The American Beagler Forum

I talked to a couple beagle clubs out west and asked about running trials and how to get started etc... I was told that my dogs would be too fast and would not be able to run with their brace dogs. I don't know how all of this works aas I am new to beagling but I thought field trials were to evaluate hunting skill etc.. why wouldn't I be able to run with them?? I can't find any club that doesn't do brace style trials.

I reckon we are talking about walking talking beagles.But anyway these guy problem donot rabbit hunt.I went to a trial one time and watch these dogs and was amaze of how slow they were and i look around and seen mostly old people with these dogs.These guys used to rabbit hunt but are not able to now.Just understand they still want to see hound work and they just don t want to see a fast dog to come in and mess up things.It nothing againts you or your dogs.This is why this sport is so amazying there is so many different speed of dogs.

I'm glad that there is something out there for everyone and I don't believe I have extremely fast dogs. I am just frustrated that there is nowhere for me to run in washington or oregon

I beleive TC can heip you.I beleive he stay there.How about it TC help this guy out.
