A general forum for the discussion of hunting with beagles, guns, clothing and other equipment and just talking dawgs! (Tall tales on hunting allowed, but remember, first liar doesn't stand a chance)

I was thinking the same thing. Many NKC Little Pack dogs are demonized on here and accused of not being able to run a rabbit more than 50 yards. It's amazing that several dogs that have Won the Little Pack World Hunt go on to make AKC Field Champion in the Mid-West. Many more dogs with Wins and places in the Mid-West. A recent AKC Mid-West Champion just placed 2nd at the World hunt last weekend. Nothing wrong with that and I'm sure he is a fine dog. Clean line control is just in the eyes of the beholder and certainly if it is the judge.
Most of the ones that are putting the little pack dogs down are the ones that have never been to a little pack trial. From what i have saw ARHA Little Pack and AKC Mid-West run the same style hound but under different rules.

I thinnnk 15 inch midwest males are becoming little pack wannabees....from what i heard the lttle pack dogs at the world was running more like a midwest dog than the midwest dogs actually do
