Christmas Beagles: Warning

[Briarhoppers]

Ya'll be carefull selling pups this time of year. I've heard different stats, but something like nearly 50% of "Christmas Puppies" end up in a pound w/in the first year!!
Just in the 5 yrs. I've had beagles, I've had a number of people that know I have beagles call and say they bought their kid a beagle puppy for Christmas or birthday, etc. and would like to give it to me b/c it barks or digs or climbs, etc.
BE CAREFULL selling pups as pets - our hounds deserve better!
