RE: Looking to get into rabbit hunting with beagles
Purebred= junky dog in my opinion. My dog will smoke any purebred out there. I once killed8 rabbits and my dag killed 5 in 2 hours. Now that was a good day. THe only day that beats that is 4 rabbits, 2 ringnecks, a turkey in the afternoon, and 2 squirrels.

BEagle hunting is alot of work. Hundreds of hours are spent training them. Some of the best dogs i got were free or very cheap. Expensive dogs tend to be slow and not hunters. My dog line is the bigger beagle, with a big chest and shoulders. My one dog is probably close to 38 pounds. If i run her alot she goes down to about 28. But then she smokes them. THey are hauling the mail.

Only thing I'll 'agree' w/ you on, which you didn't say, is that papers don't run a rabbit, the dog does. I've owned and hunted w/ many a grade dog that could burn a rabbit up, but to make a comment like you did, again... total ignorance, or arrogance.
