The American Beagler Forum

Have any of you people ever seen a beagle with long hair. I recently purchased a NKC female pup from a lady who sure it was pure,but now I'm wondering if I was had! I know that pure bred don't make the dog because she does chase rabbits and that is all I do no competition.

I have seen long haired beagles before, I posted it once on RHO, and a half dozen guys said they too had seen them, believe they can out of the old English packs........

Does the beagle smoke marijuana and wear tie-dyed tee shirts and a hippie helmet too??

Darrin only a man of your profession would think of this ,,, Have to say I had an old friend that owned one long haired beagle, it sure did heat up fast ,had to run it in cold weather.......

how long of hair are ya talkin bout?...some of the hare bred dogs have longer than normal hair ....i got three with longer hair

This hounds hair is almost like a setter type hair. Long drooping hair off tail and legs, real thick mane. Thanks for all your responses. I guess it does matter what the look like as long as they run rabbits.

No Yellowdog, they look more like a Collies type hair, your dog looks winter ready to me........

i was just trying to clarify what we meant by long hair...my dogs get longer hair every winter ...i have never seen a beagle wih collie type hair...anybody got a pic?

How long of hair does the Beagle have?

I've got a year old male AKC registered that has hair about 2- 2 1/2" long but straight and a 2 year old Female that probably doesn't have hair over 1/2" long.

I guess my question is what length of hair should a beagle have by the breed standards?

Yellowdog, I would say that pic of yours might be some sort of coonhound...........
