I like when the dogs are pounding the rabbit and he doubles back on the same line and just when you think the dogs may be backtracking here comes old Peter.

I like watching a jump dog; NOT A STRIKE DOG a JUMP dog. A dog that has an unbelievable knack for jumping rabbits. When I watch a jump dog work and jump rabbits where 99% of beagles can not jump rabbits day in and day out all day long that is what I remember most after the day is over. I like going to a place where everyone says there are not any rabbits with one of those real deal jump dogs. You will find rabbits with a jump dog.

You can't run a rabbit if you cant find one.

Like Matt I like a Jump Hound,nothing like watching a Great Jump Dog work and theres not many out there,I also like to watch a Big Male realy burn a track. I belive above all is watching a pup you've started jump and run its first Rabbit solo to the gun.

my favorite is starting young dogs. watching them go from not having a clue to flipping the switch and doing what they were bred to do. it amazes me everytime.

I like to see multiple circles,just steady mistake free track running with no loss till the rabbit is shot,caught or holed,those runs that last for over an hour.Best I ever had was a 6 hour run with 2 females.I sold one and she circled a rabbit 12 times for the guy.Wish I had her back :oops:

I like to hear a pack of screaming beagles coming right at you with Mr. Rabbit running for his life. Nothin better than a hot track and a scared rabbit with a few hounds right on his rear!!!!!

I love to watch my beagles jump a rabbit then come pounding by hot on another rabbit then follow me down the track home when I want to go. I walked two beagles, a white shep and a Chinese Crested (in heat) , in the bush, and forgot all the leashes at home! I like a versatile, well trained dog of any breed! I love to watch my beagles trotting down the track towards me after a chase in the bush. Carolyn

I am impressed when I see a dog that can run when most can't.
