Got my beagle as a family pet. Knew they were hunting dogs but didn’t realize how strong their sense of smell is. Learned quick that it’s nothing like walking non hunting dogs. So interesting/entertaining watching them go into hunting mode even on a walk through the neighborhood

[@minnowstomonsters8462]

After dachshunds, beagles and labs I can't have a dog that isn't a natural hunter, not only are they so useful for hunting and tracking but the love in their hearts is the best!

[@h0m1ess]

I realized they were strong when my non trained (not for hunting) beagle sniffed out baby rabbits under ground and dug up the babies up and held one of the baby’s in its mouth then let it go then we got him

[@tannertolson]

My 9 month old is such a sweet sniffer “walking nose “. They are so very good with kids.

[@bluetickbeagles116]

I don’t hunt with Beagles but I LOVE BEAGLES!! I love watching them hunt, bay, sniff, lay on the couch., etc. BEST DOGS EVER!!!

I hav 2 beagles one is a hunting one and the other is in training.. they love running through the fields together

I dont hunt with mine either but he is the most spoiled part of my family

[@ronhunt9396]

I wouldn't rabbit Hunt with out a beagle. It's the sound and watching the hound work way more then shooting rabbits. I've had my 27acres and 14 acre pen since 1995. Never shot a rabbit on my property

[@SN00PICUS]

Beagles are just an all around good dog. As long as you keep them active they do well anywhere.

[@amyosborne4126]

I have a house beagle, but it is bred into them, and i believe that she could hunt. It just comes naturally to them, and their noses are incredible. My husband refuses to hunt with her because he knows that if something were to happen that i would be upset. He is a smart man. She is my dog and my child.

[@josea.martinez2234]

These dogs are a beast at hunting rabbits I live in Virginia and sometimes we have rabbits in our back yard and when my beagle sees the rabbit his instincts kicks in and it's a amazing sight to see.

[@christopherchapman7186]

That’s awesome! I just got a female beagle pup she’ll be 3 months on the 12th of this month and she comes from a family of hunters which I do plan to hunt rabbits with her.

[@rudygeorgiamulesandcountry1594]

There is nothing that compares to that first moment that a young hound takes off on that first rabbit on their own.

[@user-rc1qq9pn7k]

You have to be patient with young beagles starting out

[@Clintstagram]

I don't hunt with my Beagle because she's a Pocket Beagle. But man I love watching a Beagle get trained to run some game. That little "yark" they screech out is priceless. And what a great facility to use those trees that way! Re-use at its finest. Great video!

[@geekguitars]

I have a little blue tick beagle. She's my puppy for sure. She's always ready to run a rabbit!! And I do mean always!!

[@doughesson]

My Dachshund can't keep up with Beagles but she can hang back to kill a rabbit on her own when it circles back. The Beagles often look at their humans as if to ask "How come she gets to kill the rabbit?" Bella's real tight mouthed but Jelly Bean will bellow if she even smells a rabbit or squirrel out there.

[@barbaraprokup410]

Just treat those beagles with respect and do not hurt or harm them in any way. They are beautiful dogs to love. They are the best dogs ever.

[@naiyang888]

🤦‍♂️ Those dogs are fine. There are kids in the world that are in cages and getting killed you know? Coming from a multi-dog owner, take your babying elsewhere. Yuck.

[@NASkeywest]

These dogs love tracking. The dogs are taken great care of

[@charlesfredrick4789]

The hatred I have for fauci, and what he did to those beagles. Cannot be put in mere words.

[@thomasdempsey8011]

I lost the last 2 of my beagles in 2020 they were 17 years old and active right until the end eli had a stroke that killed him and dusty had cancer they were my best buds from day 1 great with the grandkids I trained them to not howl in the house but when they got on something they would howl like crazy I got 2 puppies when I retired and I love them great companions you need to know what you are getting into when you get beagles im an outdoors guy and they love it

[@jim_dubhglas]

Fantastic dogs. Their noses are something else and that alert they give off with a high tail flag... great rustlers! I've had 2 over the years. You seem like a good fella and I appreciate that. Hope you don't retire any by leaving them in the bush or giving them a bullet. I'd make any of your retirees a home here in Canada. Cheers!

[@garrettw3602]

I have a bluetick beagle I never trained a day to hunt but he can sniff out any small mammal and just get after it. He's brought me moles, rabbits, whistle pigs, a couple squirrel, even a feral cat once. He's a natural born beast

[@paulsherrod1365]

Two of the hardest things about rabbit dogs for me was teaching not to run deer and to come in when I call them in.

[@lwandooyama5310]

Unlike me , I hunt all small game and big game but to be specific I hunt Foxes/deers/rabbits and a few more but the hounds really love chasing rabbits because they are possible to catch unlike deers/fox which takes them about 7hrs chasing it and still the kill is not guaranteed ... but ""its not about the thrill of the kill its about the sound of the hound""

[@raveenajayaraman7844]

@@lwandooyama5310 beagles in the first place shouldn't be used for hunting deers/foxes

[@Dobberjones]

[@lewismorris5931]

@@raveenajayaraman7844 beagles are the best for deer where I live in the south. Had a pack of 8 that you couldn’t beat! Deer are not wide open running, they are just trying to stay in front of them!

[@christophjanssen9324]

@@raveenajayaraman7844 Why? If it works, it works. I doubt the foxes, but hounds can always do a lil chasing. With a 2nd dog, maybe a bigger one or a Terrier, in combo, the 2nd one could grab it, if that is what the hunter wants, can shoot after it as well and just use the Beagle for driving it out of the bushes etc. Dont know but in my country we use our dogs for multipurpose- of course we dont use a Beagle for what it cant do, but they can hunt deer like other hounds on driven hunts n they also can chase em foxes a lil. We can only use em for rabbits up to a certain land size by law, thats why their purpose was widened onto deer and maybe boars (only chasing- Wont do anything else, Beagles after all, but thats what the Terriers can do).

The problem I have with my Beagle Max is his brain goes haywire and just disappears. No amount of calling will convince him to return. Thankfully he has found his own way home, or back to me each time. Someone told me to just stop where I am and he will return, not true. Max has just returned once to me when I stayed in the spot I lost him. I NEVER have him off lead now. Max is 7 and I've had him 5 years.

[@christophjanssen9324]

Were you able to archieve that? E collars arent a thing in my country, not really, so in any way Ive gotta do without (wether or not I want to or not), and am trying, have tried for a long time, but getting a Beagle to recall while hunting seems nothing short of impossible.
