Anyone have a Beagle?

[Crankyshank]

Running with a beagle is very ambitious. It's not so much that they will drag you all over the place, but they will be constantly stopping to smell everything. But again, some dogs are better than others. Still I can't say that I have ever witnessed anyone running with a beagle intentionally

My female is a very involved sniffer. She will sniff every blade of grass and she really has a mind of her own. When she decides she is done walking and would rather meditate upon the squirrels and rustling leaves, she stops. Even if in the middle of a walk. And she will not resume walking until she is ready. So she doesn't go with me on my routine walks My male will somewhat heel in a beagley manner because he likes to take everything in instead of focusing on one scent, and he is eager to mark the next tree. So we walk fairly quickly.

That's the funniest, truest thing I've read today!

Sure....I run with my beagle ...especially when there is a bunny down the road.

Want to hear something funny? There was a time....aahhh, we were so naive.....when we thought it would be fun for our beagle to run alongside us (on leash) as we rode bike 'Nuff said

We've even had to carry our Desi during a walk! She's fat and lazy, and when she's done, she's done! Sometimes I think we should just take a wagon with us for her, LOL! And yes, the boys have to pee on every tree, fire hydrant, telephone pole, bush, etc. Each walk is a new and never-ending adventure for a beagle.
