When I was younger there were quite a few smallish terrier mixes or beagle terrier crosses being used for squirrel dogs. Don't recall that anyone bred litters to hunt, but most dogs can do the job OK. Youngest son used to take our little female [bleep]-zu. She was a great squirrel dog and aspired to be a cow dog...
Edit; The little [bleep]-zu was maybe the biggest tick magnet of all time...
