A warm welcome to you from us!

WHO ARE WE: A bunch of Beagle owners, who recognize the strong scenting instinct in our hounds and are willing to brave wind, cold and rain to give them the opportunity to put these instincts to work, in a safe and social environment.

As 21st century, mostly suburban, Beagle owners, we do not partake in live hunts as is customary. Instead we use a scented rag(the drag) to mark out a circuit, section by section, for the hounds to track. They are rewarded, on successful completion of each leg with tasty bits of “sausage”. Attempts are made to encourage the hounds to work as a  pack, however, their living apart does hamper these efforts. Such dynamics are what make our modus operandus different from traditional Beagle hunts. Hence the focus on each Beagle picking up and successfully following a scent trail to completion, rather than the pack working as a team to locate and follow a trail.

Our main objectives are therefore, to allow the hounds a morning of scenting on the run, to inform and educate about this rather misunderstood breed, whilst networking with other Beagle owners and to have some outdoor fun. Anura Farm makes the perfect venue.

We try and have a prize giving at the end of each season where, prizes are awarded at the end of each season for: most successful trailing hounds (1st; 2nd &; 3rd places) and most improved hounds. Beagling Season begins around mid May and ends around September, as successful scenting requires wet, cool conditions.
