“Sage” is 15 mos old and 15 3/8” tall at the withers. As such, she is ineligible for both conformation and field competitions.
Sage is available to a performance home and would make an excellent agility and Scentwork prospect! Loves to leap, and fantastic ground speed😂. Great nose, good recall. Sweet biddable temperament, and a great snuggler. Has been well started in the field and running rabbits.
Location Northern Virginia.

16 years ago today, the first Hare-Raiser litter was born. From that litter came "Timber", who is still with us today! He and owner Diane were a match made in heaven, excelling in every activity they attempted.

Timber is perhaps the most titled Beagle in the history of performance events. He became a Tracking champion, multiple Agility champion, Barn Hunt champion, and is titled in obedience, nosework, and dock diving!

Happy Birthday Timber!

So pleased with how this litter is maturing. With any luck, they will also possess rabbit running skills!

Pictured at 8 1/2 weeks. Beefcake left before posing session.

Fun outing to Kingdom Animal Hospital for some socialization! In typical Beagle fashion they tried their best to break into the dog food display. 😆

The Cake litter at 6 weeks. Cooperation level slim to none. 🤣

12/19/2022

It was next to impossible to get them all in one shot! 😂

12/17/2022

First time outdoors! It’s pretty chilly so we only stayed a few minutes.

These little cupcakes are getting so fun!

The Cake litter at 4 weeks!

Early Scent Introduction (ESI)
From days 3-16, puppies are exposed to a different odor for a few seconds each day. This early exposure is thought to kickstart and enhance olfactory development of the brain.

High hopes for our latest dual purpose litter! Born 11/14 out of Hare-Raiser MacKenzie, sired by Aust CH Langrigg The Cake Boss.

MacKenzie is a mix of field and show lines. Has several AKC conformation points including a major. Runs a nice rabbit - medium upper speed, has a good nose, uses voice properly, with decent line control.
Buddy is all Australian show breeding, but several dogs in his pedigree run rabbit and hare.

Hare-Raiser Pastel earned an NBQ (5th place) this weekend at Carlisle Beagle Club’s AKC licensed trial. Gundog brace to Small Pack, class of 19.

Pastel is also pointed in AKC conformation.

This is the goal of our breeding program- to produce hounds that meet the breed standard for both structure and function.

Oh yes!

If you are not a hound person, it may be hard to understand, but this says it all…

A basic understanding...Regarding your hound dog that I think most people miss.

Hounds do not believe that they need you. You are a convenience - like a favorite coffee cup or a favorite pair of shoes. If the cup is broken or the shoes are lost, we can get along just fine.

Let me explain:
Other dogs like Labs, Shepherds, herding breeds, and a host of others, are bred to work WITH man; neither can do their work without the other. Even the worst behaved Lab cares when mom and dad are annoyed. It is in their DNA to make man happy.
Hounds...not so much.

Hounds have been bred to be taken out to the edge of the woods or field and be let loose to go out and do what they do with NO INSTRUCTION from the hunter or handler. They go out and do their thing, all on their own. They make their own decisions and do their own work. And when that work is done and they have found their quarry, they command/call the hunter to come to them with those beautiful voices. (Who is working for whom in that scenario?)

Do you see how your hound thinks differently?

Life with a Hound is far more like having a spouse than a dog. It is far more of a "cooperative effort" with all the give and take that implies. Hounds are not going to do what you say just because you have said it. You are secondary to their desire. There has to be something in it for them. There has to be a trade off. If there is no reward or benefit for the Hound, the Hound cares little what you are asking him/her to do. People incorrectly refer to this as being stubborn - or worse, stupid. Hounds are actually neither of those things - they are just independent and cunning. They prioritize things differently than do other breeds. They prioritize differently and *you* are not always their priority.
This is EXACTLY AS THEY SHOULD BE.
They were bred to be this way.
It is all necessary to be a Houndy Dawg.

When working with a Hound you have to always be thinking:
How do I make myself the priority?
What do I have to give this dog to make me more important than what it smells - or wants? (and do not expect that anything will ever be 100% successful every time - always be looking for your Hound to act like a Hound.)
We humans always think we are in charge of things. We think that we are top of the chain, the head honchos ... and we naturally approach training our dogs and living with our dogs this way - as though we are in charge.
Your Hound doesn't see it that way.
Your Hound - at best - sees you as a family member or as a sibling (if you are very fortunate - as a parent). Do you walk into your sister or brother's house, start barking orders and they hop to?

Mostly your Hound sees you as a good friend. And what do we do with our friends? When a friend does something for us, we return those favors. There is give and take. When a friendship is out of balance - when one friend takes and takes but does not give - the friendship suffers. It is okay for one friend to be the strong friend - the dominant friend in the partnership -- -but it is *always* a partnership.

Hounds are happiest when their humans are humble.

⭐️💞Not my writing but it is so true of the Hound group and think this should be printed out and given to any body who is wanting to buy a hound and has not had experience with them💞⭐️

Bravecto, Bravecto Plus, Nexgard, Simparica, Simparica Trio, Credelio, Revolution Plus all contain Isoxazoline which is a neurotoxin! ☠️

It is only supposed to be toxic to the parasites however, data is showing the toxicity is NOT limited to parasites and we are seeing many adverse reactions in dogs and cats.

Some adverse reactions that my clients have seen include:
• Aggression
• Personality changes
• Seizures
• Disorientation
• Wobbling or unstable gate
• Sensitivity to touch
• Abnormal vocalizations
• Urinary or f***l incontinence
• Death
I have seen these adverse reactions happen immediately after administration, but I have also worked with cases where the pet parent noticed these reactions days, weeks, or even months later. Sometimes the reactions don’t occur until multiple doses of the medication have been given.

AVOID THIS DRUG!
