Yea, my Golden Rusty was awesome. He loved people, but he was also very protective of the house. They are very gentle dogs and great with kids.

Oregonhunter:you are right about Jack's being a live wire.I am just a little partial to beagles and Jack Russel's.
of the two beagles are the easiest to handle.
I have a mutt,that my greatnephew gave me about 10 years ago and he is a doll,behaves well,gards the homeplace well,and love me to no end.
a MUTT is a good chose I guess afterall.


I am not a hunter I am a whitetail population reduction specialest

remember keep your back to the sun, your knife sharp, and your powder dry.

befor you get any dog look into the Cathoulas ,ive hunted with dog for 20 years and now have only these dogs ,no one steps a foot on the property without me knowing about it , very good with people and LOVE kids, watched a young one pull every hanging part of my dog blue, he did nothing but look at me like now what? he is the best hog dog , but when is kid time hes a different dog , i also like labs around kids only problems with these breeds is you must put them up if you want to disiplin your children LOL, both are meidum size and a catahoula needs a lot of running at least an hour a day full out. good luck hoghunter51

My neighbor has a Jack Russel and he is the most action packed dog I've ever seen.The kids love him and he isn't afraid of anything.From what you wrote it sounds like a match.

I would consider a feist and the various cur breeds. They make great companion dogs and very loyal. also you mentioned you hunted squirrels, there aint nothing like hunting squirrels and coon behind a cur or feist. I have a 2 yr old boy and the dog and him get along fine. the feist are small, they dont eat much and dont require very much space. I would stay very far from a Jack russel, they tend to get aggresive and hyper active, plus if you want something to hunt with also dont leave the house with out a shovel if you get a jrt, they will go down any hole they can fit into. go to sqdog.com and read up on the curs and feist on the message boards
