In addition to Santana and JoJo, I also have Princess (7) - my first ever beagle, and the start of my love affair with this wonderful breed, Romeo (6) , purchased as a "mate" for Princess, Chloe(6), a gift from a lady who couldn't keep her, Chloe is the light of my life, a tiny girl who is more bonded with me than any dog I've ever had in my 68 years, Lottie (5), who is the tiny offspring of show champions, and was a rescue, Joe and Jack (1 1/2), the offspring of JoJo and Tanna, and the baby, Bella, the offspring of Lottie and Tanna. Of the "9-pack", only JoJo (Joe's Crescent Moon), Tanna (Mojave Desert Santana), and Bella (My Little Bella Angel), are intact. Since Lottie (Ladmar's Whole Lotta Trouble) was so small, she had to have a c-section - so she was spayed, Bella will hopefully be able to continue that line. I don't "breed" to make money - I do it because I love doing it - and because JoJo and Tanna have such wonderful pedigrees, they're well worth continuing! JoJo is 3 and this may well be her last litter. ALL these dogs are pets, and all are cherished, I'm extremely "fussy" about who buys my pups - this area is NOT "beagle country", labs and border collies are the breeds of choice here. My dogs and puppies get the very best care I can give them - and I like to think I'm a RESPONSIBLE breeder.
Deb started this forum when I joined - so if you have "pets", I'd love to chat with you.

I co-manage a "beagle group" on MSN - and I've certainly learned a lot there, but the group is composed of pet owners only - I'd like to learn a little more about field trials - and what goes into making a real champion!
