Thank you Lori and everyone else. You have a good story too!!! But you're right about breeders - if a dog is not standard in any way, they take them out of the line. I guess it is a good thing and probably the responsible thing to do. But we could not be any happier with another Beagle. She is the sweetest, best behaved dog I've ever had - or seen for that matter. She has that prey drive and Dan takes her out into the field to let her run and trail rabbits, but she does not have to be on a leash in our yard. She sits on our deck with us, wanders the yard, not a barker (like many other Beagles) and is just generally a well trained dog. IT IS BOB - our shaggy guys who is the escape artist and just wants to see what is out there in the neighborhood. It is because of him that Dan has had to fence in the back, and Bob still manages to scale the fences or dig under them. He's a real scamp. He is a REAL SCAMP that one!
