You just killed a rabbit......that's what rabbit dogs do. I would have given them a bone :lol:

I think Gang gave some good advice.....You can see they are bangin heads just to be in front. I still think if they bring you back rabbits, you should be happy.

Wrongside,

You are all right with me! I have to sometimes remind myself that I am not a field trialer. I was just thinking yesterday that the only reason I know that they are making mistakes is because they are bring the rabbit back to where I can see it.

I was just bothered because I have seen them run a lot better than what they are doing right now. Thanks for the input.

I've had the pleasure and blessing of talking with some of the old time hard core beaglers who have alot of wisdom to offer and one told me one time "until you can smell what they are trying to smell dont jump to be too critical, give them some time and look for consistancy, then if the hole is too big, cut them loose"

Thanks for the reality check Drifter22no1,

My nose is not even close to that of a dog. Another beagler pointed out that the rabbit in the video could be a female with very little scent. If so, the dogs were doing okay for the conditions. Anyways, I'll keep feeding them for now.
