I am not sure where your location is, but if you have access to some “in city” neighbor hoods, factories, alongside railroad tracks…. This may sound strange, but in the city and in back yards, around noisy factories and train tracks…. The rabbits are not as "wild" and are easier to trap. They are al...

I would give your bitch a B-12 shot or to the Vet, we don't give bitches their "due" many times about the hard work it takes to raise pups. But, if the bitch is not able to nurse and care for the puppies, they will need to be bottle or tube fed. Bottles for puppies are available at a Tractor Supply ...

Lananbay, it depends if your shots were a “killed” or “Live” Vaccines. Live viruses like to replicate in rapidly dividing cells, they will tend to preferentially infect tissues where cells are dividing quickly. This includes the dividing cells of fetuses. “Live vaccines” have the potential to cause ...

I was told litter size is smaller with using frozen vs. traditional breeding is this true? How do you register the dogs AKC? Well that depends, there are two ways of doing it and one is more expensive than the other. There is vaginal insemination and then there is surgical deposition. They both wor...

Well, one of the reasons I was asking this is because I know breeders of other breeds, also in the "show dog" world and in Greyhounds they use this method often, and have been doing so for a while. I just have not heard of many doing it in the "hunting beagle" world. I am not sure why. Go to this li...

Well done, very nice!

I have a very good friend that swears on this stuff: http://www.zoomdog.info/hunt-dog-hunt.htm

He has bird dogs but they are very active. He is very particular with his dogs, since bird dogs can cost up to $5000.00 a pup at 8 weeks old, depending on their bloodline. Should work nice with beagles.

If you have your dog at stud for $250.00 {or whatever} , If a person is willing to pay you your stud fee and all vet costs, would you allow a person to take your male to your vet and get a breeding to freeze for the future? And how many of you would be willing to purchase this? I mean, could you ima...

Lets keep keep this one "light hearted" and have some fun with it... We have all been out with dogs when the running was bad, dogs were bad, can't find a rabbit, won't hunt etc... and there was always that "one guy" that took it personal for his dogs and thought he had to make it a point to give a "...

Depends on how good the dogs are you are breeding, they will be "extra" good or "extra" bad.

I really believe that in the combination and working together of nose and brains, nose keeps the line and some other things, but brains is what gives a dog gears among other advantages.

Dr. Chris run a male for 5 days in a row and run a female for 5 days in a row the same distance and see who is ready to go the next day! The male. Heart size has nothing to do with pure muscle strength and power. I have ran dogs almost every day for the last eight years. I missed 10 days last year....

Dr. Chris, It still takes 120 points to make an AKC FC. If you think they are easy to get just try it. If there are fewer number it really makes it tougher to finish a little male. It takes more wins and a lot more miles of travel to get it done. I own one of the best 13" females I have ever seen r...

At first thought I would say that it is a red flag. But I wouldn’t necessarily be shocked after I think about it a while. There are a lot of people that start pups at 3 months old and run them vigorously for 9 months which would bring you up to a year. Also, define “1 year”. Does that include all do...

I went on the AKC website yesterday and registered a pup. Below are the choices I had for colors. My question is this, where do these colors come from? If you take a look at the dogs from years ago..... Along the way there had to be some other breeds {besides a beagle} involved to get these colors, ...
