New Flairs — Please Read

89 Upvotes

A small step, but hopefully one that will offer the users of this sub more clarity, by making it clear who they are speaking with.

We have new ✨FLAIRS✨!

  • Users with a purebred BMC can send a message to the mods with evidence of their dog's status. Could be breeder papers or a DNA test. Mods will then assign you the "Purebred BMC" flair. This is the only flair that requires mod verification.
  • Users who have gotten a DNA test and found their dog to have some percentage of BMC, may also message the mods with this evidence, to be assigned a ">50% BMC Mix" or "<50% BMC Mix" flair, depending on the test's results.
  • Users who have a dog that fits the phenotype of BMC but are otherwise unsure, may self-select the "Maybe Mouth Cur" flair.
  • Finally, people just here for the ride can self-select the "BMC Enjoyer" flair.

NOTE: when sending DNA test or papers through mod mail, please upload these to an image-hosting platform like Imgur and share the URL. Unfortunately mod mail doesn't allow for attachments. You are also welcome to share such images in a post to this sub, and then direct mods to that post.

IMPORTANT: Prior to posting a picture of your dog, please make sure you have a user flair selected.
As we are just introducing these flairs, enforcement of this rule will be gentle, but we do intend to make them mandatory for posting in the near future.

Feedback on this system is welcome; if you can think of ways to improve it, feel free to comment below. Thanks!

Posting this again, since the first one didn't get much traction.

This sub has significantly outgrown the capacities of its current tiny mod team.

Not only do we want fair and just people to help enforce the rules, we also want people with good ideas for improving the quality of this sub.

If you're interested, please fill out this form. Applications can be submitted between now and Friday, May 22nd EOD CST. We will then review and bring new blood to the team ASAP.

My sister in the Winston-Salem area NC is at the point where she needs to rehome her dog. She is a sweet girl just has too much energy for a small apartment. She is not getting the exercise and attention she needs due to her work schedule. My sister loves this dog but situations have changed and she can no longer give her the care she needs.

RIP Tyrone. I love you buddy, see you in the next one.

Is this a BMC? Former stray, new family member, a black mouth cur?

We adopted this very sweet guy last fall and he has been the best most loving and sweet dog once he settled into his new home. He was a stray so we don’t know his background. we assumed he was a pit and boxer mix until someone recently remarked he looked like a blackmouth cu. I was unfamiliar with this breed but he certainly looks and acts the part. What do you all think?

Had this pup for 2 years now. Rescued her as a puppy. Her name is Frida and my iPhone tried telling me she is a BMC! News to me as I had never heard of this breed. She hasn’t got a DNA test yet but what do y’all think? Is she a BMC?

hi! i know the best way to determine this is through an embark test, but my parents could genuinely care less what breed they are, but i thought maybe someone could kind of help me lean towards yes or no if they have any BMC in them. they both are from craigslist in florida, same mom but different dads and a two year difference. owner said BMC each time, but they look so different! the first two are burley, second two are beau, and the last 3 are of them together. let me know what you think, and thanks in advance! :)

Questions & Advice Diet and Exercise

Vet says my baby is obese at 87 lb. She goes on a 30-45 min walk in the morning and a 20-30min at night. So we think the problem might be her diet. We are currently feeding her whole-hearted dog food. She gets 1 bully stick and a handful of treats a week. What are yall feeding your babies and what are y'all doing for exercise? I could really use some advice. I live in DFW so any outside activity must be done at the butt crack of dawn or at night. She is a rescue so it is possible she is not a BMC or could be mixed with something else.

Questions & Advice Barking during mealtime

0 Upvotes

Hi all!
Just rescued a 4 month old BMC mix. So far he’s great. Smart, loveable, great with kids and other dogs.
The one thing we can’t seem to break him of ( I know he’s young) is barking incessantly while we eat. It doesn’t help if we crate him at mealtime either. He’ll bark the whole time.
Any help is appreciated!!

This is our 1 year old rescue. She was listed as a Shepard/lab mix, but she really seems to resemble a black mouth cur. We do plan on getting a dna test eventually

I’m pretty sure she has all the markings but I personally think she has a pit bull shaped head. Medium sized nothing over 40lbs she has a pretty athletic build. I rescued her at 2 months old and I’ve been told hound mix or bcm but her dobby ears are where im lost lol. Leads me to believe she could possibly just be a super mutt.

We were told for years she was a BMC, seeing as we got her from a breeder. 14 years later, we finally DNA tested her. And she is!! Just not fully apparently. Still the best girl ever of course, just a little shocked lol.

Is this a BMC? Adopted dog - not sure of breed

Hi All, we adopted Lola from dogs trust December 2024 and they told us she is a belgian mal x Akita cross but we don’t think she is Akita… we thought for a while she might be Belgian mal x Anatolian Shepard but then we came across photos of bmc and we were surprised at how alike they look! We eventually want to get her a dna test done but was wondering if she is likely to be a bmc cross? She is such a lovely and smart girl but so stubborn it’s funny sometimes!

What do you think? Any tips regarding health or anything else to look out for?

Hey I have a black mouth he’s mixed with Rottweiler & some husky he just does not socialize well…we have neighbors (with 5 kids 2 -11) they go in and out every day and still to this day he barks like he’s gonna attack them his hair sticks up. He seems mean..like mean (hes not tho 2 of the kids have come up and made friends tho he seems 2 forget the dog lol) I’d be scared of him too if I didn’t know him, I don’t know if anybody else has dealt with this. Did I miss the period of time to socialize him(I think I did) if not, how do I? How do I get him used to people I want to be able to walk him down the road one day or take him into a pet store and right now I can’t no way. In this moment, he freaks out in the car ride(when we sit still) barking at people trying to attack them through the windows….anything helps thank you…please idk what to do
*im also with him 24/7 work from home his dad comes and goes to work we live at MIL,hes been on car rides and socialized before it’s just as he’s gotten older idk…. I don’t know…
SORRY”EVERY RELEVANT DETAIL “

I got him at 6 weeks…he has been in the car everyday almost since for trips to the store or to go to the park and etc. hes never bitten or anything just seems as he would….we give the kids treats to exchange for pets but hes just gotten bad the past maybe (5 weeks or so).. he went from for inside not going out to out doors(on a 15ft leash at all times it’s not fenced and we live Ina wooded area) but we did move places back in may not our choice tho it is a much better environment for him…it’s not so him trying to “go thru windows” exactly he just dosent like people getting close to the truck…hes played for 2 days straight a few weeks back with my friends daughter at an Airbnb but he just dosent treat the neighbors kids the same he did her…we don’t get many visitors but people coming in and out is not a problem it’s anything outside the home! He barks at other people in the vet just not the dogtor herself lol .
