The Cajun Squirrel Dog is also known as Kemmer Stock Squirrel Dog, Old Cajun Squirrel Dog and Kemmer's Tennessee Mountain. It is not considered a pure breed but a type of dog that is used to hunt small game specially squirrels.
Developed by Robert Kemmer by crossing the Bounce Mountain Feist bloodline with some of his smaller Kemmer Stock Mountain Curs. Mr. Kemmer talked Calvin Boutte (aka the Cajun) into continuing this breeding program and that is how the breed got the Cajun part of its name. The rest of the name comes from the fact are used to hunt squirrels as well as raccoons.
This is a sturdy breed with a medium-length double coat that comes in red, yellow, or brindle. They have friendly temperaments and are usually energetic and alert. The height of an adult is about 12-18 inches (30-46 cm) and weighs between 20-30 pounds.
