Those who live in Western states, do cats and dogs

[raccoon]

hunt prairie dogs?

1. Pretty much all cats and most dogs, especially terriers, that is what they

were bred for, eliminating vermin.

2. But most of us don't let our cats and dogs play with wild rodents

prone to carry a lot of cooties we don't want shared in the household. ;)

Terriers are very good to 'go to ground' after vermin. Coyotes do too, which is one of the reasons the prarie dog shears off all vegetation near burrow entrances. They like to make sure there is no cover for anything sneaking up on them.

3. Yes, and be VERY careful of disease

Particularly in the Southwest. Prairie dogs can carry some very nasty forms of plague.
