About the Camp Cur
The Camp Cur, also called the Mountain View Cur, is an American working cur developed for treeing squirrels and small game and for versatile farm and hunting duties. Like other curs, it is a rugged, athletic dog with a short, dense coat that handles rough terrain and variable weather. It is intelligent, driven, and highly biddable in the field, with a strong nose and treeing instinct. Bred for function over form, the Camp Cur is loyal and protective of its people while remaining a tireless hunting partner. It needs a job and daily physical outlet, thriving with active, outdoorsy owners rather than a sedentary household. Coat colors vary widely.
Every dog is an individual — genetics, socialization, health, training, and environment matter more than breed averages.

It is recognized by the United Kennel Club within its family of American cur breeds.

Questions to ask a Camp Cur breeder
- What working lines are behind the litter and what were the parents used to hunt?
- Have the parents been evaluated for hip health?
- How are the puppies socialized to family life as well as the field?
Health considerations to discuss
Hip dysplasia. As with most active medium-large dogs, hip screening of breeding stock is prudent.
Working injuries. Field dogs are prone to cuts, footpad damage, and muscle strain; routine post-hunt checks help.
Ear infections. Active outdoor dogs benefit from regular ear cleaning to prevent moisture-related infections.
