The American Beagler Forum

Did you all hear who is up for 'BEST IN SHOW' at Westminster? A 15 inch beagle named UNO. If he wins it will be the first time a beagle has ever won. He won the hound group. Let's all cheer him on. Hurray for Beagles It beats all the dogs with names we can't pronounce winning. There is an article in MSN.com.

Let's go Uno!!!

Here's a little article on Uno, who is co-owned by Cathy Weichert and our own board member Leah Bertagnolli (Windkist):

Here's a more recent article from USA Today on Uno and his potential to become the next Winner at Madison Square Garden:

Way to go, Leah and Cathy...and Aaron...and everyone involved in Uno's success! Even if by some chance he doesn't bring home the gold, he's still the Golden Boy of Show Beagles! Best of luck to you all this week.

I just signed on to AOL and it has a pic of Uno on it's sign on page. He sure is a nice looking dog. Wish him luck.

WOOOHOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!! Uno just won the hound group!!!

I just saw uno on aol two nice looking beagle good luck and a good deal

I wonder what kind of line Uno runs? Wonder if he even knows what to do in the field

GOOOO UNO!!! The Sandy Valley kennel hounds are pulling for you!!

You go Bev. I agree with you 100%. I'm pulling for Uno all the way.

GO UNO!!! I watched him in the show tonight...very nice looking beagle!!! Every year I say the beagle should win it and finally they got it right

GO UNO !!!

WTG Bev!!!!! I just have to add that I also have a 4yr old show CH. bitch, not out of bloodlines usually regarded for passing on hunt, but guess what? She hunts, is quite close on the line, rivaling some of my Branko breeding in line control, foot, brains, hunt & actually has the best "pack sense" of all my hounds.

Anyway, the spotlight should really be on Uno & Leah - we are rooting for them all the way! I'm so excited that this fine little hound may go on to make breed history if he wins Westminster

Good luck to Leah and Uno! Leah has been one of the nicest and most helpful people I've talked with on this board! I wonder if she will be at the Detroit Dog Show?

Wow, I just heard about this on the AM station I am listening to. Awesome!!!

nice looking hound, i would like to have him for about a week and see what he could do in these briers and thickets and across a few creeks and sloughs, he would look like the ones i got out back,,,
