I have a patch hound that has some wheels under her.

I will discipline my pups for a running a backtrack, but make sure it is a backtrack first. Sometimes a rabbit will squat and pups will over run it, come back and the rabbit runs back the same ways he came and the pups run that direction. Common rabbit trick to fool pups. Make sure it is a back tra...

My grandpa, Elwood (Red) Reaume. He bred and raised some good ones here in Michigan in the 90's. He died when I was in highschool and I never had the opportunity to talk beagles with him.

Sorry to hear that Chuck.

Nice! I like how all the dogs look like they're smiling.

I have one female patch hound. She is a little over a year old. If you're looking for a smooth, line control type of hound, then I wouldn't go with a patch. My patch is a fast 'head up' wind scenting type of dog. She will swing, skirt, cheat and do anything she can to outsmart a rabbit. She will not...

I also like gun dog supply because they ship so quickly.

I only now just have a dog that I think could compete in akc Midwest. I've have yet to attend a Midwest trial, but when I was looking up clubs in Michigan I noticed there were only a couple. I wish there were more that we're a reasonable distance.

I don't think you have anything to worry about. Just keep doing what you're doing and getting her out in the field and one day soon she'll just open right up. I think that is one of the most rewarding aspects of Beagling. When you hear a pup barking on track for the first time.

I have a seven month old pup that I started with an older, very controlled dog. Eventually, I added a couple of dogs to the pack, and she seems to run well with others. I've just started to solo her every couple of times out. Seems to be working for this pup. I also had a pup that I only soloed unti...

Wow!!! I got chills reading this!!!! Love this story!

Looks great! Love the story about Lucky.

I believe singing patches is out of Nichol's Hammer'en Hank Patch x Axes Springstreet Molly.
