im interested in getting a fiest to squirrel hunt with. ive always had coonhounds and was wondering if the squirrel dogs were easier to train by themselves than coonhounds? what is the best way to get them started? and what bloodlines should i try to look for? im interested in getting a pup even though i know i should start with a started of finished dog. any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks

First, color is nice, but it shouldn't be THE deciding factor.

in my opinion sq is the easier of game to start a dog on due to the fact there is more of them moving around at any given point. most of my hounds get started on sq, and i train all my smaller fiests n terriers by theirselves.

BUCKNER IF U START WITH A PUP MY ADVICE WOULD BE TO MAKE BUDDIES WITH THE PUP TEACH HIM BASIC OBEDIENCE ESPECIALLY COME !TEACH HIM TO BARK ON COMMAND TAKE HIM FOR WALKS IN THE WOODS AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE AROUND 6-8 MONTHS SET UP A SQUIRREL FEEDER IN THE WOODS WALK THE PUP TOWARD THE FEEDER OFTEN A DIFFERENT WAY TO IT EVERY TIME.SOONER THEN LATER PUP SHOULD SEE OR SMELL SQUIRREL GET HIM TO TREE A COUPLE EASY ONES KNOCK THEM OUT FOR HIM THEN NO MORE FEEDER JUST START HUNTING HIM HARD.THIS HAS WORKED WELL FOR ME THANKS BRIAN
