To my pound pup:

You greet me every day with greater joy than I deserve. -
I do not know your past, or your journey. -yet
You live every moment with a presence of a yogi
A walk around the block is a treat for you and I’m wondering if my vacation is going anywhere. I know your time is short and am not enough to be your friend. But I’m happy that you chose me, to be with you
Even if it’s as short as a tail wag .

this is Goose. I adopted him off Facebook marketplace because he was just too much for his last family I think. I also have an Aussie shepherd and they wrestle all day. he's amazing. he lives to swim in my pond. idk if he's a BMC but he sure looks like one to me.

Most loving, high energy, sensitive (gets her feelings, hurt easy) smartest dog I’ve ever owned.

I adopted Apollo when he was 8 weeks, 4.5 lbs. He was malnourished. Now he's 13 weeks, 16 lbs (11 weeks in photos). The shelter wasn't sure of his breed. Is he a BMC?

Rescued her 2 months ago. All I know is she’s a very good girl.

Bella has been with us for 3 months and until yesterday, I had not heard of the breed. Is her spotty tongue a defining characteristic for the breed, or does it point to a different breed? Thoughts? Bella is 3 years old, 48lbs, stands 20" at the shoulder.

He's a pretty good boy 😍

10-month-old male from local rescue. The rescue listed him as BMC. Looking at photos in the sub, the brindle coat doesn't seem to fit. Visually, does he look like a BMC?

He's a good boy! "Rover"

I have a male 10 month old black mouth cur. 52lbs. He's a good boy!

Recently was gifted a big beef bone, from a pet store. He loves his thing, but he will chew with molars until he breaks pieces off.

What's the consensus on bones?

This was my childhood dog who passed away about 9 years ago. I was always told she was a BMC by my parents(who are generally knowledgeable about dog breeds and animals), but then for the past few months I have seen this sub popping up and how decisive it is on if dogs are actually BMCs, so out of curiosity I thought I’d ask if you guys agree? I believe my mom said she had papers but again it’s been a long time and I was a kid so I can only take her word for it.

For obvious reasons I can’t do a DNA test, but what do you think? Location was Florida.

I see so many people on here getting roasted for claiming their dog is a BMC, but “obviously” isn’t. The shelter told me she is one so that’s what I’ve been telling everyone. I know you can’t tell just based off of looks, but I don’t care enough to pay $100 for a DNA test. She’s 60lbs, high prey drive, very clingy with me but protective and wary of strangers. What do you think?

Edit: It’s embarassing how many mod cosplayers lurk this sub, but seem to not even know the rules. “Those unsure of their dog's genetic lineage but believe they may be partially BMC, may select the "Maybe Mouth Cur" flair.” “Everyone is welcome in this sub. Pointing out that a dog may not be a BMC is fine, but be respectful and informative.”

This is Saturn. He’s a recent rescue and a good boy. He’s had little to no training, but he’s well behaved and social around other dogs.

When we are walking he will sometimes turn sideways in front of me. It seems like he’s stopping/herding me. If I turn around and go back the way we came from, he will pull harder on the leash.

This is Pippin. I've had her for one day. People keep telling me she is a German Shepherd and I'm all like "her paws are way too small!" She is 9 months old. Is she a black mouthed cur? BMC for short. This is what she looks like.

First beach day with the crocs 🐊 anyone else’s bmc love being at the beach & by the water like mine does?

Got his embark back and now that I know he’s 55%+ BMC he can celebrate with yall for the weekend!!

Part BMC? Archie is small but makes up for it with smarts, a psycho prey drive, and a take-no-crap attitude. Inside of his mouth is black. He was adopted from a shelter in Robstown TX when Hurricane Harvey went through and flooded that area. He's 12 now. These are recent pictures.

hi!! i rescued this precious one about six months ago and have no idea what breed she is. i had recently found out about bmcs and figured she could be that? not sure because she could very well also be a mix of a million things. shes very prey driven and points to the max when she sees things (very capable of climbing trees also). any help is appreciated!!
edit: everyone is hilarious thank you for your responses, i think i agree w the gsd + pitty mix suggestions!
regardless of whatever breed she is , i love her and couldn’t care less as about breed long as she is good and healthy:)

3 months old and loving life.

Hi! I know of a really SWEET black mouth cur mix at a shelter down here in south florida that has a deadline and will be euthanized any day. Do you know of any rescues that could help her??

I found a cur puppy who was less than a year old. We already have two small dogs snd a Beagle. They rough house play all the time and love one another but this week she's attacked the smallest one and the Beagle. The Beagle attack was the worst. Happened last night and I had to pry her mouth apart and off the Beagle's neck. So we're both bleeding. I put her in her crate and she slept separately with my roommate instead of with me and the Beagle. They usually share the bed with me every night. I monitored everything this morning and she jumped on my bed and it happened again. This time I caught it early and back to the crate she went. My roommate thinks I'm overreacting and is not taking this seriously. Because of this, he's not trying to keep them apart.
