The American Beagler Forum

Budd hit on the head. Speed is the most overrated thing in beagling . Give me nose any day. Nose is the hardest thing to get and reproduce. Without nose you are not running in winter up here. Speed is a no issue, it's like saying you want a women that makes love fast. Who cares how fast she gets it ...

Same here, Maryann at Buckeye. Great person, on time always did a great job for me....dh

From what I was told. No one had access to the administrative portion of the site but Carl. When Carl died the pass words and access to his site died with him. No one can even get into it. So your out your 10 bucks. It's unfortunate but I'm sure Carl being only 47 years old thought he was going to p...

Tree man I have a litter coming out of my two favorite dogs. They are AKC registered FC bloodlines. I've been on this board for a while and you can ask around. I think I'm as straight a shooter as you can find. If I have enough pups I'll give you one. All you have to do is cover the shots and regist...

Tree man, That is the craziest thing I've ever heard. You got taken period!! Has nothing to do with the kennel. Everyone of my dogs has been raised in a kennel. Never had a shy one. It's either genetics, lack of interaction or abuse. When out to buy a dog research the seller more so then the blood l...

Robert, judging by the pedigree those are fairly conservative hounds. In no way should they be real hard hitting, rough and reaching out kind of hounds. My bet is that you are running in really conservative trials, in central, south or western PA. Where most judges want a REAL conservative dog that ...

Robert, What is the breeding of your dog? Sometimes when you run them solo for too long they get even more competitive when you put them back in the pack. They get too used to having the line and the rabbit to themselves and dont want to share it. I would run her solo once or twice and then run her ...

No offense Joe but you can't base your entire opinion on hounds just based on the 3 hounds you have that can run both......dh. Venture out a bit. Go too some clubs all over the state, up north and a bit south and then tell me there is no difference. I've watched some nice hare runs at some if the tr...

Shady grove, I agree. BCbeagles I agree somewhat with you but I think what I'm referring too is extremes of both kinds of hounds. Northern blood lines that are a ten on speed with a 30 yard check area and a souther cottontail hound that is a 3 or maybe 4 on speed. I have run the gamit I have had the...

Thanks shady grove. I figure call them what ever you want. But when we call them hare or cottontail dogs, we are just describing a dog. A fast hard hitting looser on the line and check is better suited to run hare and a tighter slower dog that can twist and turn will run a cottontail better. As far ...

We are on the border here in NY. Southern New York on the border of PA and south into PA we have only have cottontails further up in NY we have hare. people in different regions will breed for what they need so in the extreme north hounds man have breed hounds to run faster and stay closer to the Ha...

Nice running. Like others said , one or two dogs were doing most of the work. The rest need to be run with out the lead dogs do that they can get more running. But they may just be young dogs. The squall mouth dog looked good though.... Good running to you.....dh

Dog is sold pending pick up. Thanks for all the calls.

Never knew you wrestled Mike. I thought you told me you played tennis and Chess...! Ah just kidding. Will go on and vote for sonny..Good luck to him......Andre
