Foot beagle x Jack Russell pup at 4 months, mother a black & white russell Harriet bred by ourselves.

Snowy & Judy, 2 more black & whites. Judy came from Kilkeel Co. Down and her strain allegedly came from the Isle Of Wight.

Its that time of year again, the start of the shooting season and folks are looking for a good dog barking in cover. This year I have reared 4 young dogs for barking in cover, all beagle x fell terriers, Cooper a large black & tan, Rusty a large red dog, Blackie a small... er black dog and Choccy a small.. er chocolate bitch :)

All are 12 months now this very month, recalling well to the whistle at home and away, in and out of the trailer on command, will wear a harness and drag line or run free, and are searching cover on command. This week I will introduce them individually to working a live scent and hopefully get a chase out of them.

The pictures here are of Harriet one of my older black & white Russells who is rather good at beating cover and who will help me show the pups what to do out on the boglands. With her is some of her beaglex pups bred specifically for barking in cover last year and who are now starting their first season down in County Cork.
