I was just at the Indy Sport and Boat show and was very discouraged! Where are the Beagle booths??? We should have reps from American Beagler, Small Pack Option, Hounds and Hunting, Rabbit Hunter, ARHA, AKC Beagles, UKC Beagles, PKC Beagles, etc. etc. etc.... Come on guys, how are we going to grow! What about all you guys with your rabbit hunting and running videos? Maybe the cost is over your head but if so why don't you get together with a couple other groups. Come on, get moving!!! This is where it starts for many young kids and families. What do you all think?

The American Beagler was at the Eliminator supporting the trial and Ralph and Bev were campaigning their dogs, lol! Can't speak for the other magazines.

One of these days when I hit the lottery , I'll be able to pay folks to sit at those shows. For now..............We're gonna run our dogs and stay among the beagle people. Life is short - gotta soak it up!

In twenty years you'll be hanging out with yourself cause there won't be any of us left!:)

Where was YOUR booth set up? Sounds like it would have been a better place for you and some of the boys to set up an Indiana Beagler's Alliance booth. I'll bet there were more hunters there than children. Sounds like you were doing the "hanging out" today.

Don't be so quick to criticize the contributions of others until you've checked off everything on your own "To Do" List.

Sounds like just nother great reason to support http://www.youthbeaglecamp.com
Let's stop talking about and do something. An ant can do nothing on it's own, but as a colony they can move the world.
