Does anyone hunt with feist dogs? Do they hunt close in to the hunters? Which would you prefer feist or cur?

i've saw some feist that were good squirrel dogs, i had one back about 13 yrs ago that was a good one..but as you can see from all the post lobolly has made on here with hotrod , curs make great ones also, so it is really jusy a matter of personal preference i'd say

I have hunted with several Jacks and own a Ratterrier that trees the fire out of squirrels, if I was serious about wanting a bonified squirrel dog, they would not be at the top of my list. Don't get me wrong, my Rat loves to tree squirrels and excels at it here in the yard but these dogs don't have the hunt to them that a good cur or tree bred feist does. All of the best dogs I have been with reggardless of breed have been between 20-40lbs with alot of "go" in them. Personally, I like my dogs on the upper side of that scale because I like a dog that can handle a coon as well as a squirrel. But that's just me.

I agree with Loblolly,I have a Jack Russell that is 13 months old & loves to hunt & would not take nothing for her & if you are hunting smaller areas this is a good dog because mine does not hunt out real far but if you want to get out there I like the currs as I will be getting one this coming month.It is all about what you want just enjoy.I have always wanted a good dog to hunt with & recently had the same question & after hunting with my Jack & a curr I am getting a curr.I have had 2 cases were I shot a coon out of a nest & it scared me that my 9 # Jack was shaking a 15# coon!!!!!!!!!! good luck & happy hunting.
