Description of a Treeing Feist.
A mountain feist is a type of dog. Like the lurcher, it is not a specific breed but a "Type".
The Mountain Feist was created in suburban southern North America. It is a good hunting dog, and a good companion dog. This is not a breed, but a type. It is usually a mix between a terrier and a hound, and is usually mistaken for a rat terrier or a jack russell terrier. A long dog (not a widely used expression) is a cross between two sight hounds. Mainly used as a squirrel dog, they are also good in hunting racoons and tracking larger game.
