About Black Mouth Cur Dogs

Black Mouth Curs are rugged, versatile Southern working dogs known for their loyalty, courage, and strong work ethic. They get their name from the distinctive dark muzzle that most carry. Originally bred for hunting, herding, and guarding homesteads, they are tough and capable.

Adopting a Black Mouth Cur brings a devoted, protective companion into your family. They bond deeply with their people and are gentle with children. Their high energy and intelligence mean they do best with active families who can give them plenty of exercise and purpose.

Local Climate & Pet Care

Winter

42°F to 65°F

Dec – Feb

Houston winters are mild and pleasant, making them the best season for outdoor pet activities. Occasional cold fronts can bring temperatures near freezing, so have a light jacket ready for thin-coated breeds. This is the ideal time for long walks in Memorial Park and Buffalo Bayou trails.

Spring

55°F to 80°F

Mar – May

Spring brings warming temperatures and increasing humidity. Wildflowers bloom along trails and in parks throughout the city. Severe thunderstorms and flooding are common, so check weather forecasts before heading to low-lying areas like the bayou trails.

Summer

75°F to 95°F

Jun – Aug

Houston summers are dangerously hot and humid with heat indexes exceeding 105°F. Limit outdoor exercise to early morning or after sunset, and never leave pets in parked cars. Mosquitoes are at peak levels, making year-round heartworm prevention essential.
