The Feist breeds are descended from the terriers
brought over by English miners and other working class immigrants. These terriers probably included crosses between the Smooth
Fox Terrier, the Manchester Terrier and the now extinct white English Terrier. Some of these dogs were crossed with Whippets
or Italian Greyhounds (for speed) and Beagles (for hunting ability). Eventually, these tough little terriers evolved into
today's squirrel hunting Feists.
Treeing Feist was reconized by the UKC on Nov. 1, 1998
The above information came from the UKC website.
