The American Beagler Forum

If you have kids, you know what I mean. Raising and training the dogs is only half the reason for having beagles. Spending time with my little "helpers" is the other half.

Great pics .....I am in the same boat but mine likes dog food

Mine think that dog food is too "spicey".

Kali is 2 and is my puppy trainer. She makes sure they are used to being carried by their necks, having their tails pulled, and generally being over-crowded.

Maci is 5 and is my hound's voice trainer. She makes sure they know they have to bark loudly if they are to be heard over her continuous rambling. She also breaks them to lead by tying them up to anything and forgetting to tell me that she did.

Being around kids make for a really good handling dog. Being around dogs does something for kids that will last a lifetime.

I agree on both. I've tried to keep them around pretty much any animal they are interested in. They love the puppies and the goats, I've drawn the line at llamas.

Also, having other animals around, like the goats, seem to help with the dogs running off game. Maybe, maybe not, but I've had better luck with that since the dogs are around so many other animals.

I guess there not that old what line are they they all look fit from here lol the one that laying in bed is that the mother nice looking pups anyway good luck

The pups are Patch/Branko bred. Looking forward to seeing how they do.

The dog in the bed is a 4 month old pup. She got in when my other girl went out to get on the school bus. Didn't know she was in the house until my wife found her.

Two year ago I bred a Branko dam/ sir was Branko/Patch someone I know sent to Branko people & got a Branko Bitch & bred it to a Patch &then I bred my Branko to it made some pretty good dogshere she is a little over year there I sold her

This was my project with Maci this spring. Took four days to do with my helper, would have taken two by myself.

nice pics, i know what you mean with the lil helpers i got 4 hear that want to do every thing with the hounds except clean the kennels. its going to be real fun in the next month i have 2 litters due. i can't wait but i love it.

I know what you mean. They want to help feed, even if they've already been fed. But when you have to clean kennels, their leg hurts or it's too cold (or hot).

great pics mark and your new kennel is looking good

Thanks Chris and Laura

I thought I'd let you know, I'm coming to kidnap Jew-Dee. Maci let three of the big dogs out when I was running Ditto and Smoke this morning. Didn't phaze her a bit, led them around like they were the pups! I truly don't know what I've got ahold of there.
