Beagles

[mbfranklin]

My son really wants a Beagle. Anybody have a suggestion on a good place to get one?

I know someboby who might be able to fix your son up this summer.

We have a female beagle (got her at 8 weeks)....... she was never a very good or "fun" dog for my son.
she didn't fetch or rough house or chase....... Not the dog I would pick for a young kid that wants a companion.
she's old now but was a real good hunting dog for rabbits, squirrels, coons.......
JMO, good luck.

Beagles

Our beagle is a fun, playful, crazy little dude. All he wants to do is play. He is constantly looking for attention. They are a pain in the butt as inside dogs cause they are curious and can damage some stuff but we love the rascal anyways. Our Archie can also eat a cow if we let him..lol

We got ours from Froggy on here. Froggy is good people and his beagles so far are awesome. We will most likely get another in the near future.

Archie all grown up. 9 weeks to 5 months this past Halloween.

Archie loves his sisters.

Pooped out from playing.

Archie's first Christmas present.

We have a beagle as well. We bought ours in February 2009. She's a good dog. Beagles seem to have separation anxiety and get into trouble when they're left alone for long periods of time!

I can't say I know about how they are around children....but i'll find out come June!

Keegan, you are right about leaving them alone for long periods of time. Thats when are chit head Archie messes up. Lmao

I am waiting for the summer to get one from Froggy. My Buddy passed away. He wasn't much of a playful dog with kids but he sure could hunt rabbits!

Heres Champ just a family dog, got him from an older man in snook in 2006

[Froggy]

Here's two of my 6 month old girls. They only weigh about 10 lbs and are about 10 inches at the shoulder. They are just starting to hunt. I've also had them on a couple of mock blood trails. Their great grandpa is Post Oak Little Nip Otis who is in the Gundog Hall of Fame

I'll be attending the Trinity Valley Beagle Club Field Trial this weekend. I look forward to seeing some great hounds work. There will be field trialers from several states there.

Thank you all for all of the advice and input! Keep it coming....

I wait for Froggy....

Beagles is playful and love kids... I didn't get mine from Froggy but I will the next time if he's still raising them.

[Jaker]

We got my son one for Christmas he is real playful and great with my one year old, a little stubborn but overall a good dog.

The only thing I could say from owning one is that Beagles are born to run and hunt. If you don't have ALOT of time to spend with them afield and let them do their thing, then I always suggest to look at another breed. I love to hear a beagle on the trail, but I hate to see one fenced in and not having the chance to do what is in its nature to do.

We got ours this time last year from a breeder in Louisiana. DXT_TACTIC is family and he got his Beagle there too.

He's just a house dog and we don't have kids. He does have anxiety where it takes a few minutes to calm him down when we get home, even if we weren't gone but a few minutes. He doesn't really get into trouble outside of digging, really. He doesn't bark or howl as much as I though Beagles did, but when he does, watch out! He is a ball of energy, but I don't mind one bit. It's better than anything on cable. I wouldn't switch breads for anything! I love this lil guy!
