We've shown our own dogs in the conformation ring for almost twenty years and specialize in two Hound breeds: Beagles and Harriers. Our ribbons, championships, movie stars, and best-in-shows have given us insights we're delighted to share. Enjoy the website! Over the past year we've built a state-of-the-art kennel that's our pride and joy. You can click here to see some photos.
Also, a puppy
we breed for show who doesn’t meet
show standards (frequently, this means they're too
friendly and not assertive enough in the ring) becomes available as a pet, so
we’ve included tips on
becoming a
puppy parent. |

Atlanta Journal-Constitution ran a story
featuring some of our comments about beagles on Feb 24, 2008. The following
is an excerpt:
Uno, the
award-winning beagle that snared best in show at the Westminster
Kennel Club Dog Show on Feb. 12, may have a lot of people thinking
about bringing home their own little Snoopy. And while that's a
great idea, be sure you know what you're getting if you decide to
make a beagle part of the family.
That's because beagles are scent hounds, and once they catch a scent, they're off, chasing that rabbit or squirrel, often to the dog's detriment. They often get lost or, worse, hit by cars, because they are oblivious when hunting, Beagles also are high energy dogs that are bred to be in packs, so they do wonderfully in a busy household, but do not do well alone. "A lonely beagle will try to escape or will make lots of noise," Shupenia said. And if you watched Westminster, you know that means ‘baying' not just barking. "You can hear it for miles' said Lisa Peterson, an AKC spokeswoman. Not all your neighbors may he fond of the sound. Beagles, like best in show Uno, are scent hounds, and once on the scent they are single-minded. And although beagles have short hair, they're still a double-coated breed, which means they shed a lot.
