The American Beagler Forum

:check: I agree. Keep it clean and keep it real. No Problem. Signature pic is one of my favs. My three sons and two beagles after a great morning hunt. I have not seen anything on here that I would worry about. I like viewing all the pics of rabbits, hare, coyotes, etc that people have taken with th...

Run em all day and put em up in the dog box for the night. If I can't run em for what ever reason I put em out on a long chain a couple times a day, but I dont have that happen very often.

It may not be an old timer thing, it may just be an older person thing. I can understand why someone may wnat a slower dog as they slow down also. As far as them being elitests I saw a post on hear a while ago of a video of a brace trial that the person put up as a joke and most of the comments were...

If the dogs go quiet because the rabbit holed then the dogs should be found at the hole. Thats been my experience. Usually the dogs will get it going again unless it looses them and then leaves the country. But I dont think that is not the norm.

When I hunt or run near a road I try to be standing on it to head off rabbits and dogs. I have seen them run along the roads and during hunting season its

APFII said I feed half ration in mourning and half ration in eveening. I run them when ever the mood strikes me to take them out that day.

Me too

Glad to hear it. I was realy happy with the results from using that book. I will be getting a new pup soon also and will definately be brushing up on the training techniques. Collar training is the one thing that book does not cover but you get a training manual with your collar. If you did not you ...

Here is the book for you! http://www.amazon.com/Beagle-Training-Basics-Care-Hunting/dp/0944875335 I cant tell you how many times I have recommended this book on here when people have quesitons about training, and have not gotten any response from anyone who has bought it and read it. Please let me k...

Lepto was suggested however it is unlikely due to the time of year. Lepto lives in warm damp climates and is found in our area of MI in the spring and fall. This occured in Feb and March. However, it was tested for anyway and came back negative. I am in contact with Authority Dog Food now and will p...

Wireman, Here is a list of labs. Being in Michigan I used Great Lakes Scientific. Let them know your situation and that you want to know the arsenic level in ppb (parts per billion). It cost about $50.00, they had me send them a 4 oz sample and they had my results in about 10 days. http://www.americ...

I have always fed my dogs a food that contains rice instead of corn or other fillers thinking it was better for them due to the carbs and digestibility. After loosing both my beagles to organ failure (kidney and liver) this past winter I began researching what could have been contributing to there e...

Thanks guys, great info Rowdy, I am going to try Victor Dog Food but I never heard of American Natural Premium. I took a quick look and it looks like good stuff, I will see if I can get that around here and price it as well. Keep em coming...like to hear others ideas on this.

thanks

As some of you know I just lost my two beagles last winter and 6 and 9 years old. I am not certain why they died at what seems to be a young age to me but I have had conversations with others about feed, living conditions, running areas, and general health of dogs. I have read that beagles are expec...

I think it is more complicated then this. I think it is normal to have one alpha dog. If the others submit then there will be no conflict. Problems arise when there is a dispute over who the alpha is. I always thought that my first beagle was the alpha dog and as I added dogs they understood this. E...
