The American Beagler Forum

Has anyone on here ever ran a dog with three legs? The reason I ask is that on the last day of our dear season some deer hunter shot my best hound through the left elbow and I had to have the whole left front leg amputated. I know hounds adjust very well to this just wondered if you guys think she will still be able to hunt? Thanks for your responces.

seen a dog called jerry lee a hills shakerag dog .. acutally better after he hung his leg in a fence won grand champion after he got his leg hurt i am sure.

The mother to my old bird dog had 3 legs and hunted just fine. They learn quick how to get around

I hunted in a hunting club years ago a guy had a good pack, every time you seen the pack old number 3 was in the front! he had lost his back leg when a car hit him lived 2 be 12 yrs old ran tell he was 10.
don't know how your dog will do loosing his front leg. good luck

i don't have a beagle that is missing a leg but i do have a collie mix that lost one of his back leg due to being hit by a car several years ago he can still jump in the back of a pickup truck and he can still run a cat down very quickly.

when i was a teenager , my buddy's little female had a litter of pups one year in the dead of winter while he was at work , by the time he got home all but one was dead , froze to death , he took the one little female that survived into the house , she lived but had frostbite on her hind leg and her tail , he bottle feed that little girl , her one hind leg dried up and fell off at the knee , her tail fell off also , was the craziest looking little beagle i ever saw in my life , she turned out to be an outstanding rabbitdog , had no trouble keeping up with her mother , she lived to be about 10 or so before she past , the only problem we had with her was she was as mean as a snake , the only dog she would not fight with was her mother , after all she went through we just delt with her meaness

Yes and the guy trials her. She is missing the whole back leg, and she can flat out fly!!!!!. She is a PP Rch. and has won a Ch. hunt in deep snow. Her name is Chella (??Sp) owned by Gabe Ray in Mi. She is a rabbit dawg!!!!!!!

Well mine has all 4 legs but has no tongue, he adapted fast. Good luck, they never cease to amaze.

I knew a guy one time that had a dog with 3 legs. Got around just fine. His name was Tripod.

Why did the deer hunter shoot her?!?!

Probly cause he's a deer hunter,that's just their mentality,anything in the woods besides them they think screws up their hunting,stupid sob's.

im a deer hunter , i dont shoot rabbit dogs

my fathering law had one missing a front leg.he had no problems at all.greased lightning must have been from te extra weight loss.

My vet told me all dogs were born with 3 legs and a spare.

LOL! Nice one Bev.
