Caveman Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 (edited) I have a beagle x blue tick hound mix. I got him from a rescue in WV. He isn't much of a hunting dog. Never tried running rabbits, but he'll tree a squirrel like no one's business. I just can't shoot it because a gunshot sends him into the next county. He has a hell of a nose though. I've been playing around with training him as a blood tracking dog if I can only find the time. EDIT: Sorry for the massive pic. I can't figure out how to resize for the life of me.

The_Real_TCIII Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 I recently went on my first hunt over a beagle and I'm telling you right now, I WANT A BEAGLE! It was a blast. This guys name is Todd and my buddy barely trained him. Just got him out early as a pup 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daveboone Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 I had a beagle x blue tick, no more difficult to house train than any other dog, Any beagle on a run after a rabbit is very tough to call off...it is what their whole existence is for. If you want the dog primarily for rabbit, I would stay with a beagle...blue ticks can out run a rabbit over a distance (at least my x could....much more blue tick than beagle sized). I ended up finding an appreciative family for her ....simply couldn't find any rabbits any more due to predation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adkhunter71 Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 We had a female beagle when I was a kid. On more than one occasion we couldn't get her off a track by dark and you could go out at midnight and still hear her running rabbits. She would go and go until she must have finally gotten hungry and headed home. And as was mentioned before, she basically listened when she wanted to. If you would call her to come, she would go the other way for about 50 yards, wait until you closed the distance to ten yards or so and then she'd head away from you again. She was a great pet and hunting dog, though, and she is surely missed (mostly by my dad who's health keeps him from hunting any more, otherwise he'd have another beagle for sure).

Otto Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 The best solution would be to find a good friend that wants or has beagles too, and just hunt with them all the time! My friend had a kennel full of beagles and we rabbit hunted together several times, great fun, and working with the dogs is the best part. They are stubborn, but that is what makes them such great hunters. We also hunted with another friend of his that had a Rottweiler, best dam rabbit dog I ever saw......

The_Real_TCIII Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Side story: Todd took off on a deer once and got lost. Another friends grandfather told him to take his jacket off and leave it near the last place you saw him, he will be laying on it in the morning. Sure enough, he was! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couldn't find that dog anywhere. Did the jacket and a bowl of food... Just like you say was there in the morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
