I have a akc registered mountain cur, brindle in color. She is hell on squirrels, coons, and armadillos. A wonderful dog for here on the farm because she loves to run and has plenty of room for activities. I prefer to hunt squirrels alone with a scoped, suppressed .22lr. However, I take her for a run almost every day so she can work off some energy. She is great with our many grandkids.
