I have 6 Australian shepards and one border collie. I raised them from pups. They all are extremely protective dogs that don't accept strangers, mostly because there are so many they formed a pack mentality. The difference between the bc and the shepherd's are quite noticeable in some aspects. The collie has a more nervous anxiety personality when introduced to new situations or ppl. The collie is always looking for commands and is always right by my side, ready to attack at the first sign of danger. She does a crouching position like a herding dog. She listens better than the shepherds and picks up on tricks fast. My shepherd's are more stubborn, but they tend to understand human emotions more and are almost human like when displaying emotions and affection. The merle shepherds tend to have more personality than the non spotted ones. Overall, they are great dogs for protection, but the collie doesn't do well with small children like the shepherd's do mostly because they are less emotionally driven and more work and command.

Booker is our first BMC. I take him to the dog park and long walks he is smart, obedient, and easy to train. We're retired, so we're home all the time. I take Booker to the supermarket or just ride around with him. He follows us throughout the house. I feel safe walking him alone. I've taken him on hikes only a couple of times, then our weather, we're in Arizona, was getting warmer, so now I get up at 5 a.m., and we hit the park ❤

I had a black mouth cur, she made it to 4 months shy of her 13th birthday. When she was older I got a Belgian malinois and man, she made him look dumber than a box of rocks. Smartest dog ever! She did have allergies and we never figured out what it was. I do live in an apartment but we went on walks every day, in the summer we went home to south texas so she could run around at the homestead. Her nose was absolutely amazing. Anyone who does a DNA test and claims it tests for black mouth cur is a liar! When she got older, out of curiosity I did one to see what breeds they called her. 20 breeds of every kind of coonhound, some Italian hound, 6 different herding breeds including Chesapeake bay retriever and Nova Scotia duck tolling retriever, then randomly 3% Fijian street dog 😂 I got her from there shelter in Houston and now it seems like shelters call everything a black mouth cur. She looks just like the black mouth curs in the viral video of the cattle drive going though some town during hurricane Harvey. She was the best dog I ever had and if you can keep them entertained and satisfied mentally, you can handle them being in an apartment but we were really active!

good video...lots of useful information, seems quite balanced (ie. actually true unlike some other vids)

Very good explanation. Thank you very much.

I’m getting a Yorkie ! And have chosen the name Bentley!🤗

Chuck Connors came to my home in Long Island NY when I was 5, in the early Spring 1971, and bought our Yellow Lab pup. My parents told me he was going to be in a movie that we'd go see in the summer. Connors traded me a banana seat bike for my dog named Pancho even though I refused the offer. Well, soon the Disney Old Yeller movie was rereleased and my mom told me we were going to see Pancho in the movie. I was so happy believing it was him the whole time but if you know Old Yeller's final moments you can imagine what a 5 year ould sounds like sobbing hysterically in a quiet movie theater. My tale is on a video on my channel if you want to hear the detailed story of Chuck Connors visit and what became of Pancho. Every time I come across a video that mentions Old Yeller, especially the sad part, I'm reminded of him. Thank you for your informative video on Blackfaced Cur. I was searching Curs because the dog I have now is a mix of hunting dog and wild dog. Her nose shape isn't typical. For sure she's part Lunde Hund can put her head backwards on her back and close her ears, sings like a New Guinea Singing Dog button ears like Curs and Whippets/Grey Hounds, an under bite, looked like a pitbull puppy when I got her.. I used to tell people she was a mini pit jokingly, climbed trees until I trained her not to not knowing aboutTree Feists. She's also black inside her mouth and throat except part of her tongue and gums and very black rimmed eyes and foot pads despite her white fur. She gets tri-colored spots on her half hairless body in the summer only. I learned that a guy in the neighborhood bred hunting dogs but could never locate him. She's the smartest dog I've had in my 5+ decade lifetime with experience ofowning/breeding and rescuing many breeds. None have even come close to her. She learned custom signs to say I love you, I want ... and I choose. She'll also choose a hand to indicate yes or no or choose what word I assign to each hand like Do you want... hotdog or chicken, making her choice her answer. She alerts me when something's amiss and picks things up for me, the list goes on. Super smart, super eager to work but that wild in her is so different from domestic dogs. Her mouth can open really wide and she has those carnivore molars that wolves and coyotes have. She's so aware, can smell things always knowing and highly alarmed when visitors come, and pants in anxiety, stresses like a wild animal in a cage if she finds out someone is coming to visit or hears something but can't see it. She lowers her head to the floor while standing and arches her back just like a fox or coyote when threatened. Reminds me of those black cat images. On walks she's fine but totally nose driven the whole time, loves kids. Only 12 lbs but has a bark like a Rottweiler my son's dog is 1/8 shy of pure German Rottie. Never ever tried or bitten any person or animal in her life. She charged up to a wild Wolf-dog that was shopping the neighborhood for strays to eat early one morning and faced off with him. I was so afraid he'd grab her because she wouldn't come back when I called her to, her fur on her back sticking straight up, but she so confidently and adimately stood her ground and he read her, then backed up slowly and left. There's so much more I could tell about her. She's 10 years old now, her sight is declining, getting episodes of dementia more often and I think her eventual passing will just devistate me. I want to get her DNA tested before she passes. She's the best companion I've ever loved on earth but the hardest too, she makes me work for it. Every week I find myself browsing breeds of domestic and wild dogs, just so curious to know what exactly she could be. She will take her secret with her. At best I can only know partially. Her nose, has a Cur shape so here I am looking up Curs in my never ending intrigue. Again, thank you for your video.

I have my border collie 1 year old is my best friend .makes everyone, busy in home.😅

Our family has a black mouth cur. She is lovable and very smart. But when bored she nips and jumps on you in a playful way. She is an aggressive chewer and will destroy toys and pillows.

7 weeks ago a dog was roaming the neighborhood and I was told that dog has been around for 4 days almost getting hit multi times were drivers on our busy streets started stopping and throwing food on side of road to keep him away from traffic, me being the animal lover I am and doing rescues for the past 15 years went to try and catch him. Needless to say after an hour or so of sitting and talking to him he gets up and walks to me. We are inseparable....BOSCO is a 3year old Red Black Mouth Curr..... He is awesome, very smart and very protective. Thank you whoever put him in my life........I really needed him in my life with the things I'm going thru. Love you Bosc.

Best dog I've had. Loves life and is so very affectionate.

I have 2 nice large mountain cur girl pups for sale Springfield Missouri

I adopted a baby border collie at 9 weeks old last year and she now going to be 11 months old soon, she has amazing levels of energy and the smartest dog I ever met, she can be super naughty when she wants to and loves to try to dig into the garbage can for some reason. She is a overall very sweet and loving little dog who loves hugs and kisses and likes to stand up and wrap her paws around my neck and she stand there and gaze into my eyes 👀 she is really great on walks and always stops to check on me every few feet it actually very cute when she does this, the biggest challenge I have with her so far compared with all other dogs I have had in my life is she seems to not like other people much at all, or is super defensive of me if stangers get too close to me out on walks . Getting her to be social and friendly to other people a challenge we are working on

I just rescued a 6.5 year old dog from a awesome no kill shelter. The Yellowknife NWTSPCA in the Northwest Territories in Canada. Was told he was a Black mouth cur with the size and colouring of a southern black mouth cur . He is an amazing dog for being in the shelter just over 600 days . Sadly to say it appears that he was abused in his younger years. He is in a loving and caring home and we do our best to support him with his many fears. I am unsure if he really is a southern black mouth cur . But his size , colour, markings , his hair length and his tail match photos I have seen of the breed. He looks exactly like the one in your video and the same size . His name is Warren ( kept his shelter name , he was there so long ) and he has more black on his mask and it includes around his eyes. Has the floppy black ears and a little black mixed in running down his back. You can notice the black on his back unless you are very close, very suttle . Enjoyed your video very much. I don’t normally write comments.

No Australian Shepherd?

The best dogs on the planet!

I really didn’t want my dog to have a popular name, but I heard Romeo yesterday and can’t stop thinking about it. It’s so classic and handsome.

❤

My future dogs name is SPEED

Hey Buddy..!

I’ve owed two.. You don’t train them. You negotiate. Land Manatee comes to mind.. My dog is the most gentle easy going dog I’ve ever had. Not sure about the guard thing.. I catch my mastiff watching possums eat his food all the time. He knows he’s a rock star.. I’ve taken him to local outdoor events.. He gets swarmed by people… Except from India… I think they think he’s a lion? 33 inches at the shoulder. 227 pounds.. I did not spade him. I think it’s unnecessary for most Massifs.. I don’t think he would wake up for anything except food and pooping if he had been cut. Plus they tend to get fat when cut.. you can’t bully a Mastiff into a walk.. if they lay down midway through? You are in BIG trouble.

I rescued a black Malcolm she was estimated 2 years old? I've had her too much and what are different from what I got her to now? I wish I'd had known this breed years go. I've had dogs pretty much all my Life and I feel Blessed to have you for your videos

You get a BC you better expect and be able to exercise them hours and not a few minutes every day. This is the smartest and most energetic breed I know of. I’m 61 and it’s hiked, frisbee, ball fetch, etc., in the snow, rain, shine. Loves cold weather. It’s a mountain living dog. Heat averse. Wry smart.

We rescued our BMC earlier this year, from Texas. He's showing all of the traits people talk about. But he also does this kangaroo hop when he gets excited; 4 - 5 feet straight up in the air. Has anyone else seen this, or is it just our boy?

Do you have a Border collie ?

I just got a beautiful little buff colored chihuahua puppy from my husband for my birthday tonight! She is a real sweetheart! I named her “Biscuit” because she looks like nice light brown southern biscuit!

i turned my MOMS shih tzu in to a watch dog by making it a collar out of a timex watch

My Katie's dog grandma was alive and kicking at 17 Thanks for this videt!

I love ❤️ my American border collie.

My black mouth cur, Jimmy, is the smartest dog we ever had, he is easy to train and obeys commands except when he sees a squirrel, a he's off to tree it, he understands 40 different words, clocked him at 35 mph chasing a squirrel, and run 5 miles a day, which he loves to do, and will let you know when wants to run, watching him run is poetry in motion, he has the softest mouth and eats very slowly and deliberately as opposed to our two labs, he has about 30 different facial expressions to tell you his wants and needs, every day he does something fun or something that makes you think how did he do that? Just the best country dog. We live in NE TX, perfect county for him. Dr Joe

I think my one of my rescue dogs is a black mouth cur. My brother's step son told me that he looks like one so, I checked it out. He is a sport.

Maybe Dalmatian dogs don't originate from Dalmatia, but obviously the interconnection is there, both the robe and the poet come from the region of Dalmatia, all other constructs are far-fetched.

Dalmatians are the 'Swiss Army Knife of doge as they have been used as a herding dog, Gard dog , and a rescue dog .

I adopted my 2 year old BMC from the humane Society of Sarasota Florida 10 weeks ago. What a dog, truly amazing. He adapted immediately and he knows this is his home and would protect us and we would protect him. Craves attention and loes to snuggle.

My bc Rosie always amazes me. We have land but she loves to play with balls and toys. She is almost 4. She even comes with me to work. She knows everyone's name at work.She never ceases to amaze me. I love how intelligent this breed is.

You forgot a couple facts it is said that they’re sense of smell is 250 times stronger than other breeds of dogs. That’s why they are used by the police force to sniff out drugs and contraband and some think their intelligence is on par with humans.

My bc is rough coated with curls up the spine. They didn't appear until she was several years old.

Well done video! Thanks from a long time Dalmatian owner!

The SMILE!

we had our border collie just shy of 18 years..amazing dog.miss him

against all cropping

We had 2 BlackMouth Curs. One was from the Ladner line. "Digger" was one of the smartest dogs we ever had.

I have a dog named jax

I rescued a girl black mouth cur who’d been abandoned near my friend’s home. She had hung around the street looking at cars pass and was obviously lost and didn’t know where home was. This went on for a couple of weeks. I finally was able to get her to come to me and she’s been with me since then. She’s amazing, so loyal and loving. I already have a pug and she has been very good and patient with my pug. She is a happy addition to our small family.

My border collie died about a year ago at almost 20. The doctor said that she in fact was older than that. She was my aunt's dog and I got her after my aunt passed away. That is why I would not recommend a border collie for seniors, unless they have a trusted person who could take good care of the dog if something happens to the owner. These dogs can live a very long life and they are very very energetic all the way to the old age. My dog was hyperactive till few months before she passed away. So anyway, from my experience I think we should make sure there is somebody else who could take care of our pets in general, if something happens to us, even if it's something for a short period of time.

Very well made documentary. It is plain to see that you a lover of the breed, and I applaud you for your efforts. My only point of contention is with the historical claims about the origin of breed, and I don’t blame you for it in the slightest. Would love to see a revision though. I have a sneaking suspicion that you have heavily relied upon British sourced Cynology literature in your research regarding the breed. I will say that am grateful for the Brits preservation of the breed during the tumultuous era of Turkish conquest into southeast Europe, as I can’t be sure that our beloved breed would have survived into modern history without it, although the Istrian short haired hound is still around, so maybe that’s just me being careful. Regardless, proper credit must be given in that the Dalmatian dog is a unique, pre-medieval canine breed indeed originating from the Dalmatian coast. Having studied the breed in the Dalmatian province of Croatia, I had exposure to a bit more comprehensive data from the source. Namely, my research indicated that Dalmatian sailors(who were very prominent at the time) discovered an ancestral breed in Northern Africa with a harlequin coat pattern resembling more of a Dogo Argentino with cropped ears and square features, and upon returning home in cross bred it with a local breed called the Istrian short haired hound (further explaining the body shape, features, short hair and occasional liver spotting). I suppose DNA research could be done to further prove this rather easily, but have yet to see anyone spend the effort (or at least release the results). If nothing else, this explanation makes much more sense to me than the British narrative of “not sure how, but all of a sudden we had this awesome dog here fell in love with it and we used them for just about everything…so now it’s ours”. At the very least, to make the claim that it is NOT from Dalmatia from a position of authority is a weak argument at best. For context, we should highlight that the standard origin story of most modern canine breeds dates to the 18th or 19th century, yet for this documentary & this breed for some reason the goalpost is moved back to Ancient Greece and Rome 1200 B.C. despite the breed being well documented in Croatian historical records and artwork dating as far back as the 13th century. I think it’s high time we move passed these tired efforts of British colonialists seeking to put their stamp on anything and everything they find interesting in this world, and acknowledge the true history of the Dalmatian dog.

I've had a few dogs in my 40 years like 5 My sister had more. Most Pitbull. My BMC is a ALL Around beautiful dog. Definitely a terrier and Lab hound in my opinion very smart and trained to go

I’m on my second. I can tell you there are SO many subtle differences. My first was male, 150 pounds. Very dry mouth for a Mastiff. Protective. Had to neuter. My current boy is Massive. Slobbers like crazy. Sheds tons.. most gentle dog ever. Did not need to neuter. They are a lot of work.. plan for future vet bills.. you cannot leave them alone all day! My first cost 2000. The one I have now is show quality and cost 5000. You get what you pay for..
