My Goal

My goal as a beagle owner and breeder is to maintain a line of dogs that suits my needs in the field. Notice I didn't mention trials. If you look back through time, beagle trialing evolves every few years. I prefer to breed beagles that I enjoy running and thus attend trials that suit my hounds. I would never change my hounds to suit the current trend in beagle trialing.
Basically I want hard hunters, good noses especially on cold dry snow, med. to med./fast foot speed with gears, brains, kennel manners, good quick check work, steady mouth on line, run on the line, bark only when the rabbit can be run, with good personalities!
I like my beagles to be black blanketed with a nice tan body and white stocking feet. I also like the females to be 13" or just under and the males between 13-14.5" I prefer fast chop mouths or good steady squalls with their head down. The majority of my hounds have smaller boned bodies and short tight coats. I plan on sticking with the (Rambo) females by outcrossing and eventually linebreeding back to the best individuals from this line. After only 10 years I like what i've seen so far!
