Origin /
History In the southern part of the United States, there are various cur-type dogs that are being used by local sportsmen and hunters. In 1964, the Ladner Black Mouth Cur became the first type of Black Mouth Cur to be registered. These dogs were used for tracking animals such as raccoons, bobcats, mountain lions, bears and squirrels through treetops.
The Red Alabama Black Mouth Cur is said to have originated from Alabama, although this type of cur can be found in Tennessee and Florida as well. These curs have been used as pioneer dogs for hunting, gathering pigs and cattle, and for protecting the home. There are several breeders in Alabama who are still working towards improving and retaining the Red Black Mouth Cur.
Due to the efforts of several breeders of Black Mouth Curs, the United Kennel Club bestowed recognition on the breed. Other types of Black Mouth Curs include the Wetherford Ben Texas Black Mouth Cur and the Florida Black Mouth Cur.

These dogs can have a lengthy tail, although there are many that are born with a short tail, or have owners who choose to have their dog's tail docked. The chest of these dogs is solid and deep.
