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.
