Sorry to disagree with you, but Michigan does not have a state wide leash law, however we all take a chance on losing our beagles every time out.

Up here in the Alpena area it was bad until we got 3 inches of fresh snow last Friday. The running should be pretty decent right now.

Good luck with your pups, and it's good to see you have those young fellers started on the right track too. Way to go.

My very first dog was a beagle basset cross that my dad got me as a pet...he was a pet until my dad came home from work one afternoon and the dog was running a rabbit,lol. I wish I had a whole kennel full that could run like that little guy could.

Tony are you a hunter or a trialer? I couldn't figure it out from your posts.

Here's one of my Daisy. Sorry about the ugly guy behind her,lol.

Last January I went to watch a 13 month old female run, and bought her for $250. She's AKC registered, and has been doing a real nice job for me. If the pup is supposed to be started, go see what it does before buying if you can.

ked wrote What I am saying is that a breeder should be as responsible as they can to breed for healthy, strong, using dogs. Part of that is knowing that a dog as a pup had the will to survive. That is hard for a beginer especially if the previous breeder did not watch for these traits. I think this...

Do the Cyber Shot, or Mavica have a microphone on them?

This is a pup out of Rising Suns Valiant Knight.

It was a balmy 38 when I got up this morning.....the leaves are falling, life is good.
