• nigguysmom Posted : 5/1/2006 11:08:40 AM Gina, they are so sweet!  I would want to keep all of them.  Are you just keeping the 2 because they have show potential?  What are you looking for when you look for that?  Can you see it in the pics?  0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• rwbeagles Posted : 5/1/2006 12:45:22 PM Sandy is definitely staying here for now. Rizzo is still on the hunt for a home She could go show or pet really, depends on what each person is willing to forgive fault wise!   Sandy was the one that showed the most improvement in the 3 main areas her Mom was weak in, Head type, Coat texture, and rear angulation Factor in she's my favorite color and has got the SWEETEST personality...well...she wins hands down haha! She of course like any dog, still has her faults...   Breedings should be done to improve things and those things are going to differ line to line and breeder to breeder...but my main issues with Nonnies I feel were resolved best in little Sandy 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• bluelighting Posted : 5/1/2006 1:21:02 PM They are just so cute! Wow is really time for them to go so soon?? It seems like just a few days ago we were looking at cute little puppy and now they are ready to go. They grow up so fast give them all kisses from me and extra hugs. Especially a hug out for you when you give them to their new homes. I don't think I could be able to part with any of them and that is why I'll never do it. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• tashakota Posted : 5/2/2006 8:07:39 AM Gina, I had a question too.  (Cute little puppies!)  That rear angulation in the stack, does that show in a normal stance too?  Is the rear angulation being bred for or against?  What does the angulation do to improve in the beagle? 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• rwbeagles Posted : 5/2/2006 8:34:06 AM In these pups, what you see is what you get....Frenchy is the most angulated....her hocks are quite a bit behind her if you notice. Sandy is straightest but still has a nice amount of angulation....Rizzo is very nice angulation wise...in this breed.   You want SOME because a straight up and down rear..as seen in a chow chow...can lead to strange movement and ACL injuries...it's not really a very natural thing. The rear provides the "push" behind the dog when it moves...so you want a nice amount of angle esp in a breed that was bred to "move"....Beagle mostly work at a fast trot, then go to the run when they find the game.....it should be something they can do all day theoretically....but we're fooling ourselves if we think the down and back in a show ring, head up...is close to natural movement in a Beagle   The Beagle standard has NO mention of movement...so people breed for what they believe is good movment...and that has dogs kicking way out behind and overdo-ing it...IMO. The standard does fault straight hocks....but the word angulation or angulated doesn't really come up from what I recall. Overall the outline should be square...an if a dog has the hocks way out behind like a GSD then that's not going to be a squarely built dog I like some angulation....but not too much, but I'd prefer too much over not enough...clear as mud? lol....   My puppies are drop stacked...meaning they are held above the table, one hand under their sternum, then other between the hind legs...and then lowered slowly while I watch what they do with their feet, and set down....these girls always set their feet correctly for them....all have nice rears and decent fronts...so there's not a lot of foolin about when stacking them. Then I repeat the command stay, stay...while I move any feet that need it....not usually a lot to do!   Here's Frenchy in a natural stack...this is how she stops, note she is still showing that same amount of angulation, with the hocks a bit out behind her, her problem is that the front angle and shoulder assembly, doesn't match well and she appears cloddy in the front with a short neck, with the topline sweeping BACK on a slope to her rear:   0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.
