Here in WV, squirrel hunting is a way of life that has been passed down for generations.  Squirrel hunting with dogs has been our passion for many years.  We try to raise top squirrel hunting dogs, that have one desire - to hunt squirrels and to get treed.  Our dogs are purebred Original Mountain Curs, registered with the Original Mountain Cur Breeders Association (OMCBA), the World Tree Dog Association (WTDA), and National Kennel Club (NKC).  We hunt these squirrel dogs throughout the year, and we welcome you to stop by to see them in action anytime you're in WV.  We squirrel hunt mostly for pleasure, but these dogs win consistently in squirrel hunting competition.  You'll see as you browse our site, we're proud of our squirrel dogs and proud to live in the Mountain State .

West Virginia State Squirrel Champion!

I got two of the pups from Lynn Miller in March that were from Mohawk X Sadie cross. The one I kept looks like Mohawk (Top Shelf Toby pictured above). My buddy got the blue male. Well let me tell you how my pup is. He just turned 6 months old and acts like he is 2 yr old. I leash broke him very easy and now when I turn him out he will walk along with me where ever without a leash. He is very calm and is very well mannered around my young kids. He is very vocal. He will bark at the birds on the feeders, and I have him treeing good on the yard cat. He will trail her up and tree pretty hard already. I have been in OMCBA since 1992 and have owned 100’s of feist and curs. This one has to be the best pup I have ever seen, all the way around.
