I have always wanted a good squirrel dog. What a great relationship between a man and his dog. OUTSTANDING!!

Thanks Charley! This was a fun video to make.

Oh just subscribed yes sir I wouldn’t never sell my dog 👌what’s hit is a good shot what’s missed is water under the bridge that’s what some of us say here in the U.K.

If I had one like her she would die of old age in my house. Cause she would not be for sale. She is a beauty. Enjoyed watching her work.

[@robertwright6146]

A great dog under a knowledgeable hunter! Both know their game! Wish I was there!

[@Tikkarifle]

I miss my hunting dogs. Having a good dog like Bitzy makes shooting so much better. Getting the bond is very special. Thanks for the video.

She's got the grit alright, definitely showing her prime

[@tracker5849]

Good to see the man loves his little dog...she's not just a tool for hunting

[@msb2948]

It's so nice to see the real deal in motion as most of the hunting world is so commercialized and full of nothing but self gain. Squirrel hunting with dogs and people who get it is as pure of a hunting pleasure as can be had, and I have hunted elk, bear, lion and many exotics; and as fun as those hunts were, nothing is as good as what this fine man and his lady produced in this video. Congratulations on this video and I hope you folks make more.

Love the comment " If we want to stop and eat a sandwich she will be there when we are finished ". I timed my dog for 6 hours on tree near my house. I agree it is all about the dog.

Awesome video. I took my grandsons on the squirrel hunt at Buffalo Ridge Refuge 2 weeks ago. It was an awesome experience watching those dogs work. My oldest son and I are picking up 2 Mtn Feist this weekend out of Ky. Keep up the good work.

Have been hunting squirrel for 35 years, never with a dog. The info given here about squirrel behavior was gold! subbed.

By far the most informative and entertaining squirrel hunting video I've seen. Been hunting squirrels with dogs for 3 years. Much of this I've learned in that time but you've taught me some good tips and I thank you for that. Good hearted gentleman here and it shines thru. Good editing &video too, thanks for that.

[@doughesson]

A good squirrel hunter is also a good deer hunter. The 2 critters like the same habitat & most of the same foods.

[@doughesson]

I hunt rabbits & squirrels with my Dachshunds & usually a single shot .410. Great fun & sometimes the dogs get the kill instead of me pulling the trigger. I just learned a new tip about hammering on trees to start the squirrels moving.

More people looking for a dog than has one because they don't put the time in required to make a good dog. It take time in the woods. AND yes some dogs get it better than others. I agree my dog is not for sale either.!
