I thought I had saw about every color of Beagle, but I recently saw Nutters Kennel website and saw some Redtick Beagles. Here's the question: most of the redtick breeders I have seen are AKC hunters, not UKC. Is anyone raising UKC registered Redtick Beagles? Question #2: How do the redticks compare to other beagles as far as field trialing go? I prefer the Hound/Hunter format myself. Just wondering how one would be for this type of UKC hunt.

Thanks for any and all your help.

The coloring has absolutely nothing at all to do with their hunting speed or style. There are tri colored hounds that run very very slow, brace style, and some that run like race horses and everything in between. Same for beagles with red ticks on them... I'm sure you can find some strains that run brace style and there are bound to be some strains that run real fast. Find the color you like then find a strain that runs the style you want. But the color never dictates the ability.

Me and a hunting buddy of mine, have ran this bloodline for a while now. I just had a litter of UKC registered redtick beagles, they are 19 days old now. Man it is one of the best looking litters I have had. But yeah it dont matter about the color, how they hunt. It is just we like the looks of a redtick, or bluetick beagle.

When I get some more beagles, I'm going to get some redticks. We're getting ready to move right now so I can go back to college, so I'm not sure I'll have time to hunt when I get down in the thick of it. I'll be looking for some, though in a couple years. I think they are good looking dogs.

would like to see pics of the 'redtick' beagles you speak of, never heard of them, i've heard of 'ticked' beagles, but aren't beagles supposed to be solid colored, like a mini-walker dog?? thats what mine looks like, grand show, won every show i put him in, the people around here have 'ticked' beagles and i aksed the judge why not those dogs, he said my dog has correct coloring

this is my pup, his names Tucker, forgot his show name cuz he's 6 and hasnt been shown sense he was about 2 1/2 and i dont remember where his papers are

Here is just a portion of the UKC official breed standard for Beagles:

"The Beagle has been referred to as "a foxhound in miniature." A smooth, short-haired hound; slightly longer than tall. Ears lay close to the head. Usually tri-color (black, white and tan), but all typical hound color combinations are acceptable."

All typical hound colors are acceptable, thats what it said. I'd say the judge you had didn't read the official breed standard very well. I'm not too interested in the shows anyway, I'm more interested in the hunt.

I didn't mean to imply they were any worse or better for the color as far as hunting goes, sorry if I did. I think they are good looking hounds. I just haven't seen too many redticks that are UKC registered or are being advertised as stud dogs, thats all. I'll be looking up some of you guys when I get back to it, so I can buy a pups or older dogs.

Thanks a lot for the info guys, maybe one of you will post some pictures of you dogs.

I saw Ray Bowmans redticks a couple of weeks ago and will have to say those were some of the best looking redticks I have seen. Personally, if you're into shows, I don't believe color should be the difference. Isn't it based on conformation? Not all beagles are tri-color. I know of a bunch of RED beagles that are either Show Champions or Grands. Anyway, there is good and bad in any color, color does not make the dog anyway, but a good looking dog thats a good rabbit dog just makes it that much better.

Here's a pic of a redtick female of mine. She has thrown many marked up like her over the years. Dolly has been one of the best gundogs and field trialing dogs to ever wear one of my collars. She was very fast as a young hound, and was always around the rabbit (good attention to line, not rough-running).
