BlackBuck 655 Posted February 9, 2015 Report Share Posted February 9, 2015 Stick to the beagle cross , more noise and will hold a line better than any spaniel . Why not consider a spaniel/ beagle cross or something similar ? Have seen a few of these cross hunt through the years , and had some good sport with them . Or even beagle/ terrier cross Quote Link to post

Or even beagle/ terrier cross have seen a spaniel bitch work fox that had a lot of tounge when on a very fresh footing and her mother was a full spaniel also was a very good bitch but sometimes barked at rabbits. And have also seen a beagle x wheaton x lakeland. Very good bitch in cover lot of dog and put its fox or hare under pressure but she also wanted to dig the fox lol he has his mind set on a spaniel but hopefully I could convince him to go the spaniel beagle direction. Just hard to getthat cross? Quote Link to post
