Brindle Beagles ?????

DKeller · Post by **DKeller** » Fri Aug 15, 2003 8:40 am

Now I'm a little new to beaglin', so bear with me on this question. I realize it probablly falls under the "dumb" catagory buy I was curious anyway. You see I've seen tri-color beagles of course. Then I saw there was black and tan beagles. Then I saw some real pretty bluetick and even redtick beagles. My question is, are there any brindle beagle's? Any marked up like a Plott Hound? Has anyone ever seen this? Thanks for the time.

I've never seen a brindle beagle. That might be interesting to start a strain of brindle beagles - you could take the smallest Plott hound bitch you could find and cross her w/ a beagle and go from there. Probably would have some aggressive little hounds.

Thing is if you crossed a Plott with a Beagle you would'nt have nothing but a brindle cur dog...

Would you call them Blotts or Peagles?

They call them pits

They do exist. I was told they almost exclusively came from a certain part of Sweden and a certain line. I don't know if there was some sort of cross-breeding, a genetic mutation, or just a rare recessive gene that doesn't exist most anywhere else. Someone sent me some photos once. Looked just like typical tri-colored beagle but with brindle instead of brown.

Here is some info and pictures of Brindles Beagles that has been posted by a breeder in Sweden. The color is currently not eligible, or a DQ in the show ring in Sweden. They have been known there for at least the last 30 years.

Try this lady. She is the one that posted the pics. She is a breeder with a worldwide reputation and has exported several of her breeding to the US.

If one of you end up importing one, I'd like to hear from you. I have two show dogs and would consider a future cross. For those of you who have never looked into importing, get the check book out. My guess is this:
You will be ruled out as a potential owner as soon as you mention hunting. If you don't show in the ring, the chances get narrower. Even if you make it past those two issues, it will most likely come with a limited registration. Now, let's talk money. I am willing to bet, I'll be very close to reality here. You'll fork out about $1500 dollars for a pup, loose your shirt on the current exchange rate and then another $500 in shipping and handling fees. The raw price is reasonable, but the exchange rate is going to double your cost in US dollars.
With that being said, you'd have a beautiful treasure in your hands that would give you 10 plus years of enjoyment. Shoot me an email if you get one. Thanks

if someone on list got one,,, what would you do to get a hunting dog out of them?????

The particular line has been prepetuated because of its hunting, because it is ineligible to be shown in Sweden. To win a show Ch in Sweden hounds must pass a hunting test. It is a fairly complicated process, taking virtually all day and in some cases more, I've been told. In Sweden most hounds are hunted as singles on both hare and roe deer. There is a page for the Swedish Beagle Club on the net, or used to be. Ask them or e-mail the lady whose address I posted earlier. She is very knowledgible, and very fluent in English.

I have already communicated via e mail with this lady and yes these hounds are bred for hunting but they usually reach 16+ inches in height. They also are known for a little bit of a bad temper. She said nothing about letting any go and was not put off in any way that I am a hunter. Cost on getting one is still unknown. She did say that owners in Europe are reluctant to let one go. She has heard the theory about their origin as being a cross with a bull terrier. Tony
