I have a house beagle. She's a pain in the ass. Her name is Easy. I still trained her as a hunting dog, lol..but she's gunshy. We play cool games like "chase the neighbors rabbits" and "is that a deer I smell?". Also....our favorite game...dragging really unenthusiastic cats around the house by their head and/or neck.
I wanna get a dozen of em. Real easy up here because the guys who breed them would throw them in a trash can if they aren't cool with guns.
It's disgusting that people throw them away. If you want to train them to hunt, you're good to go. If you want them to just walk without stubbornly sniffing fucking everything, good luck. They'll do it, but it'll take a lot of time.

They're definitely extra work. They're pretty though, and they make beautiful sounds. Balls of limitless energy in need of constant approval.
This place came with a double kennel and alot of woods along a creek..so we've always had a dog out here.....but the neighbors have cattle and thoroughbreds...so we need one that can't make a legitimate run at injuring/killing all that noise. My wallet isn't long enough to pay for Equine Money Pit the Third.
Had to get the last big dog (Pongo, a rescue from the shelter) a new home after it savaged a neighbors pigs when it got loose (and dozens of the roosters he breeds for cockfighting). He was a huge fucker...the kids used him as a pillow, even my youngest, as an infant and I never had a worry in the world about it....but you just couldn't trust him around livestock. He was also bred and trained to hunt so I couldn't really fault him for what he did. He's living in town now. More kids, fewer tasty standing racks of ribs. The kids still haven't forgiven me, lol. I actually tried to tell them that santa took him to a new home (because, ofc, santa brought him to our house)..and that hatred they have at what they think was betrayal bled out onto santa. They trash talk saint nick..because I convinced them he was complicit in stealing their dog and giving it to some other little monsters.
Easy isn't going to kill or maim any of the big shit around here....and if she inconveniences the man who runs the chicken pit I consider that karmic fucking justice. The rabbits are his too. I have no idea what he does with all the rabbits.
-The amount of hunting dogs discarded on roadsides in appalachia is insane. If you want a dog..you can just drive up the bluegrass highway whistling.

For a thread that should be full of photos, there's a hell of a lot of unnecessary words taking up too much space.
I went there, bitch.

Have you ever tried to teach a Beagle to walk on a leash, not to chase his nose wherever it takes him or really anything? They're great, if you're trying to sniff things out or just want to play. They're horrible to train.
You obviously know of what you speak. Never had one but I had a Dalmation. Attention span of a gnat.

That cats head looks like a perfect fit for this dogs mouth.
Getting pictures of her is an even bigger bitch than she is. If you take 20, 19 are a blur.
