love it freepop!  a different style of a beagle working- whats called a "walkie talkie"- one that shows you every track. I've never owned a hound as close and clean on the checks, and he never loses one it seems. He shows you every track- if I was trialing now, he's finish in 3 trials and be the talk of the circuit- and yes, you can shoot a lot of rabbits over this type of hound- as he warms it up, he gets faster, but still clean as can be. A slower hound keeps the bunny in a smaller circle. NOT a hare hound type style however- althogh he doesp retty good on jacks out west |

Thanks
Steve, I've hunted with one like that before, he was a field champion or something like that. Something like brace hound?
Mine get themselves screwed up on the checks sometimes, especially after the second or third time around, but end up getting it worked out. First time on hare 2 years ago and they liked them just as well.

yes freepop, thats a brace or small pack hound- although
a lot depends on habitat you hunt- years back, I hunted big tracts, last years, all small plots

I never mesed with trials, I heard that there's a lot of politics involved. I like to rabbit hunt but was getting a little old for all that stomping and tromping, plus the little woman wanted a dog. Got the oldest on the internet from a young couple that just had a baby, he was 1 yr and never ran a rabbit. The youngest was a rescue and it took him a while to catch on, now he's a killer. For opposites they work well together, the oldest gives lots of voice, even cold trails but the youngest only opens up when the track is smoking hot. I have to take them for a run daily, but I can check the rat traps in the ditch while they are having their fun.

you bet there is politics involved- you couldn;t hurt a great hound, but it certainly mattered who was at other end of leash.
But in "the day" is was as fair as any such sport and better than most. I did quite well for a small timer- MN has no clubs so always had to travel- never finshed one on my own, but have owned many Fd Chs and bred a few, Fd Ch Cherakawas' Black Bishop being the most well known.
If I lived closer, I'd still be in the game- but my home club, Willowa, was in Platteville WI almost 200 miles from home. Got expensive and way too time consuming.

My youngest has a rep. of being rough with other dogs and no history on blood lines. Oldest was fixed when we got him, he had papers but they are of no use.
They are the reason I got into trapping as the rabbits are way thin now-a-days.
They're spoiled brats, house dogs and sleep with us, in fact they're in the lazy boy with me now. When we hunt, they walk with me and actually stop and look for me from time to time. I hate having to chase a dog down, but when they hit a track, there's no hesitation about going. This makes it wasy to jump from property to property if/when we need to.

sounds like they are spoiled just like Buddy-
Buddys got some places in trials before I got him- and he's never forgotten the meaning of "tally -ho".
out in the field- you yell tally ho, and he comes arunning!
you can sure tell Charles Shultlz owned a beagle- Snoopy descibes them perfectly.
Beagles are considered the hardest dog to obeidient train, because they are SO stubborn.
