The Treeing Tennessee Brindle is an American treeing hound of cur type, developed from the brindle cur dogs once found in small pockets across the country, especially between the Ozarks and the Appalachian Mountains. Beginning in the early 1960s, Reverend Earl Phillips used contacts from his hunting-magazine column to locate the finest of these striped, tiger-marked curs, and in 1967 he helped found the Treeing Tennessee Brindle Breeders Association to preserve and promote them. The breed's records have been maintained in the American Kennel Club's Foundation Stock Service since 1995, and the United Kennel Club granted it recognition in 2017.
This is a medium-sized, agile hunting dog, with males standing 18 to 24 inches tall and weighing 35 to 50 pounds, while females are somewhat smaller. The short, soft coat is brindle or black with brindle trim, often with small white chest markings, and grooming needs are minimal. Treeing Tennessee Brindles are intelligent, brave and notably companionable with both people and other dogs, and they bay or "give tongue" on the trail in true treeing-dog fashion. With a powerful hunting instinct and a keen nose, they are happiest in active, outdoorsy homes with secure space to roam. The breed is sturdy and generally healthy, typically living 10 to 12 years.
