My Ace dog died this morning. He was 13 and1/2 years old, and his health was getting progressively worse, but he still had it in him to run rabbits every chance he got. As a matter of fact, that's how he died. Ace was run over this morning running a rabbit. Ace had been retired for the last couple of years, but my cousin would turn him out every night and listen to Ace run a rabbit. Every mornin Ace would be asleep on the porch when Charlie would leave to go to work. Ace was a very good rabbit dog. I can't think of a time when I was trialing him that his cast would have to awarded a winner because no rabbit was produced. Ace would, as my Granddaddy would say, make a rabbit. I'm sure if they have trouble getting one going in Heaven, they won't anymore, because Ace should be there now. RIP in Ace. You sure made my rabbit hunting a pleasure.

Sorry to hear about your loss Pete we just lost a good dog this past wednesday.. I hope Cj meets up with your dog Ace on the other side he was the same way

sorry pete

Sorry about Ace old buddy. He was one heck of a dog that could flat find a rabbit. I can still hear that bawl mouth after a long loss. Arooo Arooo Arooo He's got it and gone.

Sorry to hear of your loss Pete.

Sorry to hear

Sorry to hear that Pete, Ole Ace was a true jump dog. I judged him quite a bit and he could always make a rabbit.

Pete I think a great jump male is the most valuable of all beagles and I sure hate to see you lose one. I hope you can find you another one just as good.

Sorry for your lose, Pete. You hate to see the old ones go, but it seems he has served you well!

Here is a picture of Ace when he won the Champions hunt at the old club.

Thanks fellas. I will definitely miss the old man. He put on quite a few outstanding performances out in the field. Many of which I will never forget. Once after I just got him, I took him to a place where the opening day of rabbit season we only jumped 3 rabbits. I jumped 2 of them myself. At the end of that day we jumped 8 rabbits and Ace jumped every single one of them. Great memories.

Sorry to hear of your loss.

sorry to hear that

Sorry to hear about your loss. Had to put a good one down today myself. These little hounds can sure weigh heavy on a heart.

Sorry to hear about Ace.......he must have been a good one
