What are Feist dogs bred for?

Feist dogs are bred primarily for hunting and treeing small game, particularly squirrels. These dogs are agile, speedy, and have a keen sense of smell, making them excellent at tracking, treeing, and flushing out small animals from their hiding places. 

Their high energy levels, intelligence, and tenacity also contribute to their effectiveness as hunting companions. 

Additionally, Feist dogs are often valued for their friendly and loyal nature, making them good pets as well as working dogs.
