Just wondered if anyone had asquirrel dog and how you went about training it.

Years ago I found a dog, a blue heeler in deep woods. It was in the woods on several different occasions when I would go deer hunting in the bitter cold.

Finally, I took the dog home and soon realized this dog had a knack for squirrel huntin'... I noticed the dog liked to eat acorns. He would chew them until they cracked then he would extract the soft part with his paw or mouth.

I had a yard full of squirrels and he would try and run up the tree with them. If, and I use the word "if" lightly, if the squirrel would run up the tree,he would keep circling the tree until he seen them again.

This dog would grab the squrrel and bring it back to me, a lot of times still alive. Her first and only litter produced three great squirreldogs and two rabbit dogs...

Miss the ole girl! Holly was her name.
