re: Are Cur's known to kill small animals?

Even my little Yorkie will go after anything alive. Watched my Jack Russell take out about a 4 ft. Black Racer a few years ago and was surprised how quickly he dispatched that sucker. I lifted a soft grill cover that was laying on my porch, and the snake took off. I didn't even have time to react, because I would have just caught the snake. But he grabbed it instantly and shook it. It was dead in a matter of 3-4 seconds. The Jack Russell used to dig up some pretty big moles and kill them too.
