I moved into a house with a mouse problem (we’d find dropping on the floor in the mornings) and my two cats were useless. We got a dog about two months after moving in and the mouse problem disappeared immediately.
American Eskimo. Though she’s a rescue, so she could have some other stuff in there, but she looks pretty Eskie. She was definitely bred to tell us about everything she thinks could be a threat (which is everything). She used to be super fast though and she has definitely caught at least one squirrel in her life, and she was pretty young when we got her so I wouldn’t be shocked if she caught a mouse. We never saw it though.
Oh yes of course. We all know who has the real power. (Not the dog. Not us either.) One has since passed but the second is still going and she regularly wakes my husband up early in the morning to demand breakfast, and he gives in because he’s a sucker. We got two more after the old lady passed and the dog doesn’t dare look any of them straight in the eye, even when they’re rubbing on her, it’s hilarious.

What kind of dog was it? Some dog breeds were specifically bred for hunting pests.

The cats were still sweet boys/girls who deserved cuddles though, right?
