This is a tragedy I'm hoping can be turned into a success for these dogs. Long story short, a breeder in Virginia that bred Beagles for medical testing got shut down by the state for horrid conditions and non-compliance with a myriad of state laws, and a judge ordered all the Beagles be taken from the breeder and given over to SCPA. SCPA in turn is partnering with rescues across the country to try and find homes for these dogs. As you can imagine, finding homes for ~4,000 Beagles is going to be a herculean task given the current economy. If you are looking to adopt a dog, please give this some serious consideration. These dogs deserve a much better future than the past they've had to endure. For info on adopting or fostering, contact your local SPCA or Animal Shelter. Story and video at the following link....Link Their appreciation will be delivered every day. I know Bert my adoption is one of the best things in my life today.   ----------------------------- Guns are awesome because they shoot solid lead freedom. Every man should have several guns. And several dogs, because a man with a cat is a woman. Kurt Schlichter | ||

All ours are rescue's. We have lost several in the last six months as all are of similar age. It is rewarding and all have been as good as good gets. I did not read the article. But hope all find great homes. They will all give way more than they receive. Bless everyone who adopts and provides a good home to an amimal in need.

My adopted dog is a bit strange tho…  "Violence, naked force, has settled more issues in history than has any other factor.” Robert A. Heinlein “You may beat me, but you will never win.” sigmonkey-2020 “A single round of buckshot to the torso almost always results in an immediate change of behavior.” Chris Baker | |||

I love that goofy smile. "It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946. | |||

Beagles are my second favorite dog. My ACD is still a puppy but I’ll talk to the wife and give this some thought.  10 years to retirement! Just waiting! | |||
