Trust me when beagle cross dogs go, you wont be keeping up on foot, in the past i have seen them more than once catch out in the open Id say the wee hounds are cheaper to keep, take alot less space to keep... these are the two main reasons id say Quote Link to post

Buch 145 Posted January 3, 2010 Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 Why cross the beagle with a spaniel or a terrier? Is it just to bring the size down because the beagles ive seen have been pretty small. Im loving this part or THL as ive always wanted to learn more about hounds. Every ones got bonny looking dogs.

Every ones got bonny looking dogs. i'd guess yes, to bring the size down to hunt very thick cover. Also maybe the spaniel may mean they range less far. Terrier blood might add a little bit of fire too. Quote Link to post

I breed my russell bitch to a beagle x to bring the size up abit stop them going to ground so there faster in cover to drive there preay out looked at diffrent x but for me the beagle was the best lots of fire character and a great nose plus you dont have to wait all day for them they have made 17 to 17 and a half tts racey type's Quote Link to post
