I have the opportunity to get an adult female beagle for free. I'm probably going to get her anyway just because she's a pretty dog and would make a fine buddy in my lonesome apartment but I'd like to try to get her running rabbits. Nobody can give me a straight answer on how old she is so I can't provide that information. I just wanted to ask how possible it was before I wasted a lot of time and effort on just confusing the ol' gal.
Also, is it possible to make a rabbit dog and a deer blood tracker out of the same animal?
PS - I'm a total newbie to this, please be kind

and also note this is an entirely different dog than the one mentioned in my last post. That little guy fell through
