I'm not Tammy, but I can answer your questions.
The pups daddy is my Jack Russel that I call Nub....Gamiest dog I've ever come across. I have pictures of him taken a few weeks ago with a young coyote that he caught in our pasture.....tracked it down and held on for dear life. He will indeed tree, run a rabbit (has ran several of them down and caught the), is one of the best possum dogs you have ever encountered.....what I call a "meat dog". None of this was ever taught to him....his entire life is about hunting something, sleeping, or checking all of the females on the place for signs they may be coming in heat....
If you hear him barking, it is because he has something bayed, treed, or caught.
Momma is a rat terrier...and rat terriers are a little "barky" around the house. Usually they bark AT something, but not just to bark. Momma is like that. She will bark at a car pulling in the drive, or if she sees someone or something that she is not familiar with. She hunts with Nub, but doesn't have the drive to constantly find something to catch or kill. I've not seen her tree anything, but am sure that she might have if Tammy wasn't holding her in her lap when she was a pup!
