Hello Babyblue,

I have owned many dogs, alot I have trained up and sold over they years, thats the reason why I got them.

As of right now I do a lot of weight pulling with dogs, some agility and tracking. I have two Beagle now that Im training for various activities. One of the Beagles I am training and giving to my sister, the other I will keep forever. I am really in to hounds.

At the moment I am working on getting a Amer bulldog out of FL. He will do the Iron dog matches. We also have a St. B that is up to 3500 pounds in its weight pulls and a Amer. bulldog out of Mississippi that is pulling 1800 pounds and getting ready for its first Iron dog.

I also do some personal protection and am invalved with Mr.k9 in Chicago. At this time I now live in Nashville TN and am trying to start a shop down here.

Dave.

do you get pups from a breeder and then train and sell them?

You must really have a lot of fun training the dogs, but isn't it hard to just sell them?

Yes, some dogs I have gotton from a breeder, some have been rescued. I have contacts with all my rescues in the area. I try to bring them home clean them up, fix any behavioral problems they might have, train them per client and give them a great home.

Yes, I some times feel really sad. But, I know I am saving dogs lives and given them great home. Some dogs will end up being agility dogs, and dog and owner will have a fun active life together. And some of them just become lap dogs and make a little 4 years old girls life happy because her dady left her.<----Thats why my sister is getting one of my Beagles, because her daughter's dad left her, so my BEagles job in life will be to make a little girl happy, and if thats is job in life, then Im a happy man.

Thank you, I really love them pups.

Some times people bring there dog to me for training, once a week in person, and some time we do a in kennle program and the dog is returned to them trained with a list of things to do with the dog to keep it sharp.

Welcome Dave & family. I love the pic of your beagles.

Sounds like you have a great variety of dogs. My hubby would love the fact that you're into personal protection. We have an 8 month old bandog.

Please post about the events your dogs enter. We'd love to hear more.
