hounds [BANNED TEXT] should they sound

[Guest RAB.MCKAY]

had the hound out the day ,walked him across the mountain through heavy marshy bogy fields.

Dog followed scents then he was away, could see him quartering the cover knew he was at something , then after 5 min dog took off across 2 fiElds roaring.

Should he of sounded as soon as he was on A fresh scent or was he al right.

All advise well come i,ve done very little work with hounds.

YES, beagles and other scent hounds like them will sound when they are on a scent as they are pack hunters. You ever heard a pack of fox hounds running? Right noisy beggars!

 

There were a few beagles at the lure coursing I was at last month and they yelled the whole way round, whereas all the lurchers (even including mine!) and deerhounds were totally silent.

 

As far as I know there is absolutely nothing you can do about the noise, it is bred into them.

[Annmarie09 5]

Or have I totally missed the point, are you talking about a noisy lurcher and calling him a beagle?? :wacko:

 

Sorry, lurchers should be silent.

If he's a beagle then he should be hunting mostly on scent but also on sight, he should sound on either.

LOL, got you now! He should sound as soon as he's onto anything positive, to call the rest of the pack to him. Good luck with him, he sounds great, most of the beagles round here are fat, overfed and underworked pets and the owners can't understand why the dogs like to take off and do their own thing.

not all hounds will sound on scent

i would think that most bogs are full of scents so i would not expect a dog to sound too airly
