Silver Zuk. Neither one of those hounds are very good examples of the breed. I would not breed them, own them or basically have anything to do with either one of them. They are certainly NOT min Fxhds. Here is a nice pack bitch that won the top spot at the All Ireland Beagle show. Hopefully you can ...

Silver Zuk I like a heavy built hound I really liked the build of the blue tick beagle I posted in the early pages of this thread). He had a blocky hound head, and a solid build. His head wasn't ideal breed conformation, but I prefer his look over the breed standard because to me it is more a typic...

Some very good points Black & Tan Teckels. I would disagree with your thoughts that there has been some moderation in the show lines. Appears to me that they are even more "clodie" than they were a few years back. Not a one of them from any showring in the world (pack hound shows excepted) come even...

Kodiac, OK. Just one more observation. Looking at the pic of the male and female, I see the female has some tan hair mixed in with her chocolate blanket. (Notice the male does not appear to have any in his chocolate colored areas. Just back of the withers is the most common location for this to be s...

Ticking is Dominant so all the pups will have ticking. The only unknown is "how much?". If the pic is the male you plan on using he is definitely a chocolate ticked hound. Notice the red reflection in the eyes. From a conformation point of view I like your bitch better than the male. The offspring s...

Thanks Buffert, Another quick point about all hounds that are bb (chocolate/tn/wh), bbdd (lilac/tan/wh) or the bi-color variations (no extended primary or blanket color) thus bbDDee or bbddee. If you look at the eyes of the chocolate/tn/wh hound in the pictures in the posts by Kodiac you will see th...

Kodiac, If the male you plan on using is a true red tick then he will have the liver or eraser colored nose and bit lighter colored eye (compared to a black/tn/wh) hound, just as your bitch does. Sense both the sire and dam will be chocolates (often called liver, red, Auburn Reds, Warfield Reds, etc...

The pictures (drawings) posted earlier by thornie that Hal Davis or Bruce Smith gave out at a seminar can also be found (along with many more) at Bruce Smith's web page. http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Meadows/1729/beagle.html The pictures were published in a book on beagles printed in the early ...

A very nice hound Bev. Like to see a bit more slope to pasterns. Also less flews would be nice. Like the amount of leg to amount of body. Nicely coupled and like the loin arch, tailset etc. Pelvic angle looks good also. Nice hound. He looks like he would be a high 80's to 90 type hound. Certainly go...

Oh Dan!! didn't ya know! I can't do that cuz I don't know nuthin bout structure of no beagle hounds.. maybe you should enlighten me! Then how can you be a breeder if you are unabkle to objectively evaluate a hound? Are you totally dependent onthewhims and fads of the ring to determine your future? I...

Leah, the pic you posted of the bitch. What is correct on her and what is wrong? Compared to Standard, how many points? 70, 75, 80, 85? What is she?

Posted: Sat Nov 03, 2007 10:22 am Post subject: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Leah posted. AKC should have a rule in place that prohibits any dog or bitch from attaining a championship solely by winning BOW over the other sex. That does not make sen...

Enjoyed looking at the very light tan/wh hounds and also the white one. Her genetics is obviously the extreme end of piebald spoting pattern. Extreme, no spots. The black nose and dark brown eye indicate she is probably BB/DD/ee and is at the extreme end of the piebald spotting scale.(ee supresses t...

Here are a couple pics of 13 inch AKC Show Ring Champions. http://www.hunt101.com/img/349479.jpg This one was registered as a blue/tn/wh. (His dam was same color and also a Ch.) Genetics He is Lilac/tan/white. (Lilac is the same color as Weimariners. All Weims are bb/dd) His color genes are bb/dd/EE...

A visit to the AKC web site and taking a look at the Special Registry section should answer most questions. A quick e-mail to them will also get you the info you need. There was or probably still is a list of registries that AKC will accept pedigrees from for purposes of registering. The AKC does re...
