The American Beagler Forum

I have three sons ages 7,8,and 9 who LOVE to hunt. We have 2 female beagles one that used to hunt but does more walking around at your feet and only wants to run when its time to leave , and one that is only 7 months old who is going to make a good hound when she gets a bit older. Would like to have a dog that makes it exciting to hunt rabbits. I really want them to like going as much as i do, and they are getting bored with my older dog and i cant really blame em as she hasnt jumped a rabbit in the last 4 or 5 times we have been out . My boys have actually jumped more than she has by throwing rocks and sticks into brush piles. I see dogs on here that are several hundred dollars and sometimes over a thousand that advertise extreme hunt and good line, excellent speed and great nose. I told my wife this is what i want to get the boys but she said I cant afford it . Which brings me to my question, is there any dogs out there that are not so expensive that hunt hard and wont run off. Papers are great but they dont matter as this dog will be strictly for my boys to learn and have fun with. It will be ran several times a week all year, and in its off time it will have the luxury of a fenced in backyard where it can lounge about with the other two. My 3 year old daughter will make daily trips to the backporch to check on it and throw it food that she deems inedible, mainly vegatables . About the boys the dog will be going to, all three are in school, 1st 3rd, and 4rth grades, two of them play football, all three play baseball in the summer(on different teams ) and all 3 are scouts, one is a tiger one is a wolf and one is webelo, and all 3 love to hunt.

So if anyone has an inexpensive dog that hunts hard and is within driving distance of the mid ohio valley, st. marys WV, we would be interested and they have been saving their change and mine.

I know this is a heck of a time to be looking for one, especially with rabbit season just a few days off, but we didnt know my dog was gonna decide its hunting career was over. She will still hunt and trail a rabbit but doesnt show any intrest in jumping one herself anymore.

where are you located?ohio or wv

We are in WV, but can see ohio from the house. Just across the river from Newport OH about 17 miles north of Marietta.

get a hold of Shawn Ohlinger in Oh. i bought a HECK OF A GOOD HOUND from him a year ago. it will be just what he says. his prices were more than fair.i didnt spend a lot of money on her & got a hound that will stay here for life.

i have a 2 1/2 year old id sell

thanks for the offer, indiana is about 5 or 6 hours farther than i want to go.

I have a 4 year old coppernose female that i would let go she can jump and run her own rabbit listens exceptional well has great hunt i have killed 15 rabbit with her so far this year i would have to have 300 but she is well worth it i will show her in the field i live in Richwood Wv but would be willing to meet Thanks Cody

thanks for the offer. Sounds like a great dog and you are fairly close too, but I wont be buying any dog right now as i got laid off since i posted this and the boys dont have that much saved. Hopefully i get called back to work soon. thanks again.

Hey Bill sure appreciate the comment. I'm just glad rosie found a good home, you're as happy with her as I was! As far as this post. I've been away from home for a year and cut back I'm down to 4 dogs. I have a one year old male red tick he's going to make a real nice dog. He's ready for gun season. I need 150.00 for him b/c another guy has been running him for me and I need to break even with that guy! If you guys are still interested come this next season get ahold of me via email noluckkennels@gmail.com thanks hope you found the right dog by now! If not give me a shout. This dog is another one of those kick myself later dogs just like Rosie lol!

My friend Tyson has a real nice female for sale. The dog is in Marietta right now at his dads place running. I am not sure what he is asking for her but I know it is not anything over 250 possibly less. She is a good dog, no trash and hunts hard. The only reason he is getting rid of her is that he has a couple new pups and would like to dedicate more time to them. If you want to get a hold of him his number is 412 327 1784. He is a real good guy.

you have a pm
