I've been breeding Black Mouth Curs since 2006.  For  several years now, I've worked hard to improve the temperament of my Black Mouth Curs, and getting the confirmation of my Black Mouth Curs to a consistency.  My dogs are protective of their family and home.  With proper introduction to visitors, they are well mannered and social.
    
I have raised my Black Mouth Curs to be a family pet. My dogs will tree, bay or bloodtrail.  I have not trained my dogs for hunting. I don't use them for hunting.  They are born with these hunting abilities. 

A puppy from me can make a great family pet, to the right family.  Any puppy from me can be raised and trained for treeing or blood trail.  Consitantcy in proper training and socializing, is the key.

Keeping healthy dogs and producing healthy puppies is very important to me.  My dogs and puppies are fed a high quality dog food and have plenty of land to roam and run around on.  I also maintain a clean environment for them to live in. They are kept up to date with their vaccinations and worming.

I usually have 1-2 litters a year.  When there are 2 litters a year, they are out of 2 different females.  We have 1 stud male dog, and sometimes I will use a well suited stud from another breeder.  Once a female has a litter of pups, she will not be considered for breeding again for 1 1/2 to 2 years. 

When puppies are available, only a few are chosen and sold for breeding, others will be sold as Pet Quality.  My puppies will only be sold, to those who I feel are well suited for one.
