Treeing Tennessee Brindle History

The Treeing Tennessee Brindle is considered to be a descendant of the Old Brindle Cur dog, one of the Cur breeds. The term “cur dog” was commonly being used as a reference to a type of dog, who is without pedigree. Nowadays, the Cur type of dog is widely recognized as a group of purebreds. This group of breeds finds its origins in rural areas of the Southern states of the United States of America. Because of the lack of records, the exact date of these dogs’ creation, is unknown. However, presumably, the breed was developed around the turn of the 20th century. The Treeing Tennessee Brindle like its name suggests is originated from the Northern parts of the United States of America, most notably from the area in and around the Ozark Mountains and the Appalachian, an area including the states of Kansas, Missouri, Arkansas, and Oklahoma.

The Treeing Tennessee Brindle is a hound breed, which stands out because of their brindle coat, which they got their name after. The breed was developed, for the same reasons as other Treeing and Cur breeds were, for hunting purposes. As the breed was bred out of Cur dogs, breeders put a great emphasis on the dogs’ scenting ability, and to be an open trailer with a good voice and the ability to tree any kind of game. Treeing is a special hunting technique, which uses dogs to force the game to climb up into a tree, and keeping the prey there until the hunter arrives at the scene. There is even an idiom, which comes from this type of practice; “barking up the wrong tree”. The Treeing Tennessee Brindle is smaller in size and has a shorter ear than other treeing breeds, and the breed is different in conformation than the Plott. The breed has an extraordinary strong scenting ability and is a very versatile working breed.

The breed’s most well-known enthusiast and promoter was a man named Rev. Earl Phillips, who gathered information about the breed in the 1960s, with the intention of drawing up a breed standard, for the reason being that the breed (as other Cur, and Treeing breeds) was not recognized by any kennel club, due to their different exterior looks. Thanks to Re. Phillips’s efforts, on the 21st of March 1967, the Treeing Tennessee Brindle Breeders Association was founded in the State of Illinois, in order to preserve the brindle-coat and to develop further the Treeing Tennessee Brindle’s abilities and intelligence.

The AKC (American Kennel Club) recognized the Treeing Tennessee Brindle in 1995 as a Coonhound. Finally, in 2017, the UKC (United Kennel Club) also registered the breed within their scent-hound group. Nowadays, the Treeing Tennessee Brindle is fancied by many around the whole world, both as a hunting companion, and agility champion, thanks to the dogs’ intelligence and sporty physique. The breed is also kept as a family companion.
