I've got a little mountain feist, great house dog and loves outdoors. Great fit for our family all around. I run most mornings with the dog...and he will go 7 or 8 miles and still has plenty of energy. Loves to chase coons and squirrels, loves to tree them especially coons. He was a rescue dog out of oklahoma. Really had a tough start to life from what we were told and he was super skittish when we got him. But lots of love and patience, and head been awesome House and kennel trained, microchipped, very smart and responded well to training and treats. I can honestly say from time we got him when he was about a year old to now, have NEVER had an accident in the house with him, and great manners. Hes not a fan of coons, foxes, etc and when I run in early mornings when we see one it is game on! He will bawl like a coon hound and do everything in his power to chase them and tree them if coons. He was built for it you can tell. Indoors he can shut down and be a real couch potato too. Loves to sit on our laps late at night to watch TV. Great nose, big ears, great eyesight. Really built for hunting. Thing can go 40 mph I bet with his nose 1 inch off the ground working a trail. Really fun dog to have around.

Money cannot buy you happiness, but it can buy you a trapping license and that's pretty close.

Crazytrapper does that dog tree coons or were they all trapped? The ones in the pic were all trapped. She does tree, but she trails silent and catches some before they can get up a tree. She has a shrill chop when she trees. She likes it when we call den trees. Sits by me until they hit the ground after the shot. She has caught several runners that bailed out of the tree on us. I am working on her to stay until I send her after the shot, even if they hit the ground. Hunting waterfowl is helping that. She knows she is not permitted to retrieve waterfowl, until I send her on them. There is something about fur though that tempts her to break on the shot. I have been shooting the coons in the trap and making her wait before I let her give them a shake, and that is helping. She doesn't wait ever time though. If we have a mean boar that is lunging at us, she cant wait to grab him immediately after I shoot. It is my fault that she breaks after the shot on coons because last year when she was a pup she was not aggressive enough so I was not making her wait after I shot animals in the trap. I was just happy if she would grab them at all. Now after this season, she is a little over aggressive and I am going to have try to make her back off a little. She is coming along well though. She would be much better if I trapped like I did back in the 80s.

My Airedale/Lab, she is a great dog all around. She had never ceased to amaze me. Sweet, smart , listens good, and tough as nails. She once found the only coyote that has ever pumped a stake out on me and tracked it at least half a mile just by scent, and kept it from going anywhere till I could get to it. Now that is one good looking dog! I always wondered what an airedal/lab would look like. Bet that dog will do it all. I've got a little mountain feist, great house dog and loves outdoors. Great fit for our family all around. I run most mornings with the dog...and he will go 7 or 8 miles and still has plenty of energy. Loves to chase coons and squirrels, loves to tree them especially coons. He was a rescue dog out of oklahoma. Really had a tough start to life from what we were told and he was super skittish when we got him.

Any dog that can keep up with Jim on his morning run is a superstar! Lol

Seems like everyone wants to cross everything with poodles now days. Maybe a mountain feist x poodle = Mountain Poo would make a good one. LOL Or Poo Feist.....
Common sense is a not a vegetable that does well in everyone's garden.

Any dog that's been taught good obedience and will sit, stay and come right away each time a command is given will make a good trapline dog as well as a good companion. My dogs all live in the house and are all taught to be "gentlemen" in addition to the basic commands. No jumping up on people, no rushing out the door or down the stairs in front of humans, no begging at the table...
It makes them much nicer to live and travel with.
Eh...wot?
