Terminologi

Etimologi

The derivation of the word cur comes from the 13th century. This is considered short for Central English curdogge , derived from the word curren , which means to growl . According to The True Etymology Dictionary the original root may be German, possibly from Old Norse kurra which means to grumble . If so, the word may be onomatopoeic (ie "grr dog").

Curs versus feists

Amongst the dog experts, the term cur and feist both refer to the dog breeds of North America. The term feist , however, is exclusively used only to this smallest, such as DenMark Feist, Mullins' Feist, and Thornburg Feist; whereas the curse is much bigger. In addition, the term feist is one of several terms that has been used to refer to Rat Terrier, which is not a tree dog.

In 1790, Thomas Bewick wrote:

Dog Kur is a trustworthy and useful servant for farmers and shepherds; and, although this is not regarded by naturalists as distinct races, it is now so commonly used, especially in Northern England, and great care is given to breed it, that we can not help to regard it as permanent. type. They are primarily employed to ride cattle; in what way they are very useful. They are bigger, stronger, and fiercer than the Shepherd Dog; and their hair is smoother and shorter. They are mostly black and white. Their ears were punctured; and many of them were soaked with short tails, which looked as if they had been cut: This was called the Tailored Dog. They bite very sharply; and because they always attack them, the cows have no defense against them: In this way they are more than a ding, which they must quickly run. Their wisdom is enormous. They know their employer's field, and pay great attention to the cattle that are in it: Good Dog Watches, go around; and, if there were any strange cattle that had to appear among the herd, though not forbidden, he quickly flew toward them, and with a sharp bite made them have to leave.

Although these dogs have actually been raised, they are still regarded as lower bongrels. In the Scottish periodicals, Blackwood's Magazine in 1819. His article, "Species and descendants of Canine descent", written by Sir P. Sean Lacey of London (1776-1842), quotes "separating criminals" and cur descendants of their esteemed standing. "This may have led to a common term found at the beginning of Webster's Dictionary that defines" cur "as" a worthless dog, or a dog derived from a wolf ".

History

Upon arrival in North America, the colonists discovered that the English hunting dogs they brought with them often quickly lost or left mines that sought refuge in trees, as the dogs were raised to hunt terrestrial animals such as rabbits, red foxes, badger and deer in a field that is generally less forest.

But in North America, there are many animals like raccoons, opossums, gray foxes, tree squirrels, black bears, jungle cats, and puma that will utilize the protection of trees, where English hunting dogs will lose them or grow up frustrated or bored and leave they are in favor of quarry on the ground.

Dogs naturally trees are mined, regardless of ancestor, found, favored, and brought up for necessity, but because they contain non-genealogical, unknown, or non-European lineages, they are seen as low by the dog experts at the time and named the curse . The use of dog kur for North Americans leads the negative connotation of the term to turn into awe, pride, and appreciation proved among breeders, hunters, and fans across the continent to this day.

Recognition

Historically, they are sometimes regarded as mutts or bongrong to reflect the impression that they are somehow inferior to the true Eurasian race dogs that have been bred for certain physical features, not or in addition to achieving simple practical tasks. In contrast to genuine mutts, however, which are natural selection products, random-bred without human involvement, tree tinkering after their initial discovery developed by artificial selection, deliberate planning and organizing crossings by humans, in some cases using strategic, prudent and sophisticated farms that require profound knowledge and understanding of pedigree. However, American cultures have traditionally classified curs with mutts, and outside of North America, breeds are typically unrecognized by major show registries, since most have been selected not for physical features or for successful performance on the ground, and so many Breeds Cur with relatively "loosely" or "flexible" written performance standards. The diversity produced in appearance in these breeds can present a challenge in assessing conformational exhibits from Cur breeds. Breeder Cur confirms that their breeding options focus on the work mentality and physical outcomes in breed Cur that tend to be healthy genetically and healthy.

Today the United Kennel Club has an active registration program and a competition hunting program for these dogs. He acknowledges at least four breeds specifically called cur :

• Black Mouth Cur
• Cheat Mountain
• The Stephens curve
• Curling Tree
