Is a Black Mouth Cur a Pit Bull?

No, Black Mouth Curs are not considered Pit Bulls. “Pit Bull” is an umbrella term that refers to a few bully or bull terrier breeds, including the Staffordshire Bull Terrier, American Staffordshire Terrier, Bull Terrier, American Bully, and American Pit Bull Terrier. 

As a medium to large-sized dog with a muscular build, short coat, broad head, and strong jaws, the Black Mouth Cur can resemble some pit bull breeds, especially the leaner but still muscular American Pit Bull Terrier. Some Pit Bulls can also feature coat colors and markings similar to those of Black Mouth Curs.
