I have a squirril dog problem maybe someone can help me with. I have a 3,1/2 year old fiest that can strike and work a track but won't bark treed unless he can see the squirril. When he does see it he looks like a $1000 dog he'll tree hard and stays treed.
Has anyone else had this problem. If so can you tell me something that might help me fix it.
Thanks

I don't realy want to sell him. I've only owned him a week. I tried him with the man I got him from he did great. But the 2 rats he treed were in plain site. I'm trying to figure out how to add his picture on here.

That could be I've only had hounds in the past. This is the first Fiest I've owned.
I tried to add a picture of him it said it would have to be resized. I don't know how to do that.

I'm at work our server is set so it won't let me do the photobucket.
I'll see if can get someone to do it from home and put it on. It might take a little bit. Or I can email you one

Thanks for your replys. When I tried him he treed twice right off and did a good job of it. I guess when things are right he does good enough.If he's all he's going to be right now I can live with it if he locates 2 or 3 a day. I also have a Mountain Cur pup that I hope will take up his slack when he gets old enough. Thanks again

Thats my plan. I have only been hunting with him 4 times 1 one of them was before I bought him.
The other three times were not perfect conditions, cold and high wind. Its very possible that the squirrels are smarter then me and they knew to stay home.
I'm not ready to cull him over it.
Thanks

Thanks, it might be like wildgameassen wrote and I may have gotten worried about him to soon. I'm taking him out again in the morning I'm hopeing for a good day. If we do have a good day I'll tell about it on here and admitt my ignorance.
Thanks for your reply

IMO if you have only had the dog out once or twice you have no idea what the dog is capable of. He may have been haveing on off day or the squirrels weren't acting right. Hunt the dog every day possible from now to the end of season, then you can see what the dog is truely capable of.

I'm glad to say you were right. He treed 6 Tuesday and treed 7 today in about an hour and a half.
I guess I worried about it to soon.
Thanks
