A very important difference between the Mountain Cur and the Peek A Poo is the size difference between the two dog breeds. The Mountain Cur is a large-sized dog while the Peek A Poo is a tiny-sized dog.
Furthermore, the Mountain Cur belongs to the Working Dogs group. Working Dogs were developed to assist humans in some capacity – including pulling sleds and carts, guarding flocks, guarding homes, and protecting their families. Breeds in the Working Group are known for their imposing stature, strength, intelligence, and fearless. Because of their size and strength, working dogs require a structured home life and firm, fair, consistent training by someone who can provide leadership without resorting to anger or physical force.
