Molly was our very first beagle and came from Joe Peavler of Hill Country Kennel in Oklahoma. She's out of a cross that produced some excellent beagles.
Molly is 13-1/4" tall.
She's a super-fast, hard hunter and easy to handle. Unfortunately she had to be spayed before we ever got a litter from her.
Update July '07: Molly suffered a back injury which has reduced the amount of time she gets to spend as the leader of our pack, but she still gives 110% when we do cut her loose.
Kody is UKC and ARHA registered and is officially measured at 13-1/4" tall.
Kody also came from Joe Peavler.
He has an excellent nose and hunts a little slower than Molly. He is a rock solid little bundle of muscle.
When he's not hunting he enjoys sleeping on the back of the couch and playing with his toys.
Update Nov '03: Kody was entered in his first (and so far only) UKC hunt and show. He was second place on his cast with 100+. He didn't catch the eye of the judge in the show, but he sure got some nice compliments from fellow beaglers and spectators.
Squirt is our third beagle from Joe Peavler. She has a ton of attitude and isn't afraid to use it! She prefers to run hot tracks or sight races, especially on jacks. She'd rather let the other dogs grub out a colder track but will be right there when it heats up.
Update Jan '06: Squirt is hunting good now and runs with a high-pitched chop/squall mouth that really carries! She has been on both cottontail and jacks and has a really good nose as well as a lot of speed.
Star is the pup we kept from the first litter of beagles whelped here at Chisum-Trail Kennel. She's a slower hunter and will take cottontail tracks as readily as jacks, just like her dad.
Update Aug '07: Star is doing good on jackrabbits and is ready to go as soon as the shotgun comes out.
