Squirrels are tormenting them just out of sight, they can hear them. Just can see them yet.

This is Hans. When we adopted him, he was listed as a lab mix. He doesn’t really behave like a lab though (only moderately food motivated, does not bring back balls/toys, very independent thinking just to name a few). Curiosity got the best of us, and needless to say we were very surprised at his Embark results! (last photo for results)

Got results for embark and showing nearly 60% mountain cur! We always thought she would have some sort of whippet or sight hound mix with her lean build. With all of these typically larger breeds listed, what do we think is showing in her? She’s only about 30 lbs so I’m shocked there aren’t any smaller breeds.

Well I forgot the weeks 🤣 but umm here are Scrappy and Brownie being the sweet souls they are in the first 2 pics.

Last ones are of Cha Cha… the people who took her decided they aren’t up for a puppy because it’s baseball season and brought her back… so it’s on to trying to find her a new home.. again. As I’m 20 weeks pregnant 🤣 pray for me.

And because someone always asks:
Mom is the gold dog, she’s a terrier mix of some sort but may also have cur in her. I’m too broke to do a dna test.
Dad was my beautiful brindle Mountain Cur, Tank. I lost him on March 6…. And I’m still not even close to being over it 😭

My boy and his little 3.5 pound sister. If anything, he’s scared of her!

I just got the DNA results for my pup. She’s four months old and she is 47% ACD and 26% mountain Cur, 13% border collie, some Australian shepherd and German shepherd. I’ve never heard of a mountain cur before.

I adopted her because they said she was a lab mix and I love labs. We are not a high energy house and these breeds are considered high energy. She is responding really well to my training and doesn’t seem to have more than just puppy energy. Should I be scared? Lol

Results are in 💙

I hate kennel pics but they were being nosy so I snapped a couple. They are full of the Kemmer cur grit and tenacity. They don’t have a stop button, if they taste blood it’s still fun to get them to give it up. They are getting better.

Mochi is almost a year and a half now, and everyday I go "Who's grown dog is this?" She's MC, GSD and Husky. She's come a long way and is just the sweetest. Anyone who just got a mountain Cur mix recently and is worried...It gets better I promise. Your socks will be safe.... eventually ☺️
