Title: Re: Beagles and hogs Post by: scdogman on December 19, 2009, 05:00:23 am Beagles just aren't as fast as big dogs. When they are used for deer hunting in the southern eastern part of the US, they are used on smaller tracts to push the deer at a slower speed. They are hard working, will cold trail and will run all day, but they lack track speed.
Since most agree that speed kills hogs in one way or another, why go with a dog that is known to be slower. OUT Title: Re: Beagles and hogs Post by: BULLMASTER on December 19, 2009, 10:32:23 am I have been raising Beagles for over 30 years and would have no problem using them if I could find one that wouldnt open on a track.As far as the quickness of the Beagles go I have seen some 15 inch Beagles out of Louisiana that are some runners that could ALMOST keep up with my Walkers.I think if you looked around you could find some fast dogs but I think it would be almost impossible to find one that wouldnt shake the acorns of the trees when he opened on a track.When it comes to rabbit dogs you have two types of hunters,some like a dog that almost walks a track and then guys like me like them blasting through the woods.If you decide you want to try one pm me and I can put you in touch with some guys that have some fast running stock.
