Tamaskan Dog Information and Pictures, Tamaskan Dogs. Mountain View Cur Information and Pictures, Mountain View Curs. The Mountain View Curs were developed by many years and generations of strict selection and line breedings starting with a strain of Original Mountain Cur. They are named after the kennel name (Mountain View) of the original breeders Michael J. and Marie A. Bloodgood, who developed the breed in the late ’80s in an effort to own Curs that could hunt and be outstanding hounds, but would handle much better.

The Mountain View Curs are known today as the purebreds and thoroughbreds of the Cur dog world because of their uniformity as a breed. Many feel they should not be called a "Cur" anymore. "Cur" means dog of unknown origin. But the Mountain View Curs have a known origin. In 1987 the Mountain View Cur Kennel was formed in Afton, New York, and was owned and operated by Michael J. and Marie A. The search for Curs that could fit this bill proved to be a difficult and challenging task. They found that 4 of the 6 were of a certain ancestry and were better reproducers.

Nova Scotia Duck-Tolling Retriever Pictures 1. Newfoundland Information and Pictures, Newfoundlands, Newfs, Newfies. The Newfoundland may be a descendant of the Viking "bear dogs" or nomadic Indian dogs. Others believe the Newfoundland is a close relative of the Labrador. This theory is based on the similarities between the two breeds and the fact that the coast of Newfoundland and Labrador are very close to each other. It is possible that the Labrador, which is an excellent swimmer, was able to swim the Strait of Belle Isle or cross on foot when the water was frozen. Many believe the Newfoundland originated from crosses between Tibetan Mastiffs brought to Canada by British or European fisherman and local dogs early in the 1700s. Others say the Newfoundland dog is related to the Labrador, however not in the way stated above.... This gentle giant was used for hauling in nets, carrying boat lines to shore, retrieving anything which fell overboard and rescuing shipwrecked and drowning victims.
