Beagle Puppys

Thinking about getting back in to rabbit hunting, aany one going to be breeding thier 12 inch beagles?

I like the smaller beagles, when I had my 12 inch bitch I had it breed with my friends beagle. So he had two and I had two. We killed a lot of rabbits with them dogs.
The nice thing about the smaller beagles is when you are done hunting and you want go you can just pick them up and carry them out.
Less dog food to buy and less dog ship to pick up.

I use to have jack russels twenty-five years ago. They would drive foxes & woodchucks out of thier den.
My bitch dog Fanny I trained for squirrels and was a fantastic squirrel dog.
I use to live trap gray squirrels and let them go and let her chase them. It didn't take long of her chasing them and then taking her hunting every morning to get her in to a top knotch squirrel & fox dog.

When I had my two bluetick coon hounds I hunted them every night and they were excellent hounds as well.

When I lived back in Upstate New York, Broome County. After Sepember 1st Iwent in to work between 9 & 10 am. I hunted every morning of squirrel hunting until regular deer gun season started the 3rd week of Nevember. My work year ended the midele of November unti the middle of April.
After deer season we hunted rabbits.
When the coons got prime i hunted them hard from around 9pm until one or two in the morning.
Hounds were a big part of my life back then.

Mine would always hunt with you, some times when you have to go and the dog still wants to hunt i could grap the dog up and go in the thick stuff.
Most hound dogs hunt with thier nose until they get close to the quarry then some will run them by sight.
That is where longer legged dogs catch what they are chasing and kill it.
A guy my brother worked with thirty years ago had registered beagles. A neighbor down the street had two registered bluetick coon hounds.
The bitch bluetick came in heat and his 15 inch male beagle locked up with that bluetick coon dog.
The neighbor was pissed, but it was out where it could get bred.
They each kept one pup from that cross to hunt.
He ran his pup with his beagles. One it got to actually hunt & track it was a hell of a dog.
Once the cross got good at tracking and a little better nose then the pure beagles it woukd catch up to the rabbit, it wouks see it and chase it down, kill it and eat most of it.
He ended up giving it away to a guy who hunted snoeshoe rabbits.
He only hunted cottontails.
All dogs are different in thier own ways, i never liked silent trail coon dogs that only barked when treed.

Not a misleading title Goat, i am looking for beagle puppies.
If you want to see images of beagle puppies just google ( images of beagle puppies).
You will get to see cute little beagle puppies.
This thread is about actual hunting beagles, not family pets that stay at home and crap in the house & yard and never go chase rabbits which they were bred to do.
