The American Beagler Forum

We took out 3 dogs this evening. We were hunting on a power line. They jumped a rabbit and was just burning it up. They ran it in one circle then they started on the 2nd circle. Half way through my dog started coming towards us while the other dogs kept going. All 3 hounds were barking. I was wondering what in the world she was doing. Then she took off running around in circles howling just 2 or 3 times like she howls in her pen. She had her tail tucked like something was hurting her or something. She took off down the hollow. We looked for her until dark and went home and found out that the neighbor found her. She was about a half a mile away from where we seen her last. What could have happened?

probably a siezure or some kind of fit. Seen it happen before......never did find the dog

I have seen it in a few Young Hounds that get stressed out,and I had one that would do it about once a month,and carried Him to the Vet,and the Vet Put Him on some pills,and told me that His blood cells where out of Balance,and the Pills worked,and so far so good.

Yellowjackets nest in the ground...
Check her for sting welps...

I've heard two senarios like this before. Both hunters think the power lines triggered their dog's shock collar.

dark i was thinking the same thing,,,,,,,monday morning i was running beagles around the power lines,,,,,,i had one collar with me for a young dog in case of deer,,,,,he has never ran any but who knows, i never put the collar on him just threw it in my vest pocket, while under the lines the collar was humming in my pocket,,,,,,,,,not saying this is what happened but i do know on some of the older tri tronics like the judge, cb's will set them off when you key the mic,,,,,,,but id check for whelps and swelled places,,,,,,,

Any particular brand that does this?

if your talking to me tony,,,,,,,,,,,i have a dogtra model 200,,,,,,mine was not to shocking point but was just buzzing,,,,,,,,

Well I know it wasn't yellow jackets or hornets. I looked her over real good and there was no swelling at all anywhere.

Is She a young Hound,If She is She will grow out of it.

I owned A single dog unit brand name Beagler it was an older style unit that was actavated by passing c.b. radios that was in use. Seen it happen more then once.

She is 2 years old. Can she still grow out of it. I use a Classic 70 G2.

Yes,and if it continues to happen,I would carry Her to the Vet,and have a blood test done,I do not think it was Your shock Collars,IMO
