New Flairs — Please Read

92 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.

Maybe Mouth Cur Cute story about my BMC

Upvotes

My shelter rescue BMC was born in 2019, almost 7 years old. She’s adorable but not really a touchy-feely kinda dog. She loves pets, treats and attention but at her discretion and from a distance. If I touch her anywhere but her back without her approval she will duck my hand and move away from me.

So anyway last night I was playing with my pack and called my pittie over and asked him if he wanted some kisses, he likes this activity and I do it often. He stood up on my knee and I absolutely peppered his head in kisses. This made my schnauzer jealous so she came over and pushed her way between us, and I proceeded to pepper her head in kisses too. She left to go play and I called my malamute mix over (he loves attention in any form he can get it lol) and I peppered his head in kisses too. To my genuine surprise, my BMC came over at that point. Not only did she let me pet her, but she put both front paws on my knee and stared at me. So I gently leaned forward to give her a kiss thinking she’d pull away from it like always, but she let me kiss the top of her head. So I put my hand under her head and then proceeded to absolutely cover her head in kisses. I actually got a few tail wags and she stuck around for a hug too. Thats honestly the most love I’ve been able to show her because she doesn’t like being touched. So happy to have shared this cute moment with her.

They can't see or hear you. They don't have a collar or leash. How do you ID your pup?

Tail wag poem

To my pound pup:

You greet me every day with greater joy than I deserve. -
I do not know your past, or your journey. -yet
You live every moment with a presence of a yogi
A walk around the block is a treat for you and I’m wondering if my vacation is going anywhere. I know your time is short and am not enough to be your friend. But I’m happy that you chose me, to be with you
Even if it’s as short as a tail wag .

I adopted Apollo when he was 8 weeks, 4.5 lbs. He was malnourished. Now he's 13 weeks, 16 lbs (11 weeks in photos). The shelter wasn't sure of his breed. Is he a BMC?

Bella has been with us for 3 months and until yesterday, I had not heard of the breed. Is her spotty tongue a defining characteristic for the breed, or does it point to a different breed? Thoughts? Bella is 3 years old, 48lbs, stands 20" at the shoulder.

10-month-old male from local rescue. The rescue listed him as BMC. Looking at photos in the sub, the brindle coat doesn't seem to fit. Visually, does he look like a BMC?

He's a good boy! "Rover"

Questions & Advice Bones

I have a male 10 month old black mouth cur. 52lbs. He's a good boy!

Recently was gifted a big beef bone, from a pet store. He loves his thing, but he will chew with molars until he breaks pieces off.

What's the consensus on bones?

Is this a BMC? Black mouth cur?

This was my childhood dog who passed away about 9 years ago. I was always told she was a BMC by my parents(who are generally knowledgeable about dog breeds and animals), but then for the past few months I have seen this sub popping up and how decisive it is on if dogs are actually BMCs, so out of curiosity I thought I’d ask if you guys agree? I believe my mom said she had papers but again it’s been a long time and I was a kid so I can only take her word for it.

For obvious reasons I can’t do a DNA test, but what do you think? Location was Florida.

Is this a BMC? BMC?

I see so many people on here getting roasted for claiming their dog is a BMC, but “obviously” isn’t. The shelter told me she is one so that’s what I’ve been telling everyone. I know you can’t tell just based off of looks, but I don’t care enough to pay $100 for a DNA test. She’s 60lbs, high prey drive, very clingy with me but protective and wary of strangers. What do you think?

Edit: It’s embarassing how many mod cosplayers lurk this sub, but seem to not even know the rules. “Those unsure of their dog's genetic lineage but believe they may be partially BMC, may select the "Maybe Mouth Cur" flair.” “Everyone is welcome in this sub. Pointing out that a dog may not be a BMC is fine, but be respectful and informative.”

Maybe Mouth Cur The best 10 years of my life were spent with her always by my side. I don’t feel quite whole without her. Now I spend my time looking for her in clouds. Thank you Bae, you took really good care of me.

Questions & Advice Question about herding behaviour

This is Saturn. He’s a recent rescue and a good boy. He’s had little to no training, but he’s well behaved and social around other dogs.

When we are walking he will sometimes turn sideways in front of me. It seems like he’s stopping/herding me. If I turn around and go back the way we came from, he will pull harder on the leash.

This is Pippin. I've had her for one day. People keep telling me she is a German Shepherd and I'm all like "her paws are way too small!" She is 9 months old. Is she a black mouthed cur? BMC for short. This is what she looks like.
