The American Beagler Forum

my first beagle was a Branko/ Gay bred hound. He was a high medium speed dog, good mouth and ran really good on snow. He was a grade dog so I never knew really what he was out of but the guy I received him from had both parents and lost all dogs in a divorse, so thats how I know his blood. I really ...

I believe they are in northern ohio

Everyone has some good ideas for some new rules. I am still stuck on the check rule. Now lets think about this a second. We have a cast of dogs thats running a rabbit . Dog A,B,C,D and E. The dogs come to the first check.Dog A grabs the check in 8 seconds. Next check dog B grabs the check in 8 secon...

Shorten the check time. Take it from 15 sec to 10 seconds. This will allow the better dog(s) to score points. Really its a check dogs game in L.P, not speed,line control, etc. It really takes a good check dog and i have seen a lot of good dogs get beat that was clearly the better dog. Just my 2 cent...

Chris, I was a BIG Diamond man. I was the Ohio State hunt and a dealer was there. He wanted me to try a sample. I would not give him the time or day. My buddy did. Setting around the camp and I picked up the bag and checked out the ingredients. It was the exact same as the Diamond. Ifed my dogs a sa...

I have always heard that if you lay your hunting jacket or something with your sent on it, the dog will come back to that spot of last seen and stay close to that jacket. You may want to try this if you can. I hope this helps you.Good Luck, I hope you find him. Chad

Sorry to hear about Boat Matt :cry: I have a Heli Prop female I was thinking about breeding to Boat but let her pass through her cycle and now Boats gone and now I know I will regret it. Never seen him run but heard nothing but GREAT things about him and his records shows the kind of hound he was an...

I have a male direcly out of Branko's Ali Baba and Branko's Rhapsody in Blue and another male thats a ARHA Champion thats directly out of FC Birch Lake Drummer. Let me Know. Thanks, Chad

By all rights, a handler or on looker should let judges know the time the rabbit is jumped that the rabbit was jumped by them and not the dogs. This goes back to honesty! At that time the judge should allow all handlers to get dogs on track and score from first check.But if the judge does not know t...

Thanks guys (chris,randy jack and j.c) for your input and info. Chris, I feel the same way about the post and it causing conflict. Branko has produced alot of nice hounds and Ali-Baba was one of MANY. I am not a big beagle breeder. I am your average beagler who has 3 dogs and I never breed unless fo...

I saw a poll on here asking about the " Best "Branko dog :roll: . Only one person said Ali Baba. The reason I am asking this question is because I recently purchased a dog directly out of Ali Baba. He is a 15" male and is a litter mate to FC Branko's Hunkleberry Hound. I need your thoughts ( good or...

I run my 3 dogs and usually run with buddys and we usually run a total of 5-6 dogs at a time. I feel you put to many down, the rear dogs smell nothing but the front dogs rear and do what I call "me too" barking. Now doing this every once in a great while would probably make a dog really fight for th...

Sorry to hear Randy Hope you was able to get some pups from him before he left you. If you did, let his pups shine for you and there Dad !

I feed High Standard. I was a BIG Diamond freak. Nothing but Diamond! I was at a trial and the guy selling the High Standard told me to read the bag. It was the exact same as Diamond. My dogs really like it,look good and not alot of waste. My friend started selling it our dogs liked it so well. A 50...
