The American Beagler Forum

Looking for a new hound maybe the end of summer or early spring next year and I'd appreciate some bloodline reccomendations.
I want a upper medium speed line that lives, eats, and breathes to hunt! A no BS type hound that is all heart and hunt. I prefer 13" and under.
I'm also looking for hounds with correct conformation and type ... not saying I want something that looks like a show dog ... far from it ... I like a hound with CORRECT build Seriously tho, I don't consider looks to be end all and be all, I just like a Beagle that resembles a Beagle!
If you're still with me, the most important thing I'm looking for, and the real reason I'm posting here, is that everything else I described above don't mean SQUAT if the indivigual hound or line too often produces hounds with bad temperament or health. Again, I like my Beagles to not only look like their breed, but to be friendly and even tempered the way a Beagle shold be!
So ... can anyone reccomend a few bloodlines for me from what I described? I'm very, very grateful for any help with this.
No Branko need apply, thanks! (not insulting the Branko dogs, I have one myslef)

not sure where your located but you would do good if you contacted don bramlett in Kevil, KY.

I have found that the weir creek breed are all hunt. I have several that are off app mt scout that Everett Morgan had then sold . I have crossed this with Branko stuff and have had good results.

Good luck Al

From what I have seen I've found branko to be the best but when it gets down to it, it seems like thats the top bred dog they have great hunt, close to wide check, med to rabbits ass fast

I like Shaker and Striker and Ace In the Hole.

Go to some trials AKC,UKC, LP, PP and find the type of dog you like best.
Then find out wich bloodlines produce the consitentance that you like.
We really like the Weir Creeks and Weir Creek crosses with Hare Hounds,
But for briar busters it is Hard to Beat a Weir Creek

I HAVE 3 RISING SUN PUPS AND THEY LOVE KIDS AND ARE RABBIT CRAZY....LOOKS AND BRAINS...JUST MY 2CENTS...SCOTT

SilverBullet,
Rising Sun hounds for hustle, hunt, brains and LOOKS! They are as houndy as you can hope for, and you will play heck finding any built better. Paul Webb got his stuff right with these hounds, and I have had the same breeding out of his old stuff for almost ten years now with no plans to switch ....ever.

me too,,Rising Sun hounds have the complete package
