The American Beagler Forum

I thought as a service to people who are new to the Beagling trade we should list some of the terminology as used in the Beagling trade, and list what it means. please hark in!
1,Super fast chop mouth/ mouthy.
2,Average hunt/ Be careful not to step on him
3,Not Shy/ Shy
4, Hasn't been run much./ Seen all I needed to see.
5, Big Nose./ Below average nose
6, Don't know a lot about him/ Disclaimer
7, Good pack dog/ Can't circle one on his own
8,Don't fight for the front/ Very slow
9, I only run 13", This is one of my favorites. This guy wouldn't want a 15" Field Champion on the place!.

bird dog hunt.... next time you see him he will be 200 yards away
good check dog... causes a lot of checks

got to give the new guuys this one $hit eater

GW,

Have you been out at the kennel evaluating your pack again?

BradWV, Just about had it with them. The people I bought them from used everyone of the terms I listed to describe them. Just got three of them back after Friday's hunt and they killed 7 of the wife's chickens. wife is mad as hell, you still want that open marked male, Big Nosed dog!

No thanks on the big nosed dog, already have a couple. Now for the chicken killers, will they kill em at the neighbors and retrieve back to the house? If so, I may take one of those. Nothing like fresh yard chicken!

Don t buy a dog from the mans running ground.They look real good were they know there rabbits.

Brood gyp /////cant or wont run a rabbit
green started ////// doesn't have a clue
good track dog //waits for other dogs to jump

I'm sure he will finish ///// doesn't have a chance

Natural broke, wont run anything but a rabbit ////// place mirror in front of nose and see if he is breathing

To fast for my pack //// over runs the track and is a check maker

Was shocked off deer and hasn't run one since ///// hasn't been off the chain since then either

Been in the business a while

Dave Swiger, You think that is bad, ( and it is) before I knew as much as I do now, I had a dog trader foist a " Good Brood Male" off on me. I never had any dealings with him after that.

I bought this one.
Not started, nine months old, litter mate started and I liked her so much that I decided to sell this one and spend my time on the one that is started. Brought her home, put her in her kennel, when one of my other dogs barked she ran the fence trying to hark to them. That was my first clue. Once she was in the field I learned she had no nose at all, strictly a pack dog.

The ones I see the most:

6 month - 18 month dogs..."haven't had time to start" / tried everything possible and the dog just won't run a rabbit

Dog hunted over hard all season/ dog hasn't been out of the kennel in months...that's why it's nails are an inch long (a word of advise- if your going to claim you've been hunting your dog hard...at least trim it's nails before you take the picture to put in the post)

Trash broke/ A fine deer dog prospect

Handles Great / Dog probably don't know it's name, but won't leave your feet

Yep, heard everyone and think I have owned one of each

never had him run trash= aint had him long enuff to find out or your opinion of trash is different than mine!!!!

lightly started= dont know a thing!!!

after a long hard decision= i hope i can pawn this crapeater off on someone!!!

free= junk

pops off a lil on a frosty morning= barks when he hits the ground off the tailgate!!!

loves the brush = you couldnt get him in a thicket to save your life!!!

hunts close= stepping on him everytime you move!!!

and my personal favorite

has lots of potential= ive done ever thing im capable of but maybe you have better luck than me!!!

I can't believe this! I always thought these guys were selling their best dogs.

They are...........if you ask them anyway!!
