| This is Cassi. She was, in essence, our first REAL rabbit runnin' beagle. She was with us for 12 years. She was the granddaughter of AKC Field Champion, Tommy's Tuck. She loved us, life, running rabbits, Christmas (and not just the presents), swimming, and tattling on the other dogs if they did something wrong (like run deer). She raised MANY litters of pups, her last litter she had 13! And raised every one of them. At the age of 2, she was hit by a train while running a rabbit that ran across the tracks and was finally found 3 days later grossly disfigured. A marvelous vet put her back together again-minus the ear. After a long and miraculous recovery, Cassi was back to running rabbits like nothing ever happened. Amazingly, she could still see and hear...though sometimes she completely ignored us! Cassi was an absolute miracle-all by herself. She loved Christmas and the Christmas tree lights. If Cassi did not approve of a dog we brought home-it was sold. She could always pick the winners. Before Cassi passed away, she 'adopted' a border collie named Sadie (the neighbor's dog who lives with us). Sadie was in the house with us when Cassi passed away. Cassi was always doing something special. She is so very special and she will always be a part of us. She now resides in her favorite spot in the yard with her 'good side' facing the sun like she used to sit on warm fall days. She kept her collar and favorite hunting jacket because she will always be a part of us. Thank you God for our angel Cassi. In honor of Cassi, most of the dogs we raise have their name ending in 'i' or with an 'e' sound at the end. It is the least we can do to honor a Champion! |
| This is Sadie. Our beagle 'wanna-be.' She is the border collie adopted by Cassi that belongs to the neighbor but lives 90% of the time with us. She hunts rabbits now and tries hard to stay up with the beagles. She has a talent our beagles don't: she is the best (and smelliest) skunk killer around. Sadie is incredibly intelligent and currently knows how to: sit, shake, and 'gimme 5' in both English and Spanish. And, if you're wondering, she only barks in English! She's a great 'hound' and we're glad she's part of the family. |

| No-you're not seeing double. This is our other beagle, Slim. Get it, we have 'Slim' and 'Sadie'?? Ask your son/daughter-they'll tell you. The neighbor brings home these poor rabbit deprived hounds and the next thing you know, they're multilingual, living with us, and running rabbits. Go figure. Slim is settling in nicely. He absolutely loves beagle puppies and rabbits! |
| OK-after trying the above kind of beagles-we decided we really liked it, so we branched out into these 'colors' and sizes....see what you think! |
| The miracle of a dog is not summed up in their talent, but in their ability to give complete and total unconditional love. - SF- |

| Our Retired Starting LineUp: Experience Age Rabbit Wisdom Passion |
 |
| Double D Boomer Rang- The senior male in the kennel, holder of 3 Champion Titles, ARHA Hall of Fame, AKC Wins, CHB Titles, and kids and grandkids all with talent and titles. Boomer doesn't know the word 'quit.' He's all business on rabbits. |
| Reynolds Rockin'Twain-the holder of more points than any dog we know, but not a single win. Why? Because she's a mom at heart first and a competitor second. A great puppy trainer because her heart is in seeing her 'kids' succeed. |
 |
| Reynolds Rockin' Tammy-the senior female in the kennel. Quite a little dynamo, holding several titles and AKC places of her own. A small female with a quick chop, chop on the track that makes that rabbit live hard! |
| Our Field Trialing Dynamos: Heart Nose Competitive Know-How |
 |
| S&M Wishbone-several ARHA titles, CHB, and soon to finish in AKC. He's a big male with a big nose and an even bigger heart to win! |
 |
| Drivin' Miss Daisi-small female, huge heart. Average nose, quick on her feet, and fully equipped with rabbit radar. She holds her own in trials having received several places in AKC already. |
 |
| S&M Nikki-quite a looker. Great nose. Great instinct. She has some places, but she is now our up and coming puppy trainer as she's a bit too slow for modern-day competition. True on a rabbit so those puppies will learn alot! |
 |
| S&M Double D-instinct like her dad, Boomer. A nose that can smell yesterday's rabbit. A desire to run and run. Already holds several places and we look forward to competing her more. |
 |
| S&M Gimme-a-Kissi - a small female who spent a week in ICU due to the Menu Foods Recall. Now, completely healthy, she's running rabbits with the best of 'em! Due to being sick, she's behind in her skill level set, but, quickly catching up. A rapid fire chop mouth, she's quick to get on a rabbit and she loves to keep it running all day long. |
