Dan was the best gun dog I have ever hunted behind. He wasn't the best trial dog I've ever seen and he wasn't the classiest dog I've every watched. He was a relentless son of a gun who never knew the word quit. He was mouthly, some times he could be over competitive, but he never failed us when we w...

Glad you all have great hounds... ;) Seems everyone has knives and forks, but nothing on their plate. I won't be supper... :shock: I tried to offer some help and my opinion to a fellow but I was all wrong I guess. Next time I'll just wait for you guys to step up and help him... Sorry I'm the only o...

Thanks Andy.

I was just talking to Rob Fetting about the same cross.

Thanks again.
Rob

See the differance.

For some reason on your post you had a /jpg instead of a .jpg

Greg, I don't keep dogs that are not good. I don't trial and I am not a big breeder. I only keep a few dogs at my place. I am just a gun hunter. If I am even considering breeding her you can bet she is going to be a rabbit dog. John, I agree there not from a specific family of hounds but they are fr...

Norewester, We have bad days also. And plenty of them. The differance is when we have him on the ground he makes it happen. He gets the rabbit back to the gun almost all the time. It may not be pretty and sometimes it can look down right ugly but when it counts he comes through. Between us we have a...

Buckhunter (Terry), This is the second season I've had him. I shot a 161 rabbits over him last year and well over 200 so far this year. But were not done yet ;) John, His pedigree is listed on my web site. http://www.gunrunnersbeagles.com I know from reading most of yours posts John that my male is ...

Norewester, I am not sure if I am even going to make this cross yet. He is a cottontail dog. He can run a hare ( he has ran two) but I am sure you have hare dogs that would do a better job on a hare than he would. His top speed on a 1-10 is about a 6.5 If I were looking for a hare dog I would want o...

Ok fellas I started this to find out what kind of first hand success people have had doing this type of cross. Not for breeding advice. Not to start an argument. There are no fault free beagles in this world.. NONE. But I have a male that does not loose rabbits, if he can run them at all and the con...

Thats exactly the type of info I was looking for.



Thanks Fuzz.

If you get a chance let me know ho wthe pups turn out after you get them started.

Thanks fellas I really appricaiate the advice. But this is not my first day owning dogs.;) No matter what happens I will deal with it. What I am looking for is first hand knowledge of father daughter crosses that have succeeded or failed. I've drivin from massachusetts to mississippi looking at dogs...

Thanks for all the opinions/info.

I was mainly wondering if any one has had first hand experiance with this and how it turned out.

Andy, Thats was a good article, very well written. Dave, I know your against it. I am on the fence I guess on this subject. But I have pretty much cleared my kennel out and I am getting ready to keep a whole litter out of my male one way or the other. I finally found the male I want to duplicate exa...

Thanks for the info fella's.

I am thinking about making a father daughter cross. I know it would lock in the traits etc. I know I will have to do some culling. But what I would like to hear is what kind of success people have had with this? I would like to hear from a few that have done this. I am in the situation right now whe...
