The American Beagler Forum

I have been yard training my 11 pups this week trying to get them ready for the wild. All are started but some still haven't been out to the wild yet. I have been having this problem but is has just been in the last five years. Sometimes a picture can say more than words so here goes. Any suggestions???

Here comes trouble


Let me catch him!


Woohoo!! I got him!!!!


I AINT letting GO!!!!


Make her STOP!!!!!


Well one thing I can say is the dogs don't run cats!!!

Hey SB, can that cat operate the shock collar too? LOL

Hey Southern,
Send that cat up my way!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yea send it my way, cause mine will tear or dig the kennel out trying to get at the one that hangs around to taunt them.
I will surprise him one day i will accidently leave the gate open while feeding.
I bet that will raise the fur on it's back.LOL

Here kitty kitty, I have a 12 ga present for you.

ROFL!
In all seriousness, I brought that cat home as a kitten in 98 to be a future mouser. One of the female beagles decided the kitten would do as a substitute pup and decided to raise the kitten as her own. She even let this kitten nurse her (even though she had not been bred in a few years). If any of the other beagles so much as sniffed the kitten, Rebel would whoop them, lol.
I guess this had a big imprint on the cat as she seriously is confused. She loves the dogs, eats with the dogs and even sleeps with the dogs. Best part is she has NEVER made that annoying meow sound, lol.
When the pups are around 8 weeks old and get to go out and play. Angie (the cat) will get out and romp and play with the pups. If you never seen it, it is hard to describe. It is a hoot! She will chase them, then they chase her. Its just a big game, lol. This has actually turned into a type of training for them. I honestly can't remember when I had my last cat race. I aint saying I won't ever have another but haven't had one in many years. They just see cats as part of the back ground. If they get too rough they get a slap upside the nose and that aint no fun.
Emery, as for the 12 gauge, come on down! I am sure your dogs will find PLENTY of wild cats to run!!!! ROFL!!!

Southern Get you some BRANKO"S dogs and you won't have that problem.lol

Hey Southern,
If you have that cat trained to clean kennels I'll give you top dollar for him.
