Back in January she was outside to potty and she got the scent of something. She went rooting into a snowbank before I could catch her and stop her, and well, she came out with a REAL mouse. Wouldn't let me take it away from her, either, until she chomped the head a few times. Sorry, but that's what they were bred for. I don't encourage it because there's always the danger of her getting bitten, but it's almost impossible to stop her once she gets started. You can all go finish your dinner now.

We had a PekaPom that caught a couple mice. Our Yorkie chased a baby chipmunk under a plant last year. I looked to see what she was so fixed on and the poor thing was hiding under a plant just panting away.
