The American Beagler Forum

if you guys had the oppertunity to have a beagle of different bloodlines which one would ya take a northway or a dingus now think a lil before ya answer my question a guy that i run with asked me to get him some opinions from this web site thanks in advance for your replys jb

either one would be a good choice it would depend on how close you were getting Dingus Macrae. If it were close this would be a good choice not much out there though. Have more to choose from with Northway, Lynn Perkins, Dexter Reffett, and Paul Kormany all have nice Northwayh bred hounds.

both are good blood lines I guess it would depend on which northway dog it was I like the Spur Stuff it would also depend on how close Dingus Macre was in the pedegree or how many times it was in their if it was pups I was buying I would watch the sire and dam run from each litter and pick that way if it was running dogs run them and pick the one that suits you the best from my experiances with each of the blood lines the northway hunts harded but the Dingus runs a better track with more control. this may not be true in all of them but it is what I have seen.

dont know much about the dingus stuff but the northway line has made its mark for sure,if it is northway,it will find you a rabbit,hard hunting line.

Dingus Blood via Perry's Peete! Good stuff!

There aint many Dingus dogs out there, unless you consider 2 crosses in 6 generations is a Dingus dog.

Hills Shakerag Kennel has the Most Line bred stuff I know of.

Chris Spall, Tim Croley,Frenchman,and Wayne Gross have quite a bit of Dingus blood.

You will be hard pressed to find a young dog with more than 2 crosses of Dingus McCrae in a 5 generation pedigree.
