Bruce was very professional and easy to work with. You can tell he truly loves these dogs & has a passion for Mountain Curs & good bloodlines. Our puppy has been a fabulous addition to our family. He quickly won over our senior Mountain Cur & is very smart, learning quickly from him as well as cues from us to heel, come, & not bite or chew (which every puppy naturally wants to.) We were amazed how he seemed to be crate trained when we got him and has been easy to house train. We have also been very pleased with how good he plays with everyone in the family and seems to know to adjust his intensity level of play for who he’s interacting with, including our grandchild who is just turning 3yrs! We highly recommend Bruce’s puppies to anyone looking for a good hunting or versatile farm dog, or just a special new addition to your family that brings a lot of joy and laughter to your home.
Health testing is one key piece of responsible breeding and is performed on breeding dogs to prevent the presence of heritable conditions in their puppies.
