Congrats, nice colors !
I just got a beagle as well. he is only 4 weeks old now, so will pick him up next month.
May I ask, what do you plan to hunt with him ? Im getting alot of disappointing advice on training him for waterfowl hunt.
Deer. I've had two beagles in the past that were great on deer.Quote:

They are not really suited to it and unless you have a big beagle 30+ pounds, they'll have trouble with a mallard.
Also, while they don't mind swimming a creek if they are on something, they are not made for water retrieving, especially in cold weather.
All that said - if its the only dog you have, you can try to train it. Beagles can be trained to retrieve, its the size of the duck and water retrieves I would be concerned with. Even if it doesn't pan out, you can still have a lot of fun training it and even if it does it - sort of, but poorly, I think you'll still feel good about it. But just remember, its not a spaniel and it's not going to retrieve like one.
Beautiful pup. Has a nice GSP style coat.
Enjoy
haha nice nice, cant wait to see more pictures of your little guy and his hunts in future.
Appreciate the feedback, Retrieving is not a huge deal, I always have a canoe or inflating boat with me, so as long as I can train him to be quite so I can just take him along eventually it would be perfect.
Congrats on the beautiful pup, really nice colour never seen a beagle that colour before
Oh ,I'm so jealous. Too old for a beagle now. My Dad and I bred and trained beagles for many years... wonderful years! Enjoy.
Cute pup. Congrats on the new addition.
