The American Beagler Forum

Shady, that is EXACTLY what I was thinking but wanted to ask the question to see what people thought. I was thinking that if a dog is supposedly good enough to trial in a specific format it should be good enough to run it's speed and style regardless of the company it is with. If it is a peanut roll...

WOW, shocking off of a RABBIT! That also brings more questions to my mind. Were your fast dogs making them to fast or were their slower dogs making yours slower for what either liked?

There are a few people on this cite that I have and will always think are E.F. Huttons of the time. They are of the same age as I am but have spent more time in all aspects of rabbit hunting than I have as a sport hunter. I have never competition hunted beagles Although I have been to a couple just ...

When I was a kid my dad and uncle bought a dog together called Whitey. A friend of my dad gave him a very young male dog called Jack because he had nothing to run him with. Whitey was the best dog my Dad said he ever saw and I hunted with him for years as well as our entire clan of relatives that hu...

What a crock that people can take control of an animal they do not own without having to go through some legal process to find the actual owner within a reasonable time frame. I wonder what would transpire if a farmer had a prize winning cow, bull, horse, sheep, pig or rooster just happen to get out...

Got my hound back, collar missing and scheduled for spay and adoption all within a week...

Was this in your neck of the woods?

I opened the FB page and got nothing other than the name of the administrator so thought I had to join the group BUT that is still pending. Is this still a viable group?

Sure would love to see some pics of that little runt D.R.

The truth is how good a dog is, is in the eye of the beholder. No way would I ever pay BIG money for a dog that I had not seen run and really I have never seen a beagle I'd pay $1000.00 for. That is just me as I really have not seen too many big priced beagles that were priced according to their abi...

I have used everything from carpet to straw, hay, cedar and pine chips. They ALL seem to get wet and in the winter they ALL freeze after they get wet. I now use nothing and make sure the plastic barrel dog houses have door flaps to keep out the wind. Never had a problem with this in years even when ...

The ticks are lousy here too but the chiggers have eaten me alive. Can't even seem to mow the lawn without getting loaded with them much less what is out in the weeds and woods. I wonder if chiggers bite the dogs as they do me? If so they have to be eaten alive as they are right in where the chigger...

Where can we see pic and pedigree?

Shady, I guess you gathered that my story was back when the tracking and shocking equipment was a gleam in our eyes. I do remember finally getting my first tracking outfit which was a used quick-track but that big ole blue-tick was gone by then. Never really had any beagles that I needed such equipm...

I will say Shady Grove that I have experienced many of those times like you describe when I coon hunted. Not so awful much with my beagles. I had one big Northern Blue bred Bluettick that was one of those type that when you cut him loose you lifted up his tail and kissed his back side good-bye as he...

I have been involved in this BIG debate about grains in dog food several times and it seems that there may be something to what I have been saying for quite some time. I also believe that very high protein percentages are a culprit to animal health as well. If left to nature as the article states an...
