Do you consider a beagle a sporting dog? Should it be should it not be?

I have looked in the magazine Sporting Dog and Gun Dog and I know that I haven' t seen every issue, but I haven' t seen a beagle or a story about rabbit hunting in any of them yet. Oh well. I guess that their are alot that don' t really consider them a sporting dog or a gundog. Or they just don' g think that beaglers buy there magazines. Thanks for letting me vent a little.

Some of my first memories of a " Sporting Dog" are beagles. My gramps used to have 4 of them. They were rowdy!

Those magazines are mostly aimed at upland bird hunters, although retrievers are often included in their pages. I wouldn' t feel slighted...they are just getting the most advertising dollars possible by targeting the bigger audience.

if you want articles on beagles, look at magazines aimed at tracking dogs. coonhound mags often have beagle articles. looking in gun dog and the journal would be like looking at shotgun journal for fishing articles.
i' m not saying beagles aren' t sporting dogs, they most certainly are, you are just looking in the wrong places. fur fish and game runs a few beagle articles a year, you might check them out at the racks.
