My Doggy Toby is usually a daschund (I can't say for sure if I'm spelling that correctly). Someone reported once that dashchunds (it's possible if I spell it differently every time, I'll get it correct one among a number of periods) were being initially bred to hunt and destroy gophers. https://possumremovalmtwaverly55433.fitnell.com/73281024/opie-the-opossum
