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.

Dec – Feb

Houston’s mild winters are comfortable for Labrador Retrievers. This is the best season for long walks at Memorial Park or along Buffalo Bayou. Labs can finally exercise hard without overheating.

Spring

55°F to 80°F

Mar – May

Labs shed their winter undercoat as Houston warms up. Brush frequently to manage shedding. Mosquitoes emerge early, so keep heartworm prevention current since Labs spend lots of time outdoors.

Summer

75°F to 95°F

Jun – Aug

Houston’s extreme heat and humidity are dangerous for active Labrador Retrievers who don’t self-regulate during exercise. Walk only before 7 AM or after 8 PM. Provide wading pools to help Labs cool off at home.
