THE BEAGLE FOR RABBITS 



I would like to get some advice from you as to 



what kind of a dog to get for rabbit hunting. 



Rabbits are the game of this country, and they 



are plentiful. Would you recommend a beagle 



for rabbits or what kind of dog would you get 



if you were me ?

Ans. — I should certainly advise you to get 

 either one or a brace of beagle hounds. These 

 dogs are rather small, standing about 15 inches, 

 and are ideal for cottontail rabbits, as they do 

 not run them too fast, giving the rabbit a chance 

 to circle instead of running straight away. Their 

 food bill also is much less than that of the large 

 foxhound's and coonhound's.

 mink and skunk, but he will not range out and

 making him range out?
