I was looking at some hounds that a guy has in Illinois. (Johnstons Beagle Farm). Does anybody know anything about him? I would like some feed back on him, before I buy. Thanks!!!!

The man is a Dog Trader, he buys and sells dogs for profit. That being said he also has a running enclosure to view the dogs and he has a place outside of the pen to run also.He has sold some junk and he has sold some top caliber dogs. I just ran with 2 dogs he sent to Virginia and they were both good gundogs like he said they would be, not trial quality but they would both jump and run a rabbit with no help, only too pricey for my taste with shipping cost incurred but generally you get close to what he lists but go see the dogs for yourself is always the best option.. His speed versions are diferent than what we call dogs. What he calls fast is a bump above medium and his med fast is plain medium by AKC SPO. No Hare bred dogs or nothing Mid West speed or NEGBF or the Eastern PGBA stuff but UBGF or Western PA,WV or some Carolinias his dogs may fit..I have seen a bunch of his dogs through the years from freinds who bought them and most were good to decent...

Glenn would rather you come and watch them run first. He's retired and the dogs are his full time job. He runs them every day.

I have bought two dogs from him and they were exactly as he described them to be. My cousin and went down there and he fixed us up with what we told him we were looking for to try. He had three dogs for us to try. He has access to several hundred acres and he took us to a spot, gave us a blank pistol and went with us until we got them going. He then said come on back when your done trying them with your decission. We returned and I had picked out two to buy and he said you sure did make the right picks. These two both were nice rabbit dogs and the male was super.

dolly, i would def. go see for yourself! i spoke to the man once inquiring about a dog he had listed on the net. i came away will the impression that he has to many over there to even know which dog your asking him about. he will tell you their all med or med plus speed as they probably are by ubgf spo standards.also, all are listed in his ads the same way? the price is a bit too high, you'll be paying for the breeding not the dog if you know what i mean.if you like a hotter dog, your looking in the wrong place.
