J&M, You are about to enter a field where many brave men fear to tread!!! "Just kidding", but beag pups & even "souphound" pups like Homer the huge can be a "handfull"! Most of my family have owned beags or walker hounds that were adopted. I am the first one in the family that has raised not one, but two dogs from early puppyhood! :thumbup: Since you are new here I will state that Goober is my first one that is nearly 15 yrs old & Homer-the-huge is nearly 5. I doubt that any scenario/incident will surprize me...& I will most likely have a good solution @ hand to help you! :thumbup: Welcome to the club/board! :thumbup:
