picked up my new BMC puppy today ...

... in georgia. she is asleep in my lap. long ride home, then getting used to the new digs. photos tomorrow ...

Make it simple for an uneducated guy. What's a BMC? Do you mind telling how much the pup cost?

black mouth cur. $250. she's a pistol ...

Thanks! Is she going to be a hunting dog? How is a Cur used? I think I've heard of them as hog dogs but I don't know what else? Is it sort of a general hound?

for me, she will be a companion, squirrel hunter and deer blood tracker.
they are an old, old appalachian/southern dog bred to herd and hunt and protect. old yeller in the book was a BMC ...

Congrats man. I was interested because my daughter wants a pup real bad. I am thinking lab but open to others as well.

bmcs are highly family oriented ...

Awesome, congratulations. I'm getting an ESS for the same, mostly tracking and a woods companion. He's 15 days old, will pick him up March 6. I know you are excited, I sure am

Congratulations to ya. I'm jealous.

gonna try some nokia phone pics here, heavily cropped:





wish i'd been watching the background on this one:

Fine looking pup. Who did you end up getting the dog from? Sorry if you posted that earlier.

Good looking pup. How old is she?

I got her from Georgia. Carnathan line, i am told. I got to meet her sire, a whipcord rascal named Joey, said to be hell-on-earth on squirrels, with a great, friendly, open personality. Owned by Shannon Givens in Monroe, Ga. Dam owned by Shane Young of Royston, Ga., named Sadie. I picked her up at Shannon's place.

We just picked a name for the pup: Kean. Gaelic/Celtic meaning ancient. Pronounced keen, and she is keen to learn ...

Good looking pup there and def no hip issues.

almost 8 weeks old. asked to go out last night to pee. blew my mind. she already knows to sit for a treat. ain't saying she's housebroken, but she has the idea ...

congrats paulfish, looks like she is gonna be a goodun!

thanks, choy ...

Shannon is well respected in the BMC community. Good looking pup.

her place is spic and span, let me tell you. she sure seems to love BMCs ...
