Eydie  & Carrie love one another and they've shared a home for 2 years together.  Both dogs are housetrained and per their previous owner good with children.   Eydie  is very timid and is very reliant on Carrie.   

According to the experts:
Black Mouth Curs are great family dogs. They are great social dogs if trained properly. The BMC is a "very smart" breed who "by nature need to bond a few weeks" with their owner/trainer before training can begin. The breed shows great loyalty and may even die for their owner.   Fearless and relentless in the wild, Black Mouth Curs happen to be very sensitive and gentle with people: Around children, they tend to tone down the play and become more mild and protective. They are outgoing, affectionate and very protective of family members.  As they grow older they become very laid back. "The BMC was bred as a homestead dog that would protect its family and home against intruders. These dogs are bred for ability and intelligence which is one reason that they are so versatile.  They have a strong natural desire to please their master.  Most can be controlled by the tone of voice that the master uses and they can be trained to do anything.
