The Versatile Breed
Welcome to Walnut Ridge Mountain Curs
Preserving the Working Abilities of the
American Settlers' Versatile Working Dogs...
the Mountain Cur
Located in Georgetown, Ohio
A little about myself...I fell in love with the breed after I adopted a Mountain Cur pup from a Tennessee shelter. That dog changed the course of my life and introduced me to this amazing breed. They have been the best dogs I’ve ever owned, a true working dog that can do almost any task you can imagine. Since then I would like to share my passion for the breed with others through education and producing quality pups that can be true working dogs as the breed was originally meant to do.
THEY ARE MUCH MORE!!
I am a member of the Original Mountain Cur Breeder's Association, Kemmer Stock Breeder's Association, Good Dog Breeder Approved, and have titled multiple dogs in the American Kennel Club, United Kennel Club, United Schutzhund Clubs of America, National Kennel Club, and International All Breed Canine Association. Several of my dogs have been the first of their breed to earn titles in various dog sports such as Lure Coursing, Obedience, Rally, Dock Diving, Conformation, Schutzhund BH, and more. I am also the breed contact for Mountain Curs in the AKC. The focus of my breeding program is Versatility, Health, Structure, and Temperament for the Total Package. These dogs are more than just squirrel dogs, yes they do hunt squirrels, but that's only part of the breed's abilities. Thet are also supposed to be able to help on tthe farm, protect from predators and/or strangers, run a bear or chase a Bobcat. Versatility is KEY in my program. I've had several dogs make excellent service dogs as well. They really can do anything you'd want a dog to do.
