Got Beagles?
« on: November 21, 2024, 10:48:30 AM »
Just putting out the feelers for a female Beagle pup for pushing rabbits.  When I've posted on some Beagle facebook sites, I get the "How can you possible live with yourself? Forcing a young pup to chase rabbits for your own sick pleasure..." sort of messages.  Who knew I'd have to force a Beagle to chase a rabbit!  I'm in SW Washington State.  Thanks for reading.

Personally, I would head to Missouri or Arkansas and bring a pup back.  I haven't seen anyone chasing rabbits with beagles around here for years.  It sure is fun though!

Yes my son still has pups!   He even lives close by you. There's more hound hunters around than you might think, but they keep a low profile due to the animal rights folks harrassing.

They're 9 weeks old, only males, have all their puppy shots, and have been wormed.  The male was from NW Oregon and the female "Norma" is a product of his pack.

These dogs hunt, they're big, fast, hard charging and loud.  He hunts mostly Wa hare with them.

Message me for more informantion.

They look great, but I'm holding out for a female.  Really appreciate the lead. Thank you.

Well, shucks. No females, so who am I to turn down a young male pup priced right.  Due to the bargaining that goes on between spouses my Mrs. agreed to a male pup, knowing the marking that comes along with it, on the condition she gets to name him.  So, that's how I ended up with a beagle pup named "Wilbur".  My son's dog's named Melvin, so between the two it's only a matter of time before someone hears me calling "Wilber!" out in the woods and thinks I lot my Grandfather or Dad!  He's a great little guy, already sounding off on fresh bunny droppings. So as with all things hound and hunting, wish me luck in 2025.
