Yes a beagle would be the dog you need to run rabbits.when you get one make sure to start training him early about 5 to 6 months old.my beagle was a natural he started chasing and barking on the track at 5 mo. old. all one has to do is go where he kicked the rabbit out, and wait till he brings him around to you...after you shoot one for him your have a good dog from then on....make sure to pet him and praise him when he gets a rabbit and he will get you rabbits anytime.Jim]ORIGINAL: mossbergman11/OH

well i really like beagles and i would like to get a pure bred one or at least close to one. we have a lab/beagle mix now and she has treed coons before and is always chasing rabbits and also treed squirrels. i have never been rabbit hunting before but i would really like to. would a beagle be a good choice for me?
