Congrats on getting one of the best dogs on earth. I have had beagles in my home for as long as I can remember. All of them have been rabbit hunters except for Baxter. I am trying to teach him to fish but he has problems with setting the hook and reeling in fish. I don't think he is interested in fishing though. I think he is self training himself for Law Enforcement on Saguaro. He just sits there and watches the violators. He doesn't point, doesn't bark, doesn't chase them down, doesn't do anything. Heck I think he just likes the boat ride and watching the other boats. Sounds like he is a fully trained police beagle to me. Good luck. If you have any beagle questions, I can help.
Dave.
