Looking for the right hunting home for a special beagle. She is a soon to be 4-year-old AKC purebred beagle located in Southwest Michigan. We have her AKC papers. She's 24/25 pounds. She came to us through a rescue/foster situation after being removed from a hunter this winter from what we've been told, did not treat her well. We've had her since May 2 and the longer she's been with us and the more comfortable she's become, the more we've realized that this girl needs to be with a hunter. The problem is that we're a small city family, and she is not a small city dog. She did have a heat cycle initially and mellowed for a bit, we thought it might work. But, now she's back to hunting often. She was recently spade June 10 and is recovering just fine. In fact surgery didn't slow her down. We know she was raised in a pack of hunting dogs. We suspect she would do best with someone who hunts with other hounds rather than as an only dog. She is wired for that lifestyle and misses having a job to do. Frankly, if there were a beagle ninja warrior competition, I suspect she would win it. This girl is agile. She loves to maneuver in small spaces. That said, she's also incredibly sweet and affectionate. She's house broken and been inside with us the whole time. She loves attention, enjoys being close to her people, and would happily curl up beside you after a day in the field. She's not just a hunting dog-she's a loving companion too. She also quickly took to boating & golf carts too! Our biggest priority is finding her forever home. Any new owner will need to be patient with her and give her time to settle in. She truly has a great demeanor. She's very chill at home or anywhere until she sees a critter. We aren't looking to simply rehome her anywhere. We're looking for the right home where she can do what she was bred to do, be part of a pack again if possible, and still receive the love and care every dog deserves. If you made it this far, the breeder told us her dad was the smartest beagle he's ever had and he had 54 beagles at one time. He said he was part-human. That's how we would describe her. She watches tv and recognizes us in pictures. He also said her mom bred a national champion. If you're interested or know someone who might be a good fit, send me a message. I'd be happy to share more details, photos, videos, and more of her backstory with serious inquiries. To ensure she goes to a good home, we are asking for a human reference and $150. Southwest Michigan.
