We rescued Lola back in October 2025 and she was listed as a Black Mouth Cur. I hadn't heard of the breed until we stumbled upon her. The more I dig through this sub, the less certain I am that she is a BMC lol.
What's the verdict?
This is Eevee. I got her 4 months ago from the humane society at 8 weeks old, her litter all looked like black labradoodles except her. We did a DNA test and the results are here in the images. I know the information bubble says Wisdom Panel detects BMC, but everything I've read says Wisdom Panel can't reliably detect it, and that it usually shows up as a confetti mix of bully and working breeds, of which there are many in her results. Also we're pretty sure the Chow chow and the golden doodle was the mom, so I guess she'd only be half BMC if she was. What do you guys think? FWIW she's extremely high energy, smarter than any dog I've ever owned, and I've owned many, is very chompy like a malinois, like she will chomp air to communicate when she gets excited, and will exhibit herding behaviors.
Edit: the DNA test was done 4 months ago, right when we got her, if that matters for their DNA data set for BMCs

I'm looking to adopt a puppy, but my fiancé has allergies. I'm pretty much heartbroken that I can't adopt a mutt. I love not knowing exactly what you're getting, and I've always hated the idea of buying a purebred when there are so many great pups of dubious parentage that need homes. But, circumstances being what they are, it seems like we will need to purchase one. I read online that mountain curs and black mouth curs are hypoallergenic, and they seem like a dog I'd really like. But I'm not totally sure I can trust what I'm reading-- it's hard to find a lot of info. Can any cur owners confirm if their dog is/ is not hypoallergenic?
This is what we call a BMC in rural Central Florida. I have been around these dogs for 30+ years. We use them for catching hogs and coons. They are also used for herding cattle up and are very loveable pets.
id like to see some real purebreed bmcs and hear about what jobs they do
We recused Gabby nearly 3 years ago when she was estimated to be 6 months old. Stray from Tennessee. Her paperwork said Shepard Mix, but we always thought she was a BMC. Doggy DNA test said 94% pitbull and 6% other. She’s now 3.5-4 years old and weighs 40 lbs. Very timid, gentle, and friendly. Maybe she was a runt given her small size? Anyone confident she is a BMC, or something else?
We will be getting a DNA test at some point to know for sure, but when searching images we saw Black Mouth Cur and she looks super similar! Curious if you all agree. Rescued in Oklahoma.
My mom adopted his puppy a couple of days ago. He’s listed as a lab mix, but I’m not seeing it. He was also rescued from a puppy mill. My whole belief was that puppy mills don’t necessarily breed mixed dogs, unless it’s something like a doodle? Idk could be completely wrong. My guess at minimum was a black mouth curr/pitbull mix. The ears are throwing me off though.
Ours boys 2, we were told BMC multiple times in the past but really just looking for general consensus. Thanks guy!
Sorry folks, I'm just visiting and see "Is this a BMC?" is taking up a lot of bandwidth here. We got this weirdo from a rescue, and are curious what she is. Appears to have more black in the face then most BMC but wouldn't hurt to ask. We'll probably try a DNA test.
Very interesting mix! He’s 75 pounds.
Results just came in. Gonna head over to the Shepherd subreddit. It's been real, but we are outtie 9000. Stay frosty my beautiful blackmouth friends!
And yes, I picked some goofy pics for ya'll
