Working on getting each of my children a Derby for next year.

Because I'm getting tired of racing club dogs! Don't matter how good your dog is not how bad the club dog is! You've lost before you ever showed up!! Most of the time anyway.

So I figure I'll just get each of a dog that is same class and just run against each other!?

Lol

Last trial dog that beat pookie literally left the track to go back to club house, was carried back, then licked boots the remainder of race! They called end of series and broke for lunch. They disqualified my dog.

I'm still trying to figure how! At the very least mine kept hunting while the other one quit to go pick boots!

Club dog!!!!!!!!

Some fine looking hounds love the dark ones. I use to have some good beagles lost the best dog I ever had about 8 years ago haven't had any since. I sure miss listening to a pack running a rabbit.

My best rabbit dog I got as a puppy when I was 14. She was a boot licker wouldn't open up on trail more than a bay or two and would not track much more than 50 yards before coming back for a few years. I was a jump shooter and she was my dog so I always took her anyway.

One day she opend up and ran over a hill into the spoil banks. She balled tell she was out of ear shot. I was getting scared after 10 to 15 min of not hearing her. Then I heard her coming back. It took a while and I was still worried but she got closer I was relieved. Suddenly about 50 yards out ther was a rabbit shooting across. I was shocked and missed the first two shots rolled it on the 3rd. A short tim later another was blazing down the same trail. I didn reload and missed my final shot out of my Remington lw20 870. I walked to the rabbit I hit hung it in a tree and stood back. My girl came right down the track and ran that remaining rabbit for a long time tell it went into a hole.

After that she was a rabbit running machine. She never ran a deer, but would not check up or run with other dogs. She was to slow for trials. She would tree squirrels due to me shooting a few out over top of her and she would get excited and flush quail. Those things I liked.

I hunted her for years. We moved and didn't have our pens set up yet so she stayed at my in laws tell I got set up. She got out and was running a rabbit when she was hit by a car. I will never get another rabbit dog that could measure up even if it was a better rabbit dog. I love watching dogs work but don't believe I will ever have any again due to lack of time. I'm busy deer and squirrel hunting from Oct- jan 5 and in trapping and I have no time to run a dog. Season is out at the end of February so it's not worth keeping a dog for a month of hunting. It's not fair to the dog to not bee ran 9 months of the year and if not ran hard would not be worth hunting over anyway.
Now I just need a friend or two with good dogs so my boys can experience the joy of hunting with hounds.

I ran beagles for years, nothing better than a pack of around 5 to lite up the woods. What type of dog do you run? We ran some AKC and ARHA trials for awhile and had a blast.
One rule we had when hunting was no jump shooting, rabbit had to circle at least once before you could take a shot. Probably the best all around dog I had was a 13" bluetick from
Canada, medium speed hunt hard and refused to run trash, sure miss that ole gal!

Love those blueticks. The wife brought a pair home last year. I think their blue ticks came from a grandparent coon hound as one weighs 45# and his brother weighs 35#. They will be a year old in a few weeks and they run rabbits well for picking it up on their own.

The best all around hound I ever hunted behind was my brothers 16" big beagle. Dad had two lines small, including some 8", rabbit dogs and the big beagle deer dogs.

My brothers dog, Smokey Joe, was as good a cold nosed pick it up where it walked yesterday to jump it out of its bed jump dog as I've ever seen. When paired with his head up run to catch daughter Restless no deer was safe. You had to shoot the deer or get between the dogs and the deer with a net. They were deadly once locked on a trail. They got left in the woods many times.
Old Smoke was also a half way decent squirrel dog as well running the squirrel to the tree and following a timber in one until we caught up with him. He wouldn't lock down though as soon as we arrived at the tree he would be off to get another one. He also had the sense to know what we were after as well since we went south for deer and squirrel hunted around the house where we didn't have any deer.
Never saw him run a rabbit but he would booger bark if he jumped one while working out a deer or squirrel.

His mother, my dog Belle, was the same way though not as good a nose.

I'd love to find some of the old 8" beagles, not the modern teacup mutts. We had one old female that was an incorrigible trash runner so we threw her in with the big beagles. It was the funniest thing to have the big dogs blow past with Queenie giving it all she had to keep up.

Those small dogs could get into the nastiest of brush piles and briar patches.
