The American Beagler Forum

It was at our UKC Performance Pack club hunt. My favorite female Blaze done this. We casted the dogs up the hill and she walked over to a big briar patch. She stopped and started to turn her head back and forth looking down the whole time. Had one left slightly off the ground and dove into the briars. It was neat, she has done it before but not that intensely. The wind was blowing very light which might of had something to do with her finding it. I feel she has a great
Nose and I guess this proves it.


Anyone else have a dog that will point before jumping the rabbit?

friend of mine had a lil female about 10 years ago we were skirting a patch of open timber on the edge of some brush and a rabbit had balled up against the tree in the wide open not 3 ft from me. When i looked down the lil female had locked on that rabbit and wasnt moving. i even hollored to my buddy to come look. she didnt budge until i swung my foot at the rabbit and it took off. she was just daring it to take off lol. loved that lil female. Wish i had a whole kennel full of em like her.

20 years ago I ran with a guy had a dog half beagle half bird dog sure could run a rabbit.

A beagle pointed out a rabbit in a little pack hunt last year. The rabbit was beside a tree in the wide open. The dog stood there with one foot up and would not move at all just approximately 3' from the rabbit! The judge said that dog is pointing at something and he came over to look and the rabbit took off.

I have a male that winds them in brush piles and will point for a second or two before he dives in the brush. My female used to do this but rarely does it anymore. Seems like they do it when they are younger and then stop when they are older.
