Others need daily, vigorous exercise, especially those that were originally bred for physically demanding jobs, like herding or hunting. Some breeds bond very closely with their family and are more prone to worry or even panic when left alone by their owner. An anxious dog can be very destructive–barking, whining, chewing, and otherwise causing mayhem. These breeds do best when a family member is home during the day or if you can take the dog to work.
One brushing per week should be fine, and many Black Mouth Curs can go their whole lives without having their coats professionally groomed. The appearance of Black Mouth Curs can vary depending on breeding, and even individuals of the same litter can look very different. They should also regularly have their eyes and bone health checked during routine vet visits to spot signs of cataracts, hip dysplasia, or other eye and skeletal conditions. Their teeth should be brushed regularly and professionally cleaned as needed. The history of the Black Mouth Cur has had a heavy influence on which traits have been kept in the breed.
Owners should watch out for these conditions throughout their dogs’ lives. Settlers also needed a dog who would be intelligent and help them hunt for food and valuable pelts. They needed a dog who would be a loyal and dedicated family companion so that it would protect the homestead. They needed a dog who would be strong and able to handle life in the rugged frontier. Without enough exercise, these breeds may put on weight and vent their pent-up energy in ways you don’t like, such as barking, chewing, and digging. Breeds that need a lot of exercise are good for outdoorsy, active people, or those interested in training their dog to compete in a high-energy dog sport, such as agility.
