well 00Buck
I wish you were closer to me, as I might have been able to hook you up
A friend of mine passed away today, and he just got a female beagle about 2 yrs ago or less
came from champion blood lines
BUT was never trained to hunt, but was a great looking beagle and had a hell of a nose on it, I think could have been able to still turn it into a good hunting dog
as my buddy's wife never liked the dog, so I am pretty sure she will be looking to get rid of it
so, if you were close, I could maybe get it for you for free if you would be interested
but way up here in PA< thats more likely not something your interested in
but IF??
