John, I like the straight rabbit size beagle, not a walkie talkie, but gundog beagles. Handle good, take brairs well, pack up on one with a small feed bill and less gas in truck. The only thing I wish I could improve is a louder mouth. On real windy days, it is tuff to hear them. I always thought about crossing a straight black and tan female with a rabbit size black back beagle for more mouth. Raised a litter off a female beagle and a half beagle, half bluetick this past year (quarter bluetick)and they are pretty darn loud. If, people would switch to better handling dogs, we wouldn't have as many issues as we have today. I had walkers for years and was ready to quit, I switched to beagles and it has been nothing but joy. Turn them out, deer killed, load them up and repeat. enough said.

Gotcha James.....the list of different dogs was getting large. I was waiting for bassetts, pugs and black labs! LOL...good luck man-
