1990 Litter of MVC's "Clones"

2008 Litter of MVC's "Clones"

As you can see our litters are uniformed in their looks as well as their extremely high intelligence, strong willingness to please, unbelievable abilities, and Natural Tree-Dog instincts. No other Tree-Dog Kennel can boast that 99% or better of their pups are satisfying their customers with most saying our pups are the best they ever owned and making Natural Tree-Dogs as well as well tempered family companions year after year from 1987 to present. It was this unequaled high percentage of natural tree dogs and high satisfaction rate, that resulted in their great reputation and for being recognized as a separate breed, the "Mountain View Cur". While others are averaging only 20-40%, at least that is what our new customers are telling us.

We started breeding gun dogs in 1971 and are the founders who developed this pure bred breed of Mtn. Cur over 38 years ago and built there outstanding reputation around the world. They are considered the "Thoroughbred" of the cur dog world. Even AKC as well as UKC wanted to register the MVC breed as their first cur breed, but they would not continue the Certification requirements, so they were refused. As you can see in the photo's above our pups are virtually clones of one another in looks, but also in the woods and is why they have such a high percentage (99+% today) of satisfaction with hunters around the world and make excellent companion family pets as well as farm working dogs, with the best guarantee in the dog world, a 100% Life-Time Satisfaction Replacement Guarantee!
 
They have also excelled as Companion Pets, Service Dogs, Dogging Coyotes, Search & Rescue, Drug & Bomb sniffer dogs, Antler Shed dogs, Game Recovery, Waterfowl retrievers (Natural retrievers), and everything else canine possible. This is because they have a "STRONG WILLINGNESS TO PLEASE" their owner/s who say they are of the highest intelligence ever found in any breed.

How we train your Mountain View Curs

For Natural Tree Dogs.

Take a dead squirrel or coon skin and rub it on a trunk and tie a cord onto squirrel/coon skin and hang it out of reach in the same tree. We go get the pup (4+ months old) and work them down wind of tree and work them toward the tree. Pup should smell scent, sniff tree and look up tree, some bark without encouragement and some don't. Pull squirrel/skin up and down the tree until pup is barking real good and then drop the it down to them for a reward and run it up another tree and get them barking up again and let it down to them. It is very rare that a pup will show no interest, but if they don't, just wait month and try again.

As we walk back to the house we throw the squirrel holding on cord to teach them to retrieve them to us. We then make them harder to find and no longer rub on trunk just hang them out of sight, so they use scent in the air to locate and tree. We only do this a few times and once they can locate a dead squirrel high up in a pine or cedar tree so they cannot see them, they are ready to hunt. This can also be done with a coon or bob-cat skin if you hunt them. This programs them to the game you want them to hunt, makes them think game is waiting for them every time we enter a woods, learn that the game will be found up a tree, and how to wind and locate game that has never been down and to tree on body scent. This eliminates them from guessing and makes them very accurate tree dogs.

For squirrel dogs we also like to find some tall bushes lined up in a row and tie some dry squirrel tails on line of a fishing pole and set the tails on top of a bush. We the wiggle it for the pups to tree on and then make the tails look like they jumped to the next bush and so on. As the pup swings a head of the squirrel, we make them think they stopped the tails from topping and then go the other way and do the same. Within 15 mins. they now know how to stop a topping squirrel without being even hunted. Trained hundreds of our Mountain View Curs this way with 100% success.

For Dogging Coyotes.

This has become a very popular use for our Mountain View Curs for over 30 years and one of the first Mt. Cur breeds used for this.

Use a peace of fresh/frozen coyote skin or tail and tease young pups with it and get them biting, shacking, pulling on it, praising the pups. Then use it to lay a drag so pup can follow the sent, the pup will then be programed to follow the coyote to find it. Always, praising the pup when they find it. MVC's have a strong willingness to please their master, so praising them is very important. Once the pup is 6 or more months old, the pup will natural follow coyote tracks and when they catch up to a live coyote pack they will lead them back to the gun. Coyotes cannot stand dogs in their territory and can't resist chasing anything that runs away from them. They are so focused on what they are chasing, they don't even realize a hunter is waiting for them and will get very close to a shooter. A whole pack can be eliminated one by one on the same hunt as your MVC will run back out and lure them all back over and over again. Once your MVC understand that you will kill the coyote for them, they will become dogging coyote machines. For your dogs safety it is best to have two to protect each other from a pack. We have placed hundreds of MVC's for this and have had 100% satisfaction to date.
