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

      Some of you act like one can't learn from experience over time. Just because you may not know what you're doing in 2018 doesn't mean that you don't know what you're doing in 2025. Frankly, you grow from experience, and success and excellence gives first-time applicants the hand probably 99.999% of the time.

      It's an interesting topic of conversation as sports evolves. I think ultimately it would lead to a number of small market franchises folding though. Especially in the NBA where there are so many bad teams that have been bad for years and years in some cases already. But as it stands I think athlete pay draft or no draft aside has reached a point where we can and should realistically ask should they make that much compared to the average person. Now college athletes is a different conversation but even that reaches a breaking point. But we could go down the rabbit hole on this even further into overall entertainment and talk about actors making absurd sums too. In the end I think in sports the powers that be won't allow these changes to even be considered because it opens the door for so many other variables. But who knows how long sports like football will realistically be around after people like us pass on. We're only just now learning about things like CTE which the league and the sport in general will only be able to run away from for so long. As far as the NBA goes my understanding is viewership has been steadily going down for a number of reasons but one crucial aspect is key players missing so many games. The NBA has to figure that out regardless. Especially when considering fans who pay to see these athletes compete in person. But hey I guess let's just try to appreciate what we've got while it still exists in this form eh?

      I can't see a world where the money goes down, but maybe your lottery odds are now your contract numbers you can offer.  Thunder? You can offer Flagg 4 years, 20 million.  Hornets? You can offer Flagg 4 years, 80 million.  Some form of a system where the money is still there, but so is the freedom of choice (on top of bad teams getting *some* competitive advantage to signing them).
