Sometimes other breeds & mutts, will make fine squirrelers, for sure.
If you do a search on best rated squirrel dogs, you will be surprised at what you will find.

I tried to view the link JimK posted but it will not play for me. So, I used the title to do a net search and it pulled up. I do not know if that is a Cur dog because of the white, but it appears to be one, or perhaps a Cur/Terrier mix.

I don't think "squirrel dog" means it's the size of the squirrel. 🤣

The little schweenie dog that I posted a video above just had her 10th birthday. Her eyes are failing and she's definitely a sight hunter but she misses a lot nowadays. In her younger days she has caught a couple squirrels and killed them. Also a few birds. But, even in her prime she was too small to navigate in the woods.
 
My 3rd German pointer.

He use to sit in the window waiting for Squirrel to get in the yard. Smart dog.
Watched him get that tail right off one or two.

He caught mice in the house. Good at it.. that was a little loud at night around the house.

It's funny seeing the GSP in the window go all shaking when the Squirrel show up. Then it's off like a rocket the table chair and things go flying. All day the dog did that.
 
We once owned a redbone that would tree squirrels,opossums & raccoon..

The only problem with her was it might be a 1/2 mile walk before she sat down to tree another squirrel.

All the feist I’ve owned worked in close ..👍

My uncle had the prettiest matched pair of small runt-sized redbone hounds you ever saw, brother & sister, perfect duplicate red dogs, chop mouthed yippers, pure pleasure to hear and see them work a tree with a squirrel in it. LOL the squirrel didnt know what to do, would whip around like on a merry go round. You had to be quick when you shot the squirrel cause if they got it first they'd tear it to smithereens.

Like you say, if they came across a racoon or deer scent BOOM off they'd go like bats out of hades and you might not see them again till dark 😄
