Hooray (Ah-Roo!) for Beagles!

[Sheep In Wolf's Clothing]

I watched both days of the Westminster Dog show, much like every year, and was amazed by the quality of the dogs this year. I don't know why, but I was also amazed at the number of breeds that originated in Scotland. I have watched the WDS for years but never gave this point a second thought.
I digress, Hooray for Beagles, but all dogs are great. It was a great dog for a first breed win, lots of personality!!

As the proud owner of a big, bad, bodacious beagle babe, we (the dog and I) were very happy.

Usually winning the Westminster spikes a breeds popularity...hope that everybody who decides that they want a "cute little Snoopy" takes the time to learn about the breed before they make the commitment. Like all hounds, beag's are ruled by their noses and you have to make certain concessions and let 'em get their daily minimum requirement of being nosey or they get kind of edgy. And they do need their beauty sleep...one fella up in Minnesota once asks me, "Is that a good hunting dog?", to which I reply, "No...but she is a good sleeping dog...gets her eighteen hours a day in like clockwork."

Glad for the beagles...I've become a ratherr dedicated hound fan and all hounds are great companions.

Best
