To start you need to look into the different breeders of Feist & Curs and see if they have the type of dog you would be interested in and there are several. I like the Feist breed and the L.H. & Curt Blackmouth Cur. There are also Mt Cur out there to that may satisfy you. In the Feist I would recomend either Jack Buckley 606 785 0770 in Kentucky or Mack Ledbetter 256 748 2871 in Alabama and the L.H. & Curt Ladner Blackmouth Cur call L.H. Ladner 601 796 2150 in Mississippi.

There is a great book out there called:
"Squirrel Dog Basics. A guide to hunting squirrels with dogs"
by David A. Osborn

This is a really good book full of very useful info about ALL the squirrel dog breeds; curs, feists, and even hound. It also has a lot of good traing info; things to do and not to do. It's worth the money, in my opinion.

Good Luck
