Dad's getting to old to chase coons hounds and being out at night. Told me this morning he thought he would like a good squirrel dog. Wanted see what your thoughts are. Feist, Mountain Cur etc.


Thanks

Just got a Mountain Cur 2 months ago. Hopefully going to be a trapline, squirrel and shop dog. Smart little pup for sure.

I chased after hounds all my life, three years ago made the switch to a combo Squirrel,coon and trapline dog. A Kemmer Cur. Best decision I ever made. He hunts with me instead of me hunting him.

Seems like there's one that pops up in every thread! I was just trying to find out some information.

I've hunted them with several species - the best were probably feist, curs, and (believe it or not) jack russels and norweigan elkhounds

My black lab was an excellent squirrel dog ,when she was a pup I shot a squirrel and it fell at her feet and was not done running yet ,it headed back up the tree she grabbed it jerked it back down to the ground and when she did that it bit her through the upper lip she then preceded to grind the squirrel into the dirt and from then on all she wanted to hunt was squirrel and she new every tree in the timber that held a tree rat,she sucked as a pheasant dog she would clear a 40 acre field in no time

Hunted with a mountain cur for the second time this weekend. 19 squirrels the first weekend and just under that the second weekend. He was an amazing squirrel dog and you could call him off a tree when needed.
