I love to hunt rabbits with my beagles,but in the past few years rabbits in my area are few.tons of squirrel just no rabbits.then it hit me, my dad use to hunt squirrel back in the day with a dog.so I started looking for a pup to train,there are lots of dogs that will tree squirrel but the top two are mountain cur & mountain feist.I picked the feist for it is smaller and hunts a smaller area. I was shocked on how much a started pup sells for so it looks like I will be the one starting, training, finishing, I found a guy that would sell me a pup so I bought two females. ( one for my son) going to pick them up april 9th,can't wait to get um.

had the feist pups out this morning,took them down to the corn feeder .was about 20 yards away from it when a big fox squirrel took off over the hill,with my pup right on it.before it could get up a tree she caught it.then the squirrel had her by the face.her sister jumped in to make squirrel let go then make a fast exit.she showed no fear even with a bloody lip.crazy little dogs

looking forward to hearing more. Reading about the squirrel fight sounds just like my how my dads dog behaves. would have like to seen that squirrel action. Not afraid of any ****, no matter how much bigger. Watched her kill a ****. Like a switch flips and they turn nasty. She was like Ali. circling, going in bite,toss. back out run back and forth in a half circle, back to neck bite/toss back out. She was like a yote, in and out until it was wore it down for the main kill.

my female just had her first litter of pups, 5/8/17. she had 8 pups, they all went to vet at 3 days old for a check up, dew claw's and tails croped. they are all doing good,going to be fun taking them out in the timber at 6 weeks old. I tie a squirrel tail from a road kill on a fishing pole,cast it up over a y in a tree to get them started. I use **** scent on the tail from cabelas to keep the scent at max
