The American Beagler Forum

Just wondering what your guys think. 13 " or 15 " beagles. How about makeing a case for your preference.

I like little ones, 13", that can run up with 15" dogs. It is fun to watch them. JMO.

13 or under no question w/me. Here in the south I never understood why ppl ran the big ones.To each his own Ive seen some fine ones go but not 1 I would own for any reason.LIke the fella above said a small one that can hang with the big ones is great to watch.
Plus,eat more,s#it more,take up more space in dog box/kennel they just aint for me.

I like both with tons of heart.

If im going to lift 40 lbs up onto the tailgate it better have 8 legs, Al

I like 13's If Im gonna throw anything on my tailgate over about 15 pounds it better only have 2 legs.

I just was wondering if the small ones pushed a rabbit a little slower or if there was any difference.

I like to run females, but my pick is 13 inch females.

A nice 15"

13 to 14 max is what i like. but i have two full 15 males. i like rabbit dogs , size i can live with.

13 inch swimming with all their might while 15 inch still running away with the rabbit in water.

13"

All of the above. Give me a good rabbit dog and I don't care much about the size.

I would perfer to have a 13's that can beat 15's. I have seen some, but not alot of them. I have one more question. What bloodline's consistantly produces 13's that whoop most 15's?

I raise 15's but I do enjoy gun hunting small dogs.
