The American Beagler Forum

both of mine are grade; I would love to find out what they Really have. I wasn't aware that color and facial factors could be used to identify where they come from. Sonny has all of the indications of a Canadian line, and Ready supposedly has a line that I might get a chance to determine. Larry Coul...

It's been (forever) since I've been on this forum. I forgot that a lot of you guys on here are also on "The Hunted Hare"

Talking about camps makes me hope that maybe this year I can join in

I hate Logistics

Van, Sonny and Reddy

I've never hunted :roll: However, I've wanted a beagle for a very long time. My son hunts, and I started to go with him. He would hunt with his dog, and he kept saying that I should get a dog so that I could hunt with him. When my wifes (our's) dog died, the house was empty, and she wanted another d...

Is it the end of the leash law season there, or the start of the hunting season (hare/rabbit)? I'm pretty sure that we have to wait till the end of July for our leash law to end. We can hunt hare any time; problem is--getting into the CFL land. The blame leash law prevents us from running there unti...

Did it just stop taking a charge or is the garmin not recognizing the dog that has that collar on? A few days ago, I couldn't make the garmin recognize the collar on him. I recharged it and it still didn't work. When I hooked up the charger on the collar again the next day, it indicated that it was ...

A JUMP dog is looking for a rabbit; a STRIKE dog is looking for a track. Jump dogs do not open much at all (if any) before the rabbit is up; Strike dogs will open and work a track with mouth before the rabbit is up. That is how I define the two terms. A GOOD dog is just that (good) and both styles ...

I think that that must have been part, if not all of the reason, that Sonny performed so poorly yesterday :( He has been spectacular for the last week or so that we've been out, even when the scenting conditions were less than ideal. He had a hot line almost immedietly, but had a check within a coup...

My dog has a lot of a dirty-wax build-up, not mites (it too is nearly black). I've just gotten used to using vinager & water and the corner of a wash cloth to get in there and remove this build-up; usually I have to do it weekly. I guess it's not too much different that when we get ear wax in our ea...

I just couldn't help but add my two-cents to this thread :cool: My beagle (9 mths now) also sounds like he's being killed :bigsmile: Since I'm not able to run him consistantly, I've had to take him to a dog park that we have near us. As soon as the gate's opened, he opens up creating quite a stir am...

I've done one equal to or better--My dog's e-collar was doing its job the few times that I had to use it about a month ago (just a 'twich' to get his attention away from a line he was on :nod: ). The operative phrase is "just a 'twitch; I made the mistake of putting the control transmitter in my bac...

I have a tritronix 'flyway special xls', and (maybe it's because it's an older version) I do have the range that they claim (approx. 1-mi with straight line of sight). When under questionable situations (heavy brush and denser woods) it drops to approx 3-400 yds). I'm not sure if it's my model or wh...

I started to use a shock collar on my dog when he was 4 mth old. The primary reason for getting one was to discurage chasing trash (deer in particular, although I also didn't want him to chase turkeys). My beagle is also very bullheaded (aren't all of them that way?). I found that you had to shock h...

It took over 4 hrs to download from my You Tube downloader (I have a phone connection), but it was worth it. I loved the checks followed by their run. What a wonderful sound to hear, when they went visual

The bill specifies fees for licenses, generally based on the number of dogs sold, and authorizes DATCP to set higher fees by rule if necessary to cover the costs of administering the program. The paragraph that I just pasted from the bill looks more like another way for legislators to line pockets a...

Addendum: For anyone curious about his hound it's "branco's cougar magnum". I hope that is clearer.
