PSE,

I have a cross mountain cur and Feist. She cannot cold trail a rabbit worth a hoot. Good little squirrel dog though. She trees a coon once in a while too. I have never worked with her, she is a family pet. However, if she jumps a rabbit, it best find a hole, or she will catch it! I've had fast beagles, and slow beagles. I liked my slow dog a lot better. I guess Its all how you want them to hunt. If your beagle can catch a rabbit, then its a good one!!!!
