You have heard us talk about Florida Hog Dogs..Here's LucyLu, the latest member of the household. Her mama is a Robinson Green Eye Pit @ 75 pounds and her daddy is a Florida Red Cur.....The Florida Cur is a cow working dog that has been developed over the past 150 years by cattle people here in Florida. They were a common dog until after the second war, when Florida was open range. They are getting rare now. The Cur will weigh around 70 pounds (male) and 60 pounds (female). They are a tough, long winded dog that can handle the heat. They are very even tempered. We use 1/2 and 1/4 Cur for the best hog dogs. They will bay and worry a hog, but will catch on command. They are very quick!
Where the pit will just charge in and get cut up, the cross will work a hog watching for an opening. The boys have to used cut vest on the Pits, but not on the Cross. This dog weighed in at 40 pounds before she was 6 months old! When she is two years old, I will breed her back to my full blood pit, Tyger.
Now you have seen a real Florida Hog Dog....Regards, James
