[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 3424334, member: 5412"] That critter is in dog heaven now. :clap3: I had beagles from the early 70's to the late 90's when rabbits became scarce around here. Nothing better than hearing them bay on a trail and then the pitch of the bay go up two octaves when in sight pursuit of the rabbit. Cotton tails run in circles after being busted by the beagles. Once they break the trail, all you had to do was stand there and the rabbit would come by. They have amazing noses, used by the USDA in airports to sniff out vegetables brought from out of country by travellers. My beagles could cut a rabbit trail, go one direction for about 10' and determine which direction the rabbit was moving, then change directions if necessary. Beagles have also been used to hunt pheasant. I know, sounds stupid but we killed a lot of pheasant behind my beagles. Common in some of the northern states. Pheasant have a similar smell to the dog like rabbit. It was easy to tell which the dog was trailing because pheasant will run in a straight line while the bunny's will always circle. Pheasant would rather run vs fly unless cornered. Ok, just some beagle trivia I thought I would share. You have a beautiful dog and it will be a family friend forever. :D [/QUOTE]
