No, but I have a bolt action 22 with suppressor.

We have a couple of Beagle mutts who got some squirrels in our yard about 10 years ago. The dogs are older, 13 and 15, and the squirrels can out run them now.

No squirrel dogs, but these guys were out yesterday, got 11 rabbits out. Have bunnies will travel.

As much fun as you can have with your clothes on.

Both my labs routinely try to make friends with squirrels. They consider them miniature labs. Absolutely ZERO killer instinct.

My Dobie has killed one before and constantly tries to get a second notch on his belt. He despises them. He's faster than them in a full sprint but they always have the head start when they see him coming. Coke spring im sure he will get another.
I also haven't seen any stray cats lately either. Hmm.

I think I've a relative of every generation of the same litter.

Constant embarrassment but I love the breed. Mine even make friends with stuffed squirrels. Snuggle with them and everything. Luckily I don't hunt so it's not a big deal.

Mine will chase everyone he sees. Never cought one tho. Dont know if he would know what to do with ir if he did. You can't even say squirrel in my house. He goes nuts. You have to say sq's.

I have a jack russell, so you might as well call him a squirrel dog. He hates em. catches a couple a year in his yard, and the jaws of death make quick work.

I was "dog sitting" my daughter's two Standard Schnauzers, a male and a female. I would walk them every day on a leach and every day, we would spot squirrels. I considered it a game - because I was taller, I would generally see any squirrels first and I'd wait till one of them spotted it. Then it was off to the races.
Because the schnauzers were a LOT faster than this 'ol guy, they would be dragging me along and the squirrels would always get up a tree and out of danger. This one time, we actually came close to catching one before it got to a tree - and I thought, "well, that's that."
The female had other ideas. She took a leap, grabbed the tree, and started climbing that tree. She was up ten feet before she got to the end of the leash and lost her grip. I caught her before she hit the ground.
She frantically circled that tree and I had to drag her away. Of the two, she was the hunter - the male could have cared less.
