Suggestions & Advice

[jimmy ballard jr]

I have a pup that is kinda mouthy here and there in spots, mostly when it comes to the second or third check, Now i have the notion to put her with one dog that has her similar hunting style but not mouthy at all and run her for a good number of times to get her to settle down as opposed to how ive been running her with a pack which probably was getting her all getty and excited, if anyone has any suggestions let me know please???

It is a hard thing to do when you have several hounds but I think she needs to run by herself and often.

Yeah i thought she might need to be soloed aswell, but i think with the pack she isnt getting enough rabbit, i have a dog that im going to brace with her first tonight just to see

Be careful running right now i killed 3 rattlers and 1 cotton mouth this week.

Lately ive been letting the dogs jump their own swamper, but sense im going to braceing these two dogs for a while i will ride around and look to see a swamper sitting out! We dont have Rattlers up in this area, but Cottonmouths and Moccassins are around!

I don't see a high maintenance hound here. I see a responsible houndsman.

I call them high maintenance when they have to be ran more than others to perform correctly.

A pup?

[jimmy ballard jr]

I usually dont like that myself, but i see something in this hound,and its not like me to shy away from a lil work! If the beagle dont turn out like i plan, atleast i gave it a try, im not going to abandon the dog because of a insecurity, im going to try and help the dog learn and better itself! What if you were abandoned for haveing a flaw at a young age?

That is what I enjoy the most. Working with young hounds!
