    Is there a type of dog that would hunt squirrels, coons, rabbits, and pheasents?

    I don't know too much about dogs but the shows that I have seen where they were hunting squirrels with dogs, they used mainly Blue Tick hounds and various other hounds along with Beagles.

    Beagles are good for hunting rabbits

    Beagles will work for everything except possibly squirrels Heck, they might do a decent job on them, I never tried them on that. They are a smart dog, and you usually train them for 1 type.

    Got to thinking last night as I was reading an article in Wild Ohio, if you're going to hunt coons with a dog, don't you need them to bark treed?

    In that case, I'd go with the beagle. I've seen beagles hunt pheasants pretty good. Don't think they'd be much on retrieving or waterfowl though.
