Squirrel dogs

[coyote101]

Jeremy (topdawg) brought his dogs to Hopkinsville for a little squirrel hunting with some friends.  A good time was had by all. 

Sugar and Peanut kept us busy. You better be ready for some walking if you're going to follow those two around the woods for hours.

Now that sounds fun! The one dog is so small I bet he could make it halfway up the trees

It is great fun Jim, but there is a LOT of walking invloved.

She is a Mountain Feist, a little ball of energy that goes like the Energizer bunny.

 I would love to do that for sure!  I have been doing some studying on them but I don't think they would survive the winters

They live in the Grand Rapids area of MI and don't seem to have any problems.  I don't know about your temps, but snow doesn't bother them at all.  Then again you might have more animals that look at them as a tasty snack.  There is a Red-Tailed hawk that comes to visit about every day but that hasn't slowed the population growth.

I know a teacher here in town (actually lives outside of town) who has a few coon hounds and also started one of the dogs running squirrel.  Not sure, but I don't think it is also used for coons, but I don't know.  He has been having lots of fun with the dog and the squirrels.  Two weekends ago he took his dog and others brought theirs for a youth squirrel hunt over in Indiana.  The kids really enjoyed it.
