The American Beagler Forum

What this thread really needs is a few posts about whether there's really a God or not.

Maybe a few bashing capitalism and apple pie.

Then it'll really get going!

how is this on page nine? When posted yesterday it was at 6???

I'm afraid there isn't a lot of scientific work being done on improving the field performance of beagles. That doesn't mean that it can't be done successfully, it's just not exactly an area of high interest. There is certainly proof that there is work being done on genetically modified beagles, howe...

A lot of factures determin speed longspine,legs,lungs,heart,ext But where is the gene more dominate Exactly, and there are likely MANY genes responsible for controlling each of those traits. It's not often that major features are the result of a single gene (which is only coding for one protein- un...

Rabbit season opens tomorrow here in Wisconsin. North of highway 10 it's been open since the middle of September, but now I can finally start hitting the areas close to home. It's a bit strange because outside of a couple favorite spots, I've always found more rabbits in the southern part of the sta...

A speed gene???? lol And as I explain below, males are completely capable of passing on the exact same genes that females pass on. Any gene a female is capable of passing down, the male is as well. Males have the unique capability of passing down Y chromosomes, which females cannot (duh!) so if anyt...

While that's interesting, but it doesn't do anything to suggest that speed is only passed down by females. To quote: "Today, Eclipse’s mighty heart is passed through a number of sires." (it doesn't say so explicitly, but only to their daughters, of course) Let's pretend that in dogs- animals whose s...

What do you use to treat diarrhea in a puppy? My first thought is Loperamide, but in baby humans at least, due to the incomplete development of the blood brain barrier, it produces central opioid effects with notable toxicity and probably neurotoxicity. It's funny, because once your blood brain barr...

I believe speed is carried on the mother's side fastbitchs produced fast pups medium speed bitches produce medium speed pups Nah. That's not how genetics works. It's possible you have a female or females with dominant forms of whatever genes are responsible for the speed you're after, but I guarant...

it would appear that he's walking toward the camera. There's not enough detail in it to tell for certain, but looking at the planted foot, it would appear that it's pointing toward the camera.

Am I right? that's gonna bug me for a while!

sounds like someone was baiting a radio host. He wasn't funny though. Someone who really believed this, when learning that they completely misunderstood would say oh crap and hang up the phone real quick. If she had put as much effort into contacting people about the issue as she said she had, she w...

Shooting around a dog won't necessarily make it gun shy. It's kind of a grossly overstated problem. If a dog was gun shy, I would certainly want to know that before I trained it for 6 months! Introduce your pup to a rabbit. Live trap one and let the pup see it through the cage. Get the dog real exci...

What registration type are you talking about?I just went to check, and UKC says 35 bucks for 1-3 dogs on their single registration form, while the AKC fee is 30 dollars. I didn't look into litter registration fees for UKC, but AKC charges 25 + 2/pup. They seem pretty comparable. Is it worse for bree...

Probably not legal, but when I still had my hawks, I would often take them down along the railroad tracks. Excellent hunting. We'd routinely end up in people's backyards though (this was in town) and the few people we actually saw were so fascinated by it that they didn't care. I'm not sure they'd r...

I live in Wisconsin Rapids, heading out of town toward Marshfield.

today's a bust, unfortunately. rainy weather makes the kids misbehave, too

I was wondering if anyone had a contact phone number or maybe email for anyone from the Central Wisconsin Beagle Club in Wisconsin Rapids, WI. They're an AKC registered club, but it seems the AKC's website is out of date. I sent an email to the only contact they had (he was listed as the treasurer);...
