After reading some of the posts on here, I wonder if we have really forgotten what the sport of beagleing is all about. We have been given the chance, by many associtations to compete our dogs. But we have forgotten about the dogs, the one's that give their very best every time we turn them loose.
We have been given a set of rules by each associatation, to go by, but have turned, twisted and even used them to our advanatage. This has cost a lot of us a loss friendships, antimosity, and desention amongst our selves and our clubs.
If we don't take a good look at our SPORT, we probably won't really have to worry about it, because with all the anti's, the laws being changed, that we keep turning our heads on and saying that doesn't effect me or us, we won't be able to do any of the hunting we like.
So I'm asking all of us to just let our little four legged friends, buddies and pals, do what they have always done for us, without any questions. Have We Forgotten it's all about them,not us.

Great post Thornie, I stopped coming to the hunts because I wasn't having fun win or lose i just wanted to enjoy the day to meet different peaple an run are dogs. Winning to me was something extra. It got to the point were everybody wanted to better there dogs papers.It would be nice if winning or losing didn;t mean so much.
