Beagles in Newfoundland

Beagles are not just hunting dogs, they are wonderful family dogs.Here in Newfoundland tho they are the most abused and neglected breed of dog.Hunters think that in order to be a good hunter, the dogs need to be kept in small kennels (usually with wire flooring), they have crappy shelters where they are exposed to the elements and are often not fed or watered for days.Hunters think a dog in that condition makes a good hunting dog and that if a beagle is kept inside and allowed to sleep on the bed that it will lose it's hunting instinct.There are some good hunters too tho who have wonderful indoor dogs and they still hunt good...Beagles are often abused and negelcted and often after the hunting season, they are abandoned or shot.

I am a volunteer with a rescue group Beagle Paws. I love it and I know that these dogs need all the help they can get! http://www.beaglepaws.com We raise awareness as to how these dogs are kept and how wonderfully they are as house dogs! Adoptions are done all across Canada.If you would like to help, Beagle Paws always needs volunteers, foster parents (I have fostered and it is sooo rewarding!), donations of food,toys,crates,leashes...etc...

and yay for being from newfoundland!!!!!! me tooo!!! <3

 

bloody stupid hunters. how stupid do you have to be to improperly care for a major investment and critical hunting '"tool?"

working dogs are frequently kept seperate from the family, so as not to develop bad habits, but anyone with a lick of sense treats them better than that. idiots. jeez. that just ticks me off.

 

the treatment of these animals just makes me sick not only do these hunters have to kill innocent animals in the wild but have to also hurt the ones in their back yard... The men or women who have these animals should be put in a pen and have to stand on wire for a few days and c how they like it... persoaly i think that is what they should do with all animal cruilty cases treat the people like they were treating their animals and maybe there will not b so many cases

 

Beagles are the most fun dogs! I have a male "15 that is my baby. What I see lots of is people not being able to understand their stubbornness and get rid of them because of it. Mine is 6 and is still stubborn! I do NOT use him for hunting (not a hunter) but it is cute to see him track scents in our back yard and out in the mountains. Poor guy got all excited when he tracked the scent of a deer...only to be tracking it in the wrong direction. He loves to chase around the ducks in our yard that come around every spring. I don't get after him because it's in his blood to want to go on a hunt. If he ever got close enough to one, he wouldn't know what to do. He would yelp out of fear and come running to me! Ha. They (along with any type of dog) do not belong in cages. They deserve a free and happy life.

Good for you and the work you do!

 

You see: and somebody defends Canada for what it's worth: a clear love of home and being able to get away from home on a routine basis. Go Habs go!
