whitefeet4190 1,724 Posted April 4, 2014 Report Share Posted April 4, 2014 Thinking of getting a pure working strain of beagle for bushing but are there and pros and cons of this breed ? Or anyone using them ? Any info or pics would be great Quote Link to post
Bazil brush 474 Posted April 4, 2014 Report Share Posted April 4, 2014 pros can hunt a line longer, cons you might end up chasing it a few miles lol, go for a beagle spaniel or a beagle terrier mix a lot easier to control 1 Quote Link to post
russ2012 328 Posted April 4, 2014 Report Share Posted April 4, 2014 have to agree with bazil, beagles are a pack dog and tend to travel a fair bit so make sure u have the asics gel on just in case lol but for a bit of bushing id deffo go with a X Quote Link to post
Guest foxpack Posted April 4, 2014 Report Share Posted April 4, 2014 ONCE THE BEAGLE HAS GOT ON THE LINE ,IT WILL SWITCH ALL ITS HEARING DOWN AND STEP ON THE GAS ,,WILL EVENTUALLY COME BACK WHEN IT EITHER LOSES THE SCENT OR THE CULPRIT HAS GONE TO GROUND . Quote Link to post
R.A.W 1,987 Posted April 4, 2014 Report Share Posted April 4, 2014 I'd say it depends on what your trying to achieve..................... How much ground have you got ? How fit are you ? What sort of ground are you hunting? How big are the covers? The questions are endless really 1 Quote Link to post

Snoz 29 Posted April 10, 2014 Report Share Posted April 10, 2014 I might be able to help you, I just happen !!!!!! to have a litter of pups from a working (registered pack) beagle to a very well bred but not entered Russell bitch as you can probably guess it wasn't a planned mating although the bitch has seen a couple of things and is doing ok. There two weeks old now and I'd be asking for 50 quid a pup just to stop people taking them on a whim and to contribute to feeding hounds. If anyone's interested give me a shout, cheers 1 Quote Link to post

spec 45 Posted April 15, 2014 Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 one straight beagle on its own IMO is not the right dog for bushing. It will give tongue pretty much guaranteed, that's one pro, but I assure you you will spend a hell of a lot of time covering a hell of a lot of ground looking for your dog!! 1 Quote Link to post
