The American Beagler Forum

i've raised and hunted beagles my whole life and as a kid enjoyed field trials but it's been years now my boys7 and 9 are getting in to it i remember the good times i had so how do i get back in to it

Try thr UKC website, the ARHA/NKC website, The AKC website . These are three of the registerys hosting trials, they have different styles, just find a club near you and call the contact person . Join a club and start trialing , have fun!

Poorboy,

I did the same thing, only I was out of it for 20 years. I would suggest you find a club close and get involved. I got involved with an ARHA club just because I live in Kentucky and I can go to a field trial almost any weekend I want in reasonable driving distance. AS far as how to start, the other club members can point you toward a few good dogs (or pups) for sale. Have fun.

If there is anything I can do to help you along, just let me know!

thanks for all the info i bought a pup i think it's a good blood line double bad seed any info on this line? and thanks again

Poorboy,
Best of luck and I hope you enjoy it as much as I have. Just remember that it's all for fun and it's the hound that wins or loses, not the owner or handler. Now, I enjoy winning, but don't take trialing too serious or it won't be any fun. I enjoy going even if I don't take a hound - its the fellowship and those wonderful little hounds that make it enjoyable.
Again, best of luck and God Bless.

Poorboy, what part of ARK are you from?

i'm from ward a little town outside of cabot about 30 min. north of L.R. i agree beagle bum i'm in it for the fun of watching my boys enjoy being part of something positive i have other beagles non reg. til now but we love to hear the race and the boys love to chase the dogs around trying to see the rabbit first i remember when i was a kid me my uncle and grandpa going to trials, and running them at night at camp robinson i was just a kid but i was grown when we hunted i hope the boys get the same feeling
