Hi there we have 6 beagles, a feist/beagle mix, a maltese, a papillion, and a Staffordshire Terrier.

So glad to welcome you. Great 10 dogs and NO cats, great numbers. Lots of dog people on BYC. Our Greeter Sourland raises Beagles and his club holds field trials.

I tried to keep some cats outside but they kept disappearing not sure if coyotes get them or if they like one of the neighbors better. We hunt our beagles but don't do the trials.
