Or should that be Beagelers? How 'bout Fellow Beagle Owners. There. We were at the new 8 acre dog park in town and ran into a fellow Beagle fancier and he mentioned this site. I signed up as soon as I got home... We got our first Beagle, Belle (our girl, 13 inches) back in 2000 when she was but a year old or so. She had been given away countless times by countless owners. When we got wind of it, we decided to accept her, sight unseen. My wife and I spent the next several months coaxing her off of each others laps curing commercial breaks when watching TV so after a year of that, I decided to get myself a Beagle! The more the merrier...We found Tinker (our boy, coming in at 18 inches!) in 2001 on the Columbia Willamette club's site. They do great work. He was tied to a tree for his first two years while rocks and food came his way several times a week. It took a year or two to socialize him and get him to trust humans again, and he still has his off days, but he loves us. He is quite the loyal hound and follows me all around the house. We had never owned dogs before, and am glad we ended up with Beagles. These two hounds have changed our lives. We are childless, and they have given us unconditional love and made us both all the better. So, now that I'm all signed up, I can't wait to ask lots of questions and hopefuly answer some others. But for now, it's time to learn how to post pictures...I can't wait to share! Thanks everyone, be seeing you! ~Mark
