Let's Go !! LET's G-O!!!
Keven’s 2 Beagles are raring to go!! “The beagle on the left is Sam … aka “Scent-sational Sam”. He is a blue tick beagle. Daisy is a combination of the traditional small size tri-color & blue tick beagle. They are both very smart and very social! Beagles are one of the few hunting dogs that need little training and instinctively track rodents - which in Edmonton is a challenge - because of all the jackrabbits. When they get a scent, they yodel a very distinct loud howl that any hound owner will recognize. A good hunting beagle will track as long as he has a scent, without end. I can attest to the fact that with a scent, Sam has no thought other than–”Lets go! Let’s hunt! I got a scent! A-woooooo!”
DID YOU KNOW? Alongside the Bloodhound, the Beagle has one of the best developed senses of smell of any dog. Beagles are better at ground-scenting (following a trail on the ground) than they are at air-scenting. The long ears and large lips of the Beagle probably assist in trapping the scents close to the nose.
