You should have seen him in the dog park one time when he took a squirrel as he was running the permitter of the fence line tying to cut it off before it made it to safety. Once he got it, he ran all over that damn park showing it off to EVERY OTHER DOG in there. When he was through doing that, he brought it over and threw it at me feet! Then he picked it back up and threw it again...and again...and again! Then I placed it outside the fence a ways...some bird came and got it within the hour. (At least it didn't go to waste.)

Thats a quick dog that can catch a squirrel. I had a short legged beagle whe I was growing up.

Think of a daschaund on steroids. He caught a crow one day... went slinking out across the field, til he was about 15 feet from it, I thought I was watching a cat on the prowl... and then he broke at a dead run, the bird freaked, flared its wings, squawked, and took flight... This little munchkin of an excuse for a beagle took to the air in a mighty bound, must have made it five feet or maybe a little more, snagged the bird, flipped about three times in the air and landed flat on his back, bird in his mouth, no air in his lungs... He groaned as much as a dog can, rolled over, got to his feet and proceeds to try to bury the thing... He scratched at the ground for a minute, dropped the bird in the scratch mark, and then proceeded to cover it with grass clippings... Lazt dog didn't even dig a hole... I was rolling... He went and layed down, I tried to get the bird to properly disopose of it and you would have thought I was taking cujo's last meal... %^*#$%&%^&@$&@$87 dog... I put him inside and then went and took care of the bird... Dog was royally pissed...When he passed on about 13 or 14 years later, i think he still held a grudge...
