nice post i enjoyed reading it.
i have only been into beagles for 2 years or so.
so i dont know a whole lot. other than i want some like you discribe.
i want them to be good jump dogs that stay in that brush, that dont walk the paths ( thats my job).
that have good line but have a little foot also.
say a 7 or so BUT dont out run thier nose. if it's a bad day the brains to gear it down.
i would rather have a slower race. than a race with a bunch of brake downs.
with stop and go style running. all my dog's/pups are under one year old. i have one UBGF style dog that will be 2 in march.(doc)
i bought him before i found out beagles are not all alike.
boy did i get a wake up call.:banghead:
here is a link to my web-site you can see thier pedegree's on there

except for kate an doc they all come from the same place.
Judge-annie and diamond will be my core breeding dogs if they turn out like i expect them to.
for no more than she has been run kate is doing really well for a 11 month old, i plan on running her allot to see how she turns out . she is very competitive. which cause's her to over run the line a bit. but i think she will settle down a hair with age and confidence by getting more run/solo time. she has by circumstance been entered into a couple ARHA LP trials and done very well for a pup. i think she to will cross well with my laneline dogs.
and Ol'Doc will be our pup trainer. he has Showed ARHA PP potential or i may try him in UBGF not sure yet. but he will be to slow to run with these other dogs when they get big.
