In the United States, people referred Feist Dogs as early as in the 1700’s. In fact, many historians consider American pioneer dogs. Whatever the case may be, Feist Dogs have been around for a very long time. And, upon looking at them, you may not be able to tell them apart from some other terrier breeds. They descended from terriers that English immigrants brought over to America. You likely have seen them but not known what you were looking at, because of their similarity to quite a few more popular dog breeds.įeist dogs are small to medium sized hunting dogs. I have both a Fiest and a Siamese cat and they get along fine.At times the Fiest may get a bit too ruff.You might be suprise that my Fiest is faster then my cat in both speed and reaction.Have you heard of the Feist dog breed? Or the Squirrel dog? If not, you are not alone. Much to our delight, we found the Mountain Feist! Can anyone who owns one of these great little dogs along with a cat comment on their behavior towards felines? In short, is this a good dog to pair with cats? Thank you! My husband and I were originally hoping for a Jack Russell terrier, but upon finding out that my beloved cats would most likely become snacks, went looking elsewhere for a similar dog. My three year old fiest has never given any trouble with running away or not coming when called she was very easy to house trian and has been a delight to have in our home Because of that - if she were to find herself loose, I have no doubt that she would just follow her nose from one thing to another, totally losing track of where she is. I have seen our feist dig beetle larvae out of the ground - that were inches below the surface. HOWEVER, these are hunting dogs and they have very good senses of smell. Fortunately (for her and for us) her owners did not look for her, call the shelter where we registered her as a "found dog", or put up signs say "lost dog". However, she did run away from home is how we go her. He goes away from him & always comes back! Please do not confine this breed to a house or apartment. We have a large fenced yard which may be enough, but we take our dogs to a free-run dog park everyday where she gets the exercise she NEEDS. This dog needs substantial daily runs to work off energy. Is this any breeds you would recommended me to raise? I am looking for a dog that is generally health, doesn't need a lot of grooming, friendly and small enough to live indoors I live in NYC so there isn't a lot of grass around my area where they can run and play games. I am planning on buying a dog but I am not sure if this dog would be good to raise in a City Apartment. I would think so as they are active always ready for fun! Would a Feist dog make a good Moutain biking tag alone dog on the trail with me? She follows them and is always with them. I have 3 children this pup is 4 months and very loyal to them. I do not have any kids yet but am thinking about children in the next year or so. Fiest puppies may be born with a long tail that tends to curl up over the back or may have a naturally short tail.
