Believe it or not, she wasn't all that bad in the field. Not FC caliber, but better than most show dogs.
Last time I took her huntin' the VG would have froze solid in my tank!

Add:
Anyone that says show dogs can't hunt doesn't know how to breed Beagles.

Yeah, hunting breeds are born to hunt. Sure, they need training for hand and voice commands to control direction, range, flush and retrieve but the desire is in'um.
I grew up training German short haired pointers for trails. My dad made a killing selling my work. :glare:

The first one (2001) 15" Beagle, and again in 2006 (Dec) There were two shows in 2006. 13" Beagle.
We showed that little 13 inch girl in specialties up until she was 10 years old.
This was her at age 10 at the Beagle national. (went BO)

She was one of those pups that you keep because if you place them, they will just bring them back saying "here, you deal with this monster"

Gosh, it makes me sad to hear nary a drop of optimism regarding the deeming regs. I'm feeling as though there's reason to hope. No hope is just not acceptable.
I always hope!

Now, don't say I'm pessimistic from what I've said about the guy in the past. I know you have. Looks like I was right. And this is as close to I-told-you-so as I will ever get, promise.
How Donald Trump's business ties are already jeopardizing U.S. interests

Basically, I didn't vote for him, I don't like him, but he will be president weather I like it or not.

Deb, groups Sat and Sunday will be televised.

Edit - and I will be vaping in the motel room! Costs extra $ to attend live.
I've looked under everything I can think of, even Eukanuba in case Directv didn't get the memo that they aren't sponsoring it anymore. Looked up dog shows, AKC, Royal Canin, National Championship (found a heavy horse pull here). Now looking online to see if I can find out the network and the time.

Patooey....:lol:....I've always wondered how to spell that. Thanks
hehehe

wow, beautiful stack and so attentive! Did y'all handle too, or get someone else?

I am optimistic, just not where Pence is concerned. I do have a lot of hope that lawsuits will make a difference if they can get to court in time. Also have hope that Johnson will eventually see that he needs to do more than write letters. mostly I have hope that "A Billion Lives" will wake a lotta folks up, and stir up enough media attention that lawmakers have no choice but to pay attention.

welp.......it's not gonna be televised til Jan 23rd, and then it's only 3 hrs. So will have to watch by webcast. Am hoping the webcast will have the thing that allows me to put it up on the TV. I can do that with a lot of YT vids, so hopefully will be able to with this

a nice thing to do while vaping... hint.hint. ;)
Chromecast will work, if you cannot do it directly. If the webcast is avail on Chrome, you can do it directly, otherwise, use Chrome to cast whole screen and bring it up.

    My daughter was the main handler, I did if we had to. Mainly in the classes, sometimes we could end up with more than one dog in the ring. Daughter always took the dog that needed the points ;)

    Add:
    We also used junior handlers for that a lot tho'.
    But,sometimes that didn't quite go the way we planed ;)

    Well "Declan" weighs 7lb 9oz. Has blond hair, and come into this world screaming his fool head off!

    And "Gramps" is kicked back enjoying some espresso (powered by an 18650 in a Caravela)
    Congratulations!

    Sigh. Figures the one I sneak myself has the bonus feature of a faulty menu button. It doesn't access the menu if I don't lock the buttons first...it behaves like a second fire button :facepalm:

    Can't be arsed returning it for that...or sending it in for repair. I'll just pretend it's a safety feauture lol
