The Mountain View Cur is a dog breed that was developed in the 1980s. Michael and Marie Bloodgood were the two breeders responsible for the development of the breed. The breed got its name from the Mountain View Kennels, where it was bred and developed. The word Cur s used to refer to a dog of unknown origin. The name Cur did not relate to the Mountain View dog because it had a definite origin. Therefore, there is a movement initiated by breeders and dog fanciers to change the dogs name.

Ideally, breeders were focused on a dog that would be easier to handle, especially when hunting. A Mountain View Cur is a consummate hunter who will work for hours (in all types of weather) to please their master. On the other hand, if you are not a hunter enthusiast, a Mountain View Cur also enjoys outdoor activities and sports. Besides hunting, a Mountain View Cur makes excellent companions and watching dogs. The dog is a healthy breed with no associated genetic illnesses whatsoever. The breeders took numerous years of careful selective breeding to create and develop this outstanding hound. The Mountain View Cur is considered a unique and separate breed of dogs. The Bloodgood family has always believed in quality and not quantity and on ability and not myths. Over the years, the Bloodgood family has maintained a good reputation. As a result, they have a long waiting list for this dog. Ergo, if you want to obtain one, you need to be patient.

Breed Appearance
Although the Mountain View Cur was developed directly from the original Mountain Cur, they differ significantly in appearance. Resembling a hound, the Mountain View Cur has a slightly domed head, broad set of eyes, and a heavy muzzle. The deep dark eyes of this hound express and convey numerous emotions. The Mountain View Cur has a straight back, thick neck, and a deep chest. Their straight and strong legs enable these dogs to run fast, especially when hunting or playing outside.

The Mountain View Cur puppies are born without dewclaws, but they must be removed immediately if born with them. Although being born with a bobtail is common, the puppies with longer bobtails have them docked after a few days. Mountain View Curs coat has a double layer, i.e., a soft and fine undercoat with a rough or smooth outer skin. The color of the Mountain View Cur breed varies from solid black to yellow, brindle, and black and brindle. It is common for the Mountain View Cur to have white markings on their chest, feet, and muzzle.

Breed Maintenance
Mountain View Cur maintenance is easy and straightforward because you just need to remove dust or loose hair once a week via brushing. Although frequent bathing is not required, when you do, ensure you use a mild dog shampoo to maintain the skins natural oils. Remember, the dog can hunt under all types of weather conditions and terrain. Ergo, the natural oil is required to protect your dog from adverse weather conditions. If you do not prefer bathing, using a soft, damp cloth to rub your dog down is ideal. Finally, ensure you carry out the usual grooming essentials, such as ear checks and cleaning, clipping toenails, and brushing teeth weekly.

Nutrition
It would be best if you fed a Mountain View Cur on high-quality dog food (homemade or commercially manufactured). If you prefer homemade dog food, veterinarian supervision and approval are required. Remember, the diet should be appropriate to your dogs age, i.e., puppy, adult, or senior. It is essential to research human foods safe for dogs to avoid risking your hounds health. If you have any concerns about your dogs diet or weight, consult your vet. Finally, ensure your Mountain View Cur has plenty of clean, fresh water always.
