In general, modern contexts, the term Cur is a slang term for mongrel dogs with a distinct negative connotation.

Originally, however, the word "cur" referred to a certain British purpose-bred, short-tailed cattle droving dog known only from historical records, the cur dog.[1]:459–460

Among dog experts, "curs" are any of several closely related North American purpose-bred treeing hounds, some of which have since achieved breed recognition.[2]

but you knew this already.
