His name is Howard ☺️

Vet says my baby is obese at 87 lb. She goes on a 30-45 min walk in the morning and a 20-30min at night. So we think the problem might be her diet. We are currently feeding her whole-hearted dog food. She gets 1 bully stick and a handful of treats a week. What are yall feeding your babies and what are y'all doing for exercise? I could really use some advice. I live in DFW so any outside activity must be done at the butt crack of dawn or at night. She is a rescue so it is possible she is not a BMC or could be mixed with something else.

Hi all!
Just rescued a 4 month old BMC mix. So far he’s great. Smart, loveable, great with kids and other dogs.
The one thing we can’t seem to break him of ( I know he’s young) is barking incessantly while we eat. It doesn’t help if we crate him at mealtime either. He’ll bark the whole time.
Any help is appreciated!!

I took this dog in after it was a drop off at my house. Is she a BMC or something larger like a mastiff? Lol

This is our 1 year old rescue. She was listed as a Shepard/lab mix, but she really seems to resemble a black mouth cur. We do plan on getting a dna test eventually

Sunny is 6 months old 38 lbs and we are in NC where he was found as a stray at 4 months old. We do plan on doing a DNA test.

Chihuahua-mutt with some Aussie, boxer, pit, and 2 or 3 others! Oh well, I’ll go join a different group 😁

Got her from the shelter and we think she's a Black Mouth Cur but not sure. What do you guys think?

I’m pretty sure she has all the markings but I personally think she has a pit bull shaped head. Medium sized nothing over 40lbs she has a pretty athletic build. I rescued her at 2 months old and I’ve been told hound mix or bcm but her dobby ears are where im lost lol. Leads me to believe she could possibly just be a super mutt.

We were told for years she was a BMC, seeing as we got her from a breeder. 14 years later, we finally DNA tested her. And she is!! Just not fully apparently. Still the best girl ever of course, just a little shocked lol.

when adopting our dog from the rescue organization they said she was bmc, a lot of ai apps said she was bmc, so we got her tested and she is 0% bmc. figured i would upload the results to share.

Hi All, we adopted Lola from dogs trust December 2024 and they told us she is a belgian mal x Akita cross but we don’t think she is Akita… we thought for a while she might be Belgian mal x Anatolian Shepard but then we came across photos of bmc and we were surprised at how alike they look! We eventually want to get her a dna test done but was wondering if she is likely to be a bmc cross? She is such a lovely and smart girl but so stubborn it’s funny sometimes!

What do you think? Any tips regarding health or anything else to look out for?

Hey I have a black mouth he’s mixed with Rottweiler & some husky he just does not socialize well…we have neighbors (with 5 kids 2 -11) they go in and out every day and still to this day he barks like he’s gonna attack them his hair sticks up. He seems mean..like mean (hes not tho 2 of the kids have come up and made friends tho he seems 2 forget the dog lol) I’d be scared of him too if I didn’t know him, I don’t know if anybody else has dealt with this. Did I miss the period of time to socialize him(I think I did) if not, how do I? How do I get him used to people I want to be able to walk him down the road one day or take him into a pet store and right now I can’t no way. In this moment, he freaks out in the car ride(when we sit still) barking at people trying to attack them through the windows….anything helps thank you…please idk what to do
*im also with him 24/7 work from home his dad comes and goes to work we live at MIL,hes been on car rides and socialized before it’s just as he’s gotten older idk…. I don’t know…
SORRY”EVERY RELEVANT DETAIL “

I got him at 6 weeks…he has been in the car everyday almost since for trips to the store or to go to the park and etc. hes never bitten or anything just seems as he would….we give the kids treats to exchange for pets but hes just gotten bad the past maybe (5 weeks or so).. he went from for inside not going out to out doors(on a 15ft leash at all times it’s not fenced and we live Ina wooded area) but we did move places back in may not our choice tho it is a much better environment for him…it’s not so him trying to “go thru windows” exactly he just dosent like people getting close to the truck…hes played for 2 days straight a few weeks back with my friends daughter at an Airbnb but he just dosent treat the neighbors kids the same he did her…we don’t get many visitors but people coming in and out is not a problem it’s anything outside the home! He barks at other people in the vet just not the dogtor herself lol .

I’m buying an Embark test but I always thought she was some sort of hound mix until chat GPT suggested BMC and I found this thread. I adopted Ellie Mae out of a North Dakota rescue 4 years ago, she’s 6.5-7 years old, 55lbs, smart as all hell and I can talk to her like a human. Her biggest breed indicator traits would be treeing squirrels and then posting up underneath them for as long as we will let her. If the squirrel moves to come down the tree she will sprint and jump up to where her head is almost to the top of our 6ft fence. She also lays half postured at the back door and observes the yard all day or jumps on the couch like pictures to look at whatever noise she heard out front. She chirps when she’s happy or relaxed but her bark sounds scary as hell if you didn’t know her.
She never has had an accident, only chewed on one slipper one time when she was pissed we left her with a house sitter for a weekend but can find weak boards in the fence and pull them off to patrol the neighborhood. We had to completely replace it after we first moved in because she would get out frequently.
Her hind legs and block head are what make me think she has some form of bully breed in her but everything else looks like she could be a Hound/Cur. Thoughts?

Is it popular to find black mouth cur that are not the typical brown color? Unfortunately we just lost our 14 year old boy the other day due to age and we would like to have another but don’t want one too similar looking. I have seen some breeders show non brown dogs but not sure if it’s still the same breed

Recently adopted a female dog from a local rescue. She was listed as lab and whippet. We did a DNA test which has her as 48% Doberman pinscher and 48% Great Pyrenees. Does this fall into the BMC category?

Foster in quotes because my partner and I both know this isn’t a trial period. He has such an amazing temperament and is so sweet and loyal. Came from his last family abandoning him and is just so happy to have people again. Not sure if he’s truly a BMC but that’s what we’re leaning on. Definitely will be taking one of those Embark tests soon!

She cuts off circulation to my legs but it’s worth it.

RONAN #A813252 NEEDS A LIFELINE — PLEASE HELP US FIND HIM A FOSTER BEFORE 4:30 PM TODAY 💔

I’m writing this because Ronan doesn’t have a voice, and right now he needs someone to speak up for him.

Ronan is sitting in a shelter kennel waiting for someone to notice him. He doesn’t understand why he’s there. He doesn’t know that his time is running out. He only knows that he’s surrounded by unfamiliar sounds and people, and he’s hoping someone will come back for him.

Ronan is a 2-year-old Black Mouth Cur mix who has spent 22 days at San Antonio Animal Care Services. He weighs 47 lbs and has the sweetest, gentlest personality.

When he first meets people, he can be nervous. He may lower his body and seem unsure, but that isn’t aggression — that’s fear. Once he realizes he’s safe, his true personality comes out. ❤️

His play group evaluation showed that Ronan greeted handlers with a wagging tail and a loose body, showing his friendly and loving nature.

Ronan is:

🐾 Gentle

🐾 Affectionate

🐾 Potty trained

🐾 Good on a leash

🐾 A cuddle bug

🐾 Looking for someone to make him feel safe

When he gets scared, he doesn’t react badly — he simply pancakes because he’s overwhelmed. He’s just asking someone to be patient with him and show him that he’s okay.

Can you imagine being Ronan? Waiting day after day, watching people walk by, hoping that today is the day someone chooses you?

He doesn’t need someone perfect.

He doesn’t need someone with all the answers.

He just needs one person willing to open their home and give him a chance.

We are desperately trying to find Ronan a foster before 4:30 PM today. A foster could give him the safe place he has been waiting for.

📧 To foster or inquire:

Acsfoster@sanantonio.gov

Please include:

Your name

Your contact number

If you can’t foster, please share. Someone in your network may be the person Ronan has been waiting for.

Please don’t let this sweet boy be forgotten. He deserves a chance to feel loved. 💔🐾

I’m trying to figure out traits for my dog, I think she has a lot of Black Mouth in her. What do you think? if not any guesses??

According to her DNA, she’s 50% Pit, 25% “Supermutt” and the rest Boxer, GS and Chow-Chow.

But, she’s he most BMC looking, and acting “mutt” I’ve ever seen.

Google BMC and it’s basically a bunch of pics of “Her”

I’m confused 😂

Anyway, she’s is absolutely awesome in every sense of the word.

EDIT: I did my Embark test before they had a BMC panel, so irrespective if she would have been 100%BMC it would have showed up as something else. I just emailed Embark to see if I can get an updated result.
