Ideation 8,216 Posted May 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2014 From what I know . . . . some of the litter are used to hunt anything that moves, and others have gone to single species packs. Quote Link to post

I'd just got back from doing some work on the shoot, and a pick up I didn't recognise pulled up at my gate. . . . Out stepped a man (whose name i'll leave out), who I had met last summer at the Pelenna Valley hunt show, who had spotted my little hound and stopped me, telling me that he had bred the sire, and had a belly sister and brother to my bitch. We had a good chat, and I saw him once more last summer at another hunt show. Anyway, in came the pick up, and out of the back, jumped a scruffy terrier, and two cracking little hounds, immediately obvious relations to my bitch! We had a good chat in the sun, cuppa and sausage sandwich, and I learnt a lot about the history of my bitch, as the man had bred the line from the start. What a gent he was! So I can now tell you my bitch Gwen is on paper - 3/4 Beagle, 1/8 Teckel, 1/16 Cocker and 1/16 Russel. Her Dam was a Beagle bitch called Mango from the Claro Beagles in Yorkshire and her Sire was a dog called Fossil, who was 1/2 Beagle, 1/4 Teckel, 1/8 Cocker and 1/8 Russel. Her sire was bred by the man who visited today, out of a Beagle bitch from the Lonsdale Beagles and a dog called Bugle who was 1/2 Teckel, 1/4 Cocker and 1/4 Russel. Bugle was also bred by the man who visited today, and came from mating a Russel x Cocker bitch called Kate that he owned, to a registered Teckel originally from Nick Valentines pack, called Ryeford Merle, which he also owned. Sorry if that was a bit long winded, but I was fascinated and also a few folk have asked about her. Anyway, I had a great time today and enjoyed seeing the mans hounds, they were fine examples and I think he is onto a good thing, breeding his rough coated Beagles, I hope he gets where he wants with them . . . . I'm pretty pleased with where he's got so far, and look forward to seeing the hounds in action next year. If you are reading this. . . .It was a pleasure to meet you properly today Here are some photos of Gwen, Merlin, Music and Nettle the terrier. http://i1143.photobucket.com/albums/n623/Ideation123/IMG_5216_zps34a5d2f9.jpg http://i1143.photobucket.com/albums/n623/Ideation123/Ideation123012/IMG_5219_zps2696cfa4.jpg http://i1143.photobucket.com/albums/n623/Ideation123/Ideation123012/IMG_5236_zps25425f1a.jpg http://i1143.photobucket.com/albums/n623/Ideation123/Ideation123012/IMG_5246_zps3f6b6b58.jpg http://i1143.photobucket.com/albums/n623/Ideation123/Ideation123012/IMG_5247_zps00e99ca2.jpg http://i1143.photobucket.com/albums/n623/Ideation123/Ideation123012/IMG_5249_zps1786914f.jpg http://i1143.photobucket.com/albums/n623/Ideation123/Ideation123012/IMG_5252_zps9173513c.jpg useful looking dogs.
