding their living situation:

Clean & Dry Shelter
Warm Shelter in Winter, Cool Shade in Summer
Clean Water, Good Quality Food
Time Outside the Kennel Daily
Time with People/Owner Daily
