The term Feist Dog originates from the rural regions of the southern United States and refers to small, mixed-breed hunting dogs. We use that term at the nursery for any Sarracenia with unknown parentage, particularly those from open-field pollination. Many fine specimens that we have offered over the years have come from this sort of random pollination. Because they were first grown from seed, each one is a unique specimen. Each Feist Dog Sarracenia has a personality unique to its own!
