Il termine cur è solitamente usato per descrivere un cane bastardo, con una particolare natura aggressiva e ostile.Si ritiene che il termine derivi dal kurra nordico kurra, che significa "brontolare o ringhiare". In Inghilterra il cur, chiamato anche cane dei drover, era una razza distinta di cane usata dai mandriani di bovini, razza oggi estinta.
