One thing I like about these mountain curs is that they are eager to please and they pick up on things quick. I like that I can take ole' Rem out for a hunt and call him back to me when I want to go home. I don't have to drive to the next section and catch him like some guys with hounds do. Don't get me wrong I would own a hound but I prefer these curs. Are there any other treedog people on here or is it just me? Any squirrel dog guys?
