Ron, how old is your dog? Is it the same one you had when I picked up my Shrew back in 02'? You had a beagle doing tricks as I recall. :laughing:
QuoteNice pup, Ron, but I see that she is shopping the competition! Is she looking for a new Addiction?
Nope that was before they were around. Besides she's smart enough to know that she'd end up in the Pound if she did somthin like that... :D
QuoteRon, how old is your dog? Is it the same one you had when I picked up my Shrew back in 02'? You had a beagle doing tricks as I recall
That was Maggie that did all the tricks, she was a real smart beagle too. Dolly is only 4 and a half years old.
Dolly goes to hunting camp with me. One night she chased off a bear that came into camp to investigate our deer pole.

Our dawg doesn't have his own bow or quiver. But he does have his own chair so he can keep watch for elk (when this pic was taken a few days ago there were between 35-40 roosies in the backyard).
this is an old picture where i had a trail cam and i brought the "pee" crew for an experiment!

With that had, she looks like a northern Minnesota version of a gangster.
Dolly likes to ride on the machines. Whenever she hears the motor start she comes running and jumps on.
(http://www.shrewbows.com/rons_linkpics/A%20dogs%20life.JPG)
She even rides on the floorboard of the scooter when I make runs to the store or Post Office. I park the bike and tell her "STAY" people stop and talk to her when I'm inside and kids even walk up and pet her but she sits right there waiting for me. Some people think beagles are stubborn and won't mind, I've never found that to be the case with the beagles that I've had.

Thanks guys. It is Bill, she was a wonder to work with after those dang pointers. Pointers are for young men to train. Haha.
Nice Dawgs everyone, I haven't had a beagle since I was about 15, I had a pair of them spent alot of saturday afternoons running rabbits. That was alot of fun. Enjoy those dawgs!

I don't bird hunt anymore so Parker is wasted on me a bit, but he is the best retriever I've had. He does not give up looking for whatever you throw for him. Just a fantastic scouting companion and shed finder. I wish I would have had the camera along the other day when he spent 5 mins. digging out a shed antler froze under 6 inches of snow in a deer bed. The best dog of the 9 I've had so far.

Great pics, I love them all.
I lost two of my favs this past year (old age):
"Sloopy"
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v689/ber643/0313/sloopy1997.jpg)
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v689/ber643/0313/SloopySackout.jpg)
and "Kissie" - the fat, Chocolate Chihuahua (with "Taffy")
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v689/ber643/0313/KissieTaffyCouchTaters.jpg)
That left us with only 3 (and two volunteer cats) Mocha - thin Choclate Chihuahua , Taffy - Buff Chihuahua, and Camo Dog - half Beagle/half Australian Sheppard that wears desert camo colors.
Well you know we couldn't stand that too long so, two weeks ago today, we got another addition - but the only thing he hunts is food and the grown dogs (and cats) to harass, they all spend most of their time hiding from the "new kid on the block" these days - FOR NOW - LOL
"Bozo" - Paint Chihuahua:

Ron, your beagle likes to ride your atv; so does mine! Hoback used to like to chase rabbits, but he has become a bit more sedate in his old age (he's 13). (http://i886.photobucket.com/albums/ac67/peastes/5b6caae7.jpg)
We're on our second Beagle and find the breed to be fantastic friends and family. This guy, Tucker, is very interested in everything. Start into something and he's got his nose right in there. Catches mice, chipmunks and squirrels. A hound dog on the squirrels.
We live in an old farm house, so the odd mouse is in here with us. Got up the other day, cat was trying to catch one, but like a cat likes to wait for her chance. Tucker charges in, grabs the mouse and then out the back door with it. Gotta get that out of the way before the wife gets up! Good boy!
Thank God for Dogs...mans best friend.

Great thread Ron. Enjoyed all the pictures. My Terriers are only puppies but sure do love to chase the squirrels that cross our yard. The squirrels have learned that only the quick survive.

"Beau"
He never came to me when I would call
Unless I had a tennis ball,
Or he felt like it,
But mostly he didn't come at all.
When he was young
He never learned to heel
Or set or stay,
He did things his way.
Discipline was not his bag
But when you were with him things sure didn't drag.
He'd dig up a rosebush just to spite me,
And when I'd grab him, he'd turn and bite me.
He bit lots of folks from day to day,
The delivery boy was his favorite pray,
The gas man wouldn't read our meter,
He said we owned a real man-eater.
He set the house on fire
But the story's long to tell.
Suffice it to say that he survived
And the house survived as well.
On the evening walks, and Gloria took him,
He was always first out the door.
The Old One and I brought up the rear
Because our bones were sore.
We would charge up the street with mom hanging on,
What a beautiful pair they were!
And if it was still light and the tourists were out,
They created a bit of a stir.
But every once in a while, he would stop in his tracks
And with a frown on his face look around.
It was just to make sure that the old one was there
And would follow him where he was bound.
We are early-to-bedders at our house--
I guess I'm the first to retire.
And as I'd leave the room he'd look at me
And get up from his place by the fire.
He knew where the tennis balls were upstairs
And I'd give him one for awhile.
He would push it under the bed with his nose
And I'd fish it out with a smile.
And before very long
He'd tire of the ball
And be asleep in his corner
In no time at all.
And there were nights when I'd feel him
Climb upon our bed
And lie between us,
And I'd pat his head.
And there were nights when I'd feel his stare
And I'd wake up and he'd be sitting there
And I'd reach out my hand and stroke his hair.
And sometimes I'd feel him sigh
And I think I know the reason why.
He would wake up at night
And he would have this fear
Of the dark, of life, of lots of things,
And he'd be glad to have me near.
And now he's dead.
And there nights when I think I feel him
Climb upon our bed and lie between us,
And I pat his head.
And there are nights when I think
I feel that stare
And I reach out my hand to stroke his hair,
But he's not there.
Oh, how I wish that wasn't so,
I'll always love a dog named Beau.

Nice thread I've got a bit of a soft spot for beagles myself.I bow hunted bunnies often enuff that my older beagle would get excited when I got my longbow out and since his nose is currently broke due to a nasal tumor I'm working on a young pup Thanks for the thread its been very enjoyable
Sure does, I tear up every time I read that poem by Mr Stewart. It reminds me of the dogs I have loved who are gone, running and playing in fields of clover, waiting for me in Heaven.♥
Glenn, thanks for the poem. It brought back memories of my Kodie. It's good to know there are others out there that feel the way i do.
You're welcome.

My dog can act Shakepeare. To pee or not to pee, that is the question. Actually all dogs are characters, and I'm thankful to have had a few to enrich my life. Rocky, my English Springer was huge, 85# and could fly through the air. He would point, flush, then swat the birds down with his paws for an instant kill. Proudly trot back with pheasant in jaw and drop at your boots. Brisket, my current pal, is a 70# English Bulldog who also thinks he can fly, just not as graceful as a Springer, but just as loving. He spends his days sleeping, sleeping, eating, sleeping, and munching on ice cubes.
We just got "Charlie" in early December. He's a rescue from a local shelter... was found roaming the streets with another dog pal. He's a mix of Jack Russel & Pug... 11 lbs. ... I'm thinking maybe he could at least help me find a blood trail and track down deer. He's kind of a "wuss" though... he doesn't like the cold. :rolleyes:

Here is gus on retrieve.
Ron,
Your beloved breed, the beagle, just won second place in the hound group at the Westminster Dog Show. Family tradition for us, we watch it every year. Several years ago on opening night I picked the winner, a German Short Hair as soon as she walked in the ring. She won 1st place overall.
Tessy 9 y.o. Springer (after Val). Don't think you;re going stumpin w/o her. She retrieves arrows.., even when you don't want her to.

Toby and Zeke, Yeh, that's a quail in his mouth :)
(http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y295/jkmolongbow/4crop1.jpg)
Belle, Luke and Gabe. Luke's got 'em nailed
Your bird dogs are beautiful on point John. Toby pointing with the dead quail in his mouth is something most bird hunters will not see in their lifetimes. I have owned literally dozens of the pointing breeds and only owned one dog that did that and he did it many times.
I really enjoy seeing pics of dogs period. Dogs give unbounded love and are loyal to their dying day. We can learn a lot from them.
Here is a picture of my killer....a Deutsch Drahthaar. She's only a year old and I am loving chasing birds with her so far. Shows some serious promise.
