Dedicated hunters and breeders keep dogs that are true to the original purpose, and have little regard for appearances, therefore, there can be much variation within a single feist breed. Within each breed there are several strains or bloodlines. Today, there are several different types (or breeds) of feist. These little dogs were developed to serve several purposes, including hunting, pest eradication, and companionship. The word feist is of German origin from the word fice, or fyst, meaning “to stink,” or “a foul smell.” How these dogs have come to be known as such is believed to be a result of their early name of fisting (or fysting) curres, which meant “stinking dog.” Hunters in their truest form, unspoiled by the gleam of conformation shows or celebrity fad, they are bred and kept by those who still use them for their original purpose: hunting and companionship. The feists are a family of dogs developed in the Southeastern United States from old-time hunting dogs brought over by German and Irish immigrants.

We hope that you enjoy yourselves while visiting our site, and we invite you to come and visit any time.Click here for FULL BREED STANDARD Origins Here at High Forest Kennels we raise our squirrel dogs as a part of our families. We values our four legged friends, but most of all the love for God, family, and friends is what drives us. Our goal is to enhance one dogs' natural hunting abilities and combine it with another so that the next generation that is produced will be better. Our dogs are bred to start treeing at an early age and hunt at a high rate of speed and use all of their senses. Through our breeding program, we always breed to get better. We have made trips to Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, Arkansas, Missouri, Ohio, Indiana and Kentucky to get some of the best blood lines out there. We have put a lot of hard work, study, and mileage into acquiring and combining certain dogs to breed what we hunt. These tenacious dogs are usually medium sized, low maintenance, have a great temperament, aim to please and will give 110% any time you turn them loose. We have found that the Treeing and Mountain Feist are definitely our breeds of choice, although we have a few curs that will show you a bunch of squirrels. We try to produce what we feel are dogs that exhibit the most desirable traits from different lines. Now we have owned, hunted, and bred several different breeds of dogs over the last several years. Larry is eager to help out in any way, and will improve our breeding program with his dogs for sure!
He has acquired two well bred dogs with Champ, Sport, Wallace, and Williams breeding just to name a few. Mr Larry Skelton has hit the squirrel dog business full bore. We also added another family member this season. He has developed into a good treed dog at a young age. This little dog named Rocket converted Shane really quickly. He has been a die hard big bone deer hunter for years and trying to get him to give up time in the stand was hard, but he purchased a young atomic dog from Gary. Corey also likes to do his thing at night with his cur dogs, actively hunting coon when ever possible. He also has a desire to produce a dog that will hold pressure like no other. He hunts his dogs as much as anyone and has blood from the cur world consisting of Streak and Keemer breeding. Corey Carroll will be an asset to our kennels as well. He is willing to hunt young dogs and spend the time needed to produce results.
Some of the bloodlines that he brings to the table are the Atomic feist, and Cadillac Jack dogs. He has some of the best young dogs in our area. Gary Reeves has been a family friend for years, as he played football with my older brothers. We recently added three new faces to the Highforest Kennels Family.
He was responsible, most importantly my growth as a Christian. My interest was fostered by a wonderful Christian man, named Elton Jackson, who was my Preacher and mentor and friend. He also enjoyed field trialing beagles all over the country with a dear friend, Mr. Nutt’s love for dogs was developed while hunting squirrels as a kid on the banks and ridges around the Buffalo River. High Forest Kennels was created because of our passion for hunting with dogs. Our first dog was ATFA Gr Sq Ch Stagg's George and he taught me what a squirrel dog should be!!! I partnered with long time friend of 20 + years and we build a top of the line kennel. One turned out to be a great dog and one never did. When I returned from college and started a family, my preacher gave me two Barger feists. I started squirrel hunting as a young child, and fell in love with the sport.
