I have a pair of littermates that I am working on right now.  One is ½ aussie and ½ border collie and the other ½ aussie and ½ golden.  Mama was evidently a lady of easy virtue.  ::)  The both show a real interest in the tree rats.  My only problem is that the Ozark woods are now crawling with ticks and unlike on the two dogs the Frontline doesn’t keep them off me.  It doesn’t take much encouragement to get a dog to chase and tree squirrels.  Even my overweight ½ lab, ½ blue heeler will get a wiggle on when she sees one.  The real trick is to get them to take notice of them moving through the trees.  Which brings up the question of which makes the best squirrel dog a scent hunter or a sight hunter.

He absolutely hates them.

My favorite was a smallish BLACK MOUTH CUR bitch I had.  She would herd the kids and kill all cats on the block.  She treed only squirrels.

My most unusual was my family's miniture Poodle, Pierre.  He flushed rabbits and hunted squirrels!  We had to have him put to sleep when he was 17 years old!  I was only 11.  I still get a tear in my eye whe I think about him.

Another favorite was a Lab/Bluetick cross dog.  Easy going and you could just talk to him like a person.  He's "guarding" my buddy's goats and chickens now.  I still pick him up and take him tot he back forty for some hunting couple of times a year.  Don't think he's going to be around much longer.......Damnit!  Who started this depressing thread!

Standard (full) sized poodles were originally hunting dogs. My oldest daughter has a Yorkiepoo that is a tree rat chaser. She is a sight hunter and watches good, but is just getting started and looses 'em in the branches sometimes.

I had a small part German Shepard when I was a kid. She was a machine and a half.
