I had my girls out the other day, and my beagle alerted to something under some brush and wood. Puddles went to one side to flush it out, while Beta went to the other and sure enough, Beta got that darn rabbit. I don't think she ever caught any live prey before, because she wasn't sure what to do with it! lol She dropped it pretty quick, when it started to seize, so Puddles ran over to finish it off, quickly bit its neck, and before I could even move had it pretty much skinned, and half devoured.
I think they loved it, because now every time we go out, they are straight to the brush piles. Beta is turning into quite the hound dog.

- Tell us about yourself: 40 something mom of 3 sons, 2 living....mother of one beagle girl, Puddles age 9 and our yet to be determined "shepherd" type girl Beta, age 2. Beta was rescued from an area no-kill shelter and was assumed to be a GSD/Greyhound mix, perhaps? I sure cannot find anything greyhound about the girl, sought out Brindle Shepherds and came across the DS, and began to wonder.....she is the absolute best dog anyone could want.

Raw food the old fashioned way. It is hard to watch, but so natural.

If only it were that easy! Let them out first thing in the morning for a potty, and a quick bite to eat.lisaanne wrote:I had my girls out the other day, and my beagle alerted to something under some brush and wood.
