I once, with a friend, went on about a three hour trip to the middle of NC. A well known beagler had some "started" year old females for sale, $300.00 each. I was interested because they were similar bloodlines as mine.
We drove up and a young man came out with a note book and the first thing he said, "I guess you want to see the pedigrees. I said, I want to see them in the field. He replied, the dogs belong to my Dad and he is seventeen miles from here. I said,OK lets go. Then he said, I'll tell you, there are few rabbits in this area, the hawks and yotes have about cleaned them out.
When we got to his Dad's place and turned them out, the dogs acted like they had never been in the field. All they did was follow us, never attempted to hunt, and had no idea the meaning of voice commands. Then he turned loose an old Dingus McRae male that immediately jumped a rabbit and proceeded to circle it. The pups paid no attention and continued with their wandering.
The seller then said, I've never been so embarrassed. I had no idea Dad's pups were like this.
