This forum may influance you to go cur but keep an open mind, there are many different dogs that may be used as decoy dogs, it doesn't have to be a cur.
The best decoy dog I have ever seen or owned was a Border Collie....think about it the dog was bred to bring back animals.
Same with bird dogs, they were bred to bring back birds, is it so different to bring back a coyote.
In the first doggin coyotes video he used a short hair and a Airdale/ Beagle cross, I believe. And those dogs did a better job than the curs in his second video.
Curs can do it and there are some pretty fine decoy dogs that are cur. Just saying , keep a open mind and get what suits you.
Curs
Birddogs
Hounds
Terriers
Mutts
Pits
Hearding dogs
You can find good in any of them if you want to. You have to feed it so you be happy with it.
We use an Australian Cattle dog She is getting better on stand the more we go. She is headstrong stubborn at times and to smart for her own good. But you cant ask for a more loyal dog. rp
