Black Mouth Cur

Chestnut: Hero of Central Park (2004)

The Black Mouth Cur and Billy, along with other Southern hounds, are probably in more films than meet the eye. Let us know if you see any!

The title links will take you to Amazon movie pages (Reel Dogs earns a referral fee at no cost to you) or, for rarer titles, alternative sources for the films.

Chestnut: Hero of Central Park * Year: 2004 * Country: US * Breed content: Medium

The adult “Chestnut” is a Great Dane. The trainers worked with Black Mouth Curs to play the hero as a puppy in order to get the tiny size that the producers wanted. A Great Dane puppy small enough for little girls to tuck under one arm would have been much too young to work on a film set.
