Treeing Tennessee Brindle

Originating in the Ozarks and Appalachian Mountains, the Treeing Tennessee Brindle is a breed of cur known for its superior sense of smell, speed and treeing ability.

In in the early 1960s, Reverend Earl Phillips, a columnist for a hunting dog magazine, became aware of an extraordinary hunting and treeing dog with a brown coat that was tiger-striped with black. He organized their owners to preserve and promote them as a new breed and in 1967 established the Treeing Tennessee Brindle Breeders Association.
