Re: why are there so many BS in beagling!!
I finally took some advise from an old hunting buddy. If I had taken it sooner I would have saved myself several dollars and a lot of time.He says that if a dog is really good it needs no advertising. Somebody local a trialer or hunting buddy will own it. When I stray to far from his advice I am guickly reminded that I should have been listening LOL...When I hear a guy only has a kennel full of world beaters I quickly move on.Nobody in my opinion has a kennel full of outstanding dogs.In 35 years of owning dogs I have never tried to sell a dog and list it as outstanding.I have sold a few and listed them as above average or decent.I I also have owned several sorry dogs as well.I laugh when I here that people are selling one of their best dogs because of kennel space.I don't keep many dogs but I never run out of space for a good one..Not trying to tick anyone off.Just my 2 cents on the subject.

money talks, some guys like my self ,get bored, i would rather work with pups then run a pack of finshed hounds. i like to watch progress. i have on more then 1 ocassion sold the best hound in my kennel. and will do it again. i have never seen the perfect hound, i have seen some that were close to perfect( my standards) but not perfect.

Re: why are there so many BS in beagling!!
thats how i am, i like to watch young hounds grow up and turn into nice rabbit hounds, as of rite know i have 2 femals that will stay, it's the direction i want to breed. i have 3 pups out of the one and time will tell how the cross worked.
nothing thing better then seeing pups turn out.

Re: why are there so many BS in beagling!!
I learned my lesson a long time ago I won't buy a dog till I see him run.... That doesn't mean you won't get burned but just means maybe not as bad...lol Guys do anything for a dollar

Re: why are there so many BS in beagling!!
Was out of town, but I see things got out of hand. I can't figure out that I tried to make a poor situation better and it seems to get worse. Bonds beagles I offered you a replacement or refund and you never give me a response. I have a new litter of pups born yesterday or a young male that is ready to start for replacement options. I will make things right with you,but you drive here and bring my back my dog.
I don't think I should have too, but I will try to make this right. Some guys expect a world beater for puppy price!!!

Re: why are there so many BS in beagling!!
You have to know what you are looking for and go find it. Call some of these fire cracker dog dealers and have them show them in the field. Go to some events for the stlye of hound that you are intrested in. If I dont know that someone I trust has seen the dog run or I have seen it run. Most of the time yuo can bank on it that its BS. The BS stops when that tail gate drops... Good luck.

If anyone attends a LP hunt and has a chance to meet Karle you will certainly enjoy the conversation![]()

According to him most dogs aren't worth shooting, and his are worse.
He is a good judge of a hound, but you have to realize they probably aren't as bad as what he says they are.
Re: why are there so many BS in beagling!!
So pretty much it was thought that the dog could run a rabbit but $300 was payed for a dog that wasn't worth a hoot. Or may WRK's opinion of a rabbit dog in his mind is totally different then someone elses. Reguardless if you ripped him off that's not the way to go but next time I advise you to see it run .. if it will that is.
Re: why are there so many BS in beagling!!
Easy though guys, I've seen some phenomenal dogs that are one owner dogs. Won't mess w/ a rabbit except if they're owner (original) is there. My dogs have made me look stupid enough before that I try to to brag about them and let them do the talking for me. Some days they're on, some days they're off, not much you can do about that...
EXCEPT RUN 'EM SOME MORE!!!
