Oz Trust me...I'm a- beagle     Barked: Wed Mar 27, '13 4:12pm PST  I used to feel this way, and to an extent still do. Especially since I am asked if Oz is a "pocket beagle" a few times per year. The way I see it, yes, by using terms such as "pocket" "teacup" and others that are used by poor breeders, it is going to come off as promoting them. However, it's terms such as these that draw some people that typically may not look to rescue in. Even in this day and age, there's still a lot of negative association with shelter/rescue dogs and mutts. I feel that as long as the rescue attempts to educate the potential adopter after they are interested, then there's little issue. "We use the term "pocket" to help draw attention to the dogs and educate potential adopters. While he is a tiny pit bull mix, the term "pocket" is really just a made up word to get people to purchase puppies from bad breeders" Or something along the lines of. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Oz Trust me...I'm a- beagle     Barked: Thu Mar 21, '13 5:54am PST  That's a new one! We tend to get that because there's 2 of them, they have to be one of each. Which in my case now, it's true. But when it was just Cobain and Oz, Cobain "had to be a girl because you can't have 2 of the same gender" my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Oz Trust me...I'm a- beagle     Barked: Tue Feb 26, '13 4:39pm PST  This thread is nearly FOUR years old. What was the point in bringing it back up? my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Choosing the Right Dog > Apartment Friendly Dogs < 30lbs

Oz Trust me...I'm a- beagle     Barked: Fri Feb 22, '13 12:58pm PST  I've always been a firm believer that the size of the dwelling doesn't matter. I currently have a Border Collie and a Kelpie mix together living in a 1 bedroom apartment quite happily. (Although you'll want to check breed restrictions on your place out of course) I'd take a look at the shelter/rescue and maybe just ask about quieter dogs - just to please the landlord and other tenants lol. I still like the hound idea, however that may be an issue if noise could be a problem. Or maybe a small terrier mix? That may be a little bit more energy than you're looking for though my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Oz Trust me...I'm a- beagle     Barked: Sun Feb 17, '13 7:02am PST  What about another beagle - or hound type dog? I've found that typically similar type dogs tend to get along the best. That's not to say a beagle couldn't get along famously with another breed, but a beagle may work out well as you've already got the experience with Jake and sort of know what to expect. If of course you're looking for another beagle that is. Plus beagles are typically famous for their love for children my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Behavior & Training > This Is Just Very Odd

Oz Trust me...I'm a- beagle     Barked: Wed Jan 23, '13 7:39am PST  The commentary from the owners was what got to me most. If the dog *only* acts like this toward the leg and not other people or dogs then I suppose I could maybe see the humour. But to me it just doesn't seem like it.

Rescue, Adoption & Happy Endings > How to Rehome a Dog?

Oz Trust me...I'm a- beagle     Barked: Fri Jan 11, '13 9:01pm PST  Beagles are a high energy breed and definitely not for everyone. Sorry to hear that things didn't work out. I am not sure of your area, but you can try using Google and searching things such as: "Beagle rescue of *your location*" "*your location* all breed rescue" "Hound rescue of *your location*" Hope something pans out for you! my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]
