I like the little terriers especially JRTs … my last was a barker, but I halfway blame myself for encouraging him to “git em”…his momma and brother are the type dog you’re looking for. JRT's are tough critters.
Conduct is the best proof of character.

JRT's are great dogs, but maybe a bit more intense than what the OP is looking for. Still, they're hard to beat.

I'm looking for a new pup/dog for a family pet and also for me to take to the farm rambling about, hunting, and riding the ATV. I would love it if there was such a thing as a beagle-sized <SNIP> dog that is small enough to physically handle to get in in and out of the truck and the ATV. My dad has a miniature schnauzer that fits the bill, <SNIP> A rat terrier would likely work, <SNIP> I don't mind if they give one or two barks of alert when someone comes to the door, but when they won't let up it drives me crazy. Any suggestions? I didn't read all of the responses, so apologies if the following breed has already been mentioned. But have you thought of a TECKEL or Wire Haired Dachshund as they are known in different parts of the world outside of Germany? The few I've been around are smart, tough, super determined, and highly trainable hunters that love (live) to retrieve and swim like mini-Labs. At 10-15 lbs they're not heavy but they 'punch way above' their weight!
Pursuit may be, it seems to me, perfect without possession. Robert Kelley Weeks (1840-1876)

When “Tuffy” was born, I had the whelping box next to my bed…when the pups got to where they were crawling out, I built a pallet pen with chicken wire and put it in the living room…every morning when I got up at 4 a.m. to go to work, the little bastard would be standing with his front paws on the fence while the rest of the pups were in a pile sleeping… I’d pick him up and take him outside…I had him potty trained before he was 8 weeks old…never messed in the house… never chewed anything up and never got in the garbage…
