There are alot of beautiful hounds on this post. Congrats to everyone!

Thought grooming consisted of brushing, LOL. They sure do look nice being trimmed up, sleek looking. I am scared to try it!

hate to have a bald beagle! LOL! This guy is 27 lbs of puppy, kind of reminds me of Odie on Garfield.

Lyn, You should bring him down to see me sometime and I will show you some easy grooming tricks...it really does make a huge difference in their appearance. Won't hurt his hunting any either.

There is an excellent DVD out titled Show & Tell 101 on grooming Beagles produced by the field and show fellows from Sundown kennels (Donny McVay, Dave McVay & Hal Davis)....on the DVD they also discuss a stacking, gaiting & general Beagle care.

You can also learn more about grooming here (for FREE):

The grooming is most fascinating. Be sure to take before and after pictures if you decide to groom your pup. I learned on my youngest beagle and practice on the older ones. The clippers take some getting used to but if you don't rush, use good thinning scissors to fix the hack marks from the clippers, all turns out in the end. A clean lined beagle with SHORT nails is an amazing sight. BTW, I field trialed LPH and showed my last dog at the same time. She was a dud at both but we had fun and learned a whole lot! Now she has moved on to agility after recovering from rabies vaccine reaction (2.5 years of illness).

Well I just might take you up on your offer Honey. But I dont think you know what we will be getting ourselves into

I think he has beagle ADHD. I think before and after pics would be great too. Right now I am getting ready to be Kentucky bound again. I will get ahold of you when I get back. Thanks for the offer

I appreciate all the help I can get..LOL.

Sorry to hear about your hound Show Dog. But am glad that she is recovering. Its good to hear.

Thanks to the judges and Bev for makeing these informal competitions possible. My kids love to look at everyone's hounds and I have enjoyed all of this immensely. Also congrats to my man Perkins for his 3rd place finish. By the way, judges, Lynn won't blow his own horn (at least online, live is another story) so I will. His female has it all, hunt, temperament, and anything else you would want in a hound. Best wishes to all

I will second that TC what a fine looking bunch of dogs on here .In all the contest not an ugly one in the bunch .Thanks to all the Judges for being able to pick some winners it must have been a hard task. Cind Ole Shorty does not mind being second to a good looking female, he was a little upset when I first told him he had lost until I told him it was to one good looking lady,You should have saw that smile when I showed him the picture.If that female was here he would let her go first any time. He is a true gentleman ole school.
