I can't remember the last time I DIDN'T have a beagle hound. My old dog died this last fall, but he left me this before he passed:

He's the runt of the litter, but he's got more heart than the rest, and can hold his own against the ones twice his size. I don't know if I have the patience to break another hound. But, I;m going to try.

Good lookin' pup!

Cool! The runts of the litter always seem to have more "fight" in them. I've got alittle female here at the house that WAS the runt of the litter and she acted just like you pup does. Now that they are 9 months old she's the biggest of the 3 and by far the smartest. The runts always seem to work out.
