I have met you too Lance. I met you at TomPs house when y’all were picking up gunner. That pup is going to be a special little dog. I have struggled with whether I wanted to get one of the pups and have decided not to. It was a hard decision. I am certain this is going to be a great journey into rabbit dogs with this little male!! Welcome to the addiction of beagles Lance!Smokey Bear is a male and yes, Brian is my father. thank you I believe he is gonna be a great dog as well.
