anyone tried to cross a beagle with a coonhound (bluetic or walker) with any luck thinking about giving it a shot any help would be great just a pleasure hunter of cottontail and hare and i hunt in verry deep powder alot thought about this cross due to the fact that i see better noises on todays coonhounds than beagles.

Maybe you should look into getting a harrier? Taller than a beagle, loud mouth, and none of the difficulty you'd have in training a beagle/coondog cross. Both have been bred for a very long time to hunt very different game, in very different ways. You'd get a very inconsistant litter. First rule of breeding is never breed opposites!!!

I don't think you should try something like this because I dont think it will help you to get a good rabbit dog.

I have done it for deer hunting and has worked out great. They are a little bigger in the leggs and have a great nose. I would say they are about 17 to 18 in.
