I've been working with Murphy to get him excited about chasing squirrels, and getting him the idea to jump up the tree and bark at them. He's taken to it well, and today he treed his first squirrel! Everything is real thick here and it was a ways off, so I had to point it out to him, but once he saw it he did his job perfectly, stood at the base of the tree and barked at it until I got over and shot it. Super proud of him!

Not exactly bred for it, but he s decided the neighborhood squirrels (and black cats) are his mortal enemies, so I figured we'd try it. Didn't take much for him to learn to stand on a tree trunk and bark at em, now we're working on spotting them in the woods

You’re from Beatrice? My wife just watched a documentary on “the Beatrice 6”. As a local, do you think they had a role in it all or what?
