My son's beagle, Lola is visiting for the week while he and his wife are escaping law school for a few days. Lola has never had any training as a hunting dog at all. This morning I let her out to take care of business. She immediately jumped a rabbit and took off after it like a bullet baying at the top of her lungs. She ran the rabbit in a large circle right to me just as if she had been doing all her life. The rabbit ran under the lattice work and lived to run another day.
I just love to watch a hunting dog work and hear them sing. It's amazing that the years of selective breeding have instilled an instinct to perform with out a lick of training. This may just be a Tennessee thing.

I love hunting dogs myself. I prefer a Treeing Walker. Some are better than others. I love to hear a cold nosed female track....

I miss own them. Thanks for reminding me. :)

 
Have kept a small pack of hunting beagles for the past almost 20 years.  There is practically nothing I would rather do than turn them loose in a cutover near an agricultural field and hear them run, hoping to get the shot when b'rer rabbit briefly breaks cover.  Crisp morning; good dawgs; a couple of friends; the anticipation as the dogs get closer; and the sound of an occasional shot.........................doesn't get much better than that.
 
I used to have beagles years ago. It was in the country and if they ever got loose it was about 3 days before I could get them back home again.
But, you could hear them all night long on rabbits. It is a sound that we will hear in heaven!  IMO

I couldn't agree more. For a moment there I was taken back to cool Nov. Sat. mornings with my dad and uncle. the sound of the dogs on the trail like heavenly music to a Tennessee boy.

The dog in the neighbor's yard barks all night.  The neighbor won't do anything about it. 

So I stole the dog and put it in my yard.  Let's see how the neighbor likes THAT.
 
Sometimes after I've been on my feet all day, my dogs really start barking.
