The American Beagler Forum

I don't know if you could consider them "naturally straight" but I've owned several that never ran any off game. I can recall several dogs that ran off game one time and I was able to shock and stop them that first time and they never offered to run off game again. I'm a firm believer of when you s...

Im not sure if this is possible with the beagles but I go to a free website to look up Labrador pedigree's. Even shows health clearances.

Budd and Norwester1 I have watched plenty of your videos of your hounds running on snow and have always appreciated their ability. You both have a ton more experience running on snow than I ever have or will. I haven't run on deep snow in 26 years since moving south. My description of what I prefer...

For me a beagle ought to be up on legs, deep chested - not wide chested. They should be somewhat long bodied as opposed to short coupled. A short coupled dog has to run that much more. A beagle is a running hound and should have the appearance of athleticism and the physicality to run all day. Bott...

I must have 200 hare hunting video's on youtube. Not much shooting but a lot of hare and beagle action. https://www.youtube.com/user/buddenny/videos Norwester has some good one's. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCx55rPixwlGh8MmG2Xx5OoQ HAREHOUND also has some very good one's. https://www.youtube.co...

Anyone have a pro 70 or 550 for sale?

I ran Hunter on hare for a whole season, just lacked a little foot I thought, but at the time I was still trying to run FAST hounds. I would say on hare he had above average nose but not huge. Seen him go a few times down south on cottontail as well, I thought he done well. If anyone wants video of ...

Is it because of the time of year where scenting conditions are at their peak, your dogs are having less checks thus putting more pressure on the rabbit. Do you currently have the best dogs you have ever owned and they are hitting their prime?

Nope, sure cant but knowing Steve in 3 generations there were probably only 4 dogs...LOL. He was a die hard close inbred breeder.

Would have really enjoyed watching that Penny dog run. You don't have any videos of her in your archives? Found one, its a old clip with a not so good camera. I remember this day, was in the -20's with DEEP snow, in first clip my son shot his first ever hare. Second clip we put her on a 20 minute o...

A good dog may not always look good no matter what, but a great one would IMO and I think that is what a few off us want. Would have really enjoyed watching that Penny dog run. You don't have any videos of her in your archives? Stubborn old beagle with only one thing on his mind getting that rabbit...

For sake of discussion. Should a good dog always look good no matter what it is ran with? I'm guessing a good dog will stand out when ran in a brace, but what happens when he is thrown into a pack of 4 or more with a couple of them being disruptive? Myself I think a good dog SHOULD look good no matt...
