Are you Addicted ?
My wife says I'm addicted to beagles. I have to agree. But why ? Why do you have beagles ? Is it just a hobby? Is it that they are just a hunting tool ? Is it the competition ? Is it meeting new people and the companionship ? For me it's a lot of the above. It's my get away from the every day busy life.
Re: Are you Addicted ?
Am I addicted I would say no. I do own a beagle pup but have not tooken possession of her yet, will do that Saturday. But I am excited about getting a beagle. I am going to go slow and see if I can get her started and hunting rabbits and if successful then I might get addicted.

Re: Are you Addicted ?
I've been around beagles since i was a little boy and is more a way of life than anything. I am addicted to running em and listening to em, im addicted to killin bunnies, im addicted to spending time around the yard workin with em, im addicted to researching and looking up pedigrees. My wife and kids say im addicted, but all i can say is its how i'm bred. Learned it from dad and grandpa, hopefully i will pass that gene on down the line. I am olso a junkie for killin deer, but its better than what other guys my age may be addicted to.

Re: Are you Addicted ?
I own beagles for a lot of the same reasons Gabby mentioned. I've met some great people running beagles, both hunting, trialing, and just for fun. I love the beagle music! I also enjoy the challenge of making a dog all he can be.

Re: Are you Addicted ?
To me its just a part of life, I like hearing a hound run be it a beagle or coon dog. I just like hounds, I always have. I use to bird hunt with my father. Never ran with dogs till I was a teen and a friends uncle had some. I am just now getting in to the trials, its fun meeting other people and seeing other dogs run and where your dogs stack up.

Re: Are you Addicted ?
I absolutely agree. It's part of my life. I have met and become friends with quite a few people all because of these little hounds.

Re: Are you Addicted ?
I like working with pups. Putting in the time to get one started, and then running. It's real rewarding. I plan on doing some breeding in about two years if my pups turn out good. I like gun hunting more then trailing, but want to do a bit of trailing too. First thing is meat in the freezer. Second thing is trailing. Biggest thing is gun hunting with my buddies and having a good time. Only way to have a good time is kill plenty of rabbits lol
