beagles in or out?

Question:

Response:

Always better as inside dogs. An outside run – with a protective house in it – would be fine for short periods of time (a few hours here and there) as long as the weather’s not too hot or too cold. But these two breeds need especially to bond to you as a pack member. They can’t do that if you are in the house and they are outside. A hound that isn’t bonded to you as a pack member is only going to be frustrating to you. Hounds are pack animals. If they are outside together, they will form a pack of two. The two biggest complaints people have about hounds is that they 1) bark and 2) follow their nose instead of responding to your recall command. Both of these behaviors will only be more difficult to control if the dogs are outside and not fully bonded to you. — Judy There is only one smartest dog in the world and everyone has it.

Judy, I love your sig file. Do you happen to have a recommendation of a GOOD responsible beagle breeder? (I don’t care where as long as they live in the USA (48 -no Hawaii or alaska)

(I was going to e-mail you but it didn’t look like your address would really work.) Boy, I wish! Our schnauzer is seven months old and I don’t think I want him to be an only dog. He really could use a playmate and I’m thinking it might make it easier when we ultimately lose him in 13 or 14 years if we have another dog also. My husband really thinks we should have a beagle. And I have to admit that I’m having a hard time coming up with another possible breed that tugs at my heart like a pretty little female beagle does. We’re thinking maybe in a year. From what you say about your search for a good breeder, that’s not going to be long enough. Believe it or not, it’s actually easier to find a good PBGV breeder than a beagle breeder. I’m trying to convince him that it’s basically a wire-haired beagle but I’m not sure in the final stretch that it’s going to fly. My husband should be slowing his work schedule down enough by then that he would have the time to devote to properly training a beagle again – as in hunting. And we have a line of friends waiting to hunt with any beagle he trains. So, I’ll keep working on it and let you know if I can find any likely possibilities. You’re in Ohio, aren’t you? I’m in northeast Pennsylvania. If you want, e-mail me with anything specific that you’re looking for in a breeder or a dog. I know it’s going to be hard to find ones that do any testing at all. I’ve had problems with dogs both with glaucoma and hip dysplasia. Those seem like reasonable places to start testing but no one seems to. Beagles are pretty much treated like mutts when it comes to breeding. — Judy There is only one smartest dog in the world and everyone has it.

Well Everybreeder that claims or is recommended as a "responsible" breeder that I have encountered doesn’t even come close. And when I find something, that’s better than the rest, I find fiddle fronts and dogs that appear to be half bassett. I just want a breeder of beagles held to the same standard we expect other breeders of breeds to hold to.I know with such shallow responsibility in the breed that there is no long line of genetic testing in the breed, but I would like to see a breeder at least be bold enough to provide accountability contracts and home checks (I’m ready) If I can find such a breeder, I want to support them, and do my part by progeny testing my neutered beagle and giving them the results. I would also like to train it and compete in obedience. Above all, it MUST be a hunting dog (cuz it will be my husband’s)

I’m watching my beagle-boy stretched out on the couch as I type this…. He and I would both agree that indoors is best! He’s such a pack animal and would be terribly lonely if left outside. Even if he had a companion, he would still want the entire "pack" to be together. On the nights my husband works late, Baxter about drives me nuts looking out the window, just checking to see if His Larry is home. I don’t have any suggestions on breeders. If you want a beagle from a good breeder, that’s great. But if you can, I suggest rescuing a beagle. There are a lot out there. Baxter is from a shelter — he’s gorgeous, healthy, good personality. His only flaw is that he can’t hunt! He was originally from a hunting kennel, but when he proved not to be a hunter, he ended up in a shelter. But for over 7 years, he’s been a perfect pet. I look at Petfinder.com periodically and see a lot of nice looking hounds there. Whatever you do, good luck. Baxter’s my first beagle and a more endearing buddy I could not hope to find. AMB
