A friend of ours was delivering a piece of furniture to a guy out in the country and he had the shotgun in hand to put down this 15lb female beagle because she won't hunt rabbits, according to him. Covered in fleas and dirt, she was off to the vet...

 

Now with all her shots, a good bath and she was spayed Tuesday; we'll try to find her a home. Had never set foot in a house before, was scared of everyone and still cowers when approached. Very quiet, but loves running around the yard.

 

Hopefully we'll find her a good home. It'll take nothing but time for her to trust again... but she's getting better everyday.

Nice looking dog. I have a beagle too. Not for hunting just a good ole house dog. Besides the shedding he does. Country folks always said beagles are used for hunting only. No talking to them or nothing. Not the first time I've heard of someone wanting to shoot there beagle because they wouldn't hunt anymore.

I breed raise train hunt and field trial akc beagles. And all us rabbit hunters aren't like that. That guys a sorry excuse. If for some reason it doesn't turn into a hunting dog we find a home for it. We don't have this problem very often though. We breed for a purpose not just to watch them fug. Good luck with the beagle they are awesome dogs. She's a good looking beagle

We'll find a good home for her once we can get her settled and a little more trusting. She trembles a lot and the slightest loud noise or sudden movement has her cowering. She's getting better by the day and we're working with a local animal advocate once she's ready for a new home.

 

My question is this... she's less than 12" tall; are there varying sizes of beagles and are there different names for those sizes? Admittedly, this is the smallest dog we've fostered and I know very little about the breed.

The akc standard is 13" beagles and 15" beagles. To be considered 13" is to measure 13" or under there is no such thing as too small in that class. The 15"s have to measure over 13" and not over 15". If over 15 they are too large

Here's the latest pic...

 

She's actually trying to run with our 95lb Rotti-Husky-Dobie-St.Bernard mix and wagging her tail occasionally. She simply loves to be touched. I feel bad I have to leave for the weekend, but I think she's going to be okay and we'll likely begin searching for a suitable home next week.

I've been around a lot of beagles and have seen a handful that their heart just wasn't into hunting. The ones I've seen that want hunt normally are a very nervous shy type of dog. Don't know why it just happens sometimes sorta like posters majority post good stuff 1% post crap. Also I'd pay to see your beagle catch a wild rabbit while it's on a leash

Only happened once. We were in a little corner park just walking along. And she throws her head into a bush and comes out with a rabbit. Here rabbits are like mosquitos in the south

      The only thing I said was he was part of the staff that made part of the decisions, and that I am judging the decisions made by that group as a whole. As assistant GM, you can pretty much guarantee his input held more sway than an intern or the guy that takes coffee requests. Fitterer didn't operate in a vacuum. Neither does Morgan now. While Fitterer did have the ultimate decision, to say that Dan had no input in ranking boards, evaluating FAs, trade offers or anything else would be asinine. We all know he did. Otherwise what the hell was his job as assistant GM? He wouldn't have been kept for 3 years if he was arguing every decision Scott ever made.    And the actual quote was "Morgan has done a bang up job in the draft and FA. Compared to what the last guy did, he is kicking ass and taking names." So is XL kicking ass and Brooks taking names from last years draft or did I get it backwards? We took Wallace over Payton Wilson because he was an injury risk after trading up for a RB with a torn ACL? Which one of the kicking ass and taking names was that?  Maybe we should review the thousands of gameday posts calling for XL to get off the field because he's a bust and can't catch a cold. We could review the posts about Brooks but... And Wilson. He's at 118 tackles this season vs 36 for Wallace.  I gave credit to Dan for a good draft this year. But I'm also not ignoring last year's draft either since he did that one after the last guy too.  That's not a strawman.

      And then, in week 18, we can take Mayfield out of the game and whoop Bridgewater's @$$ for good measure! Let the former QB revenge train roll on!!

      If we keep our guards in tact ($$$) and go with Mays at C, some OT depth would be nice. I think we should be happy about CB with Thornton's development (pre injury) and Smith Wade. I think Ransom is developing nicely, but I would like to see a FS type for situations. We suck at ILB and Edge (as a whole). We should be OK at RB.  I hope we sign Dowdle to a short contract. QB?  There are signs of hope and development.  (I don't like our backup QB) TE?  Good draft for TE, but I think we are developing with Evans, Sanders, and Tremble. WR?  A #2 with Coker and Horn in the slot.  XL?  What is that? We should be good in 2026. Morgan does more than draft.  Free agency has been strong too.  (Just emptying my brain on your comment--sorry)
