I have an Original Mountain Cur at the house right now. 6 months old. Lots and lots of "hunt" in him. Talk about a hardheaded little $hit! He's sharp as a tack, learns what he wants to really quick, but getting him to do something that wasn't his idea.. Good luck..david wrote: If "easiest to train" means fewest headaches, most relaxing enjoyable hunt, I go home when I want to go home, catch a bobcat off a good warm track, takes longer to skin the coons than it did to catch them, take a kid squirrel hunting and have a blast he will dream of until he can do it again, well mannered house dog that everyone loves... If that is what "easiest to train" means, We are talking about a Kemmer Cur or Original Mountain Cur, or Treeing Cur, or one of the many off-shoots of these dogs.
"Training" him to hunt will be no problem.. He's one gamey little SOB- I've never had so many dead squirrels or moles. And he's using his nose to get them. He put a spot and stalk on a bird successfully the other day LOL- He goes out of the house looking for something to catch. Starting to tree right now also..
We aren't trained up enough yet to be a well mannered house dog- He's a typhoon
But he is getting better with age. But yes David, what you said is what I'm thinking of when I'm talking easiest to train.
