Origin and History

The Treeing Tennessee Brindle is a hunting dog breed that dates back to several brindle dogs from the southern United States, particularly from the southern Appalachians and the Ozarks. Beginning of the 1960s gained Rev. Earl Phillips information on local brindled hound strokes ( Cur Dogs ) that were used for hunting raccoons and other small wildlife. There have been various efforts to conserve the different beats of the Cur Dogs, but nobody cared at that time to brindle Curs. Phillips founded this on March 21, 1967 along with other interested parties in these dogs, the Treeing Tennessee Brindle Breeders' Association. The AKC has taken the race in view of a possible recognition in 1995 in its Foundation Stock Service. Since 1 January 2010 Dogs of this breed can also participate in Companion Dog AKC events.
