A general forum for the discussion of hunting with beagles, guns, clothing and other equipment and just talking dawgs! (Tall tales on hunting allowed, but remember, first liar doesn't stand a chance)
Well after a couple years of watching the Greenbay line we are finally getting our chance to own a really good cross from the line. Fc Greenbay Butkus X NLPC Hunt-Em-Up Magnum Suzie cross. We are going to pick up a lightly started male saturday morning that only needs time and tracks and hopefully turns into a great hound for us to gun over and do a few trials with. I will post pictures saturday when we get him

Well here he is after a long trip. Might see what he can do tomorrow morning if the wind isnt blowing 40mph again. We will make him rabbit crazy in no time
I have had him out all 9 days I have had him. I have put about 50 hours on him thus far and he still does absolutley nothing beyond a site chase. I have soloed him,braced him,and packed him and still NOTHING!. I was told this dog WOULD run with other dogs but wasnt very good yet, but was not told that he wont go more then 20 yards from me with his head held up never even looking for a rabbit or scent. The dog was only $150 and 3 1/2 hr drive but price and distance were never my first concerns as you guys know from talking to me. Its my own fault for not watching the dog run and went against my better judgment and will never buy another dog before watching it run or the parents run if its a pup. This is exactly why I stopped buying dogs and went to my own line breeding, This dog should have been evaluated before selling him as a started dog or even saying he would run with other dogs. Honestly if I wanted a unstarted dog I would not have bought one that is 1yr 7m old, I would have bought one at 8 weeks and started it myself.
