• Are beagles good with children and other pets?
  • Beagles have an excellent temperament and respond well to children and other pets.
• How big do your beagles get?
  • Some of my beagles are well under 12 inches in height. Most of the puppies range in size from 10 to 13 inches when grown. This size range is often incorrectly referred to as "miniature or pocket sized".  The pocket beagle breed died out in England and never made it to the US.  So when they are called pocket, toy, or miniature beagles the first thing I tell people is that those breeds do not actually exist.  Pocket beagles are typically beagles crossed with other small dog breeds to produce a pup that somewhat resembles a beagle.  Most pocket beagle have short pointy noses, ears, poor conformation, and odd coloring.  There are two classes of beagles according to size as recognized by the AKC; the 13" and under class and the 15" and under class.
• What bloodlines do I have?
  • The bloodline that I prefer is one that has been in my family for many years and has only been out crossed with superior beagles that we felt would pass on desired traits to their offspring. I do have dogs that are heavy with Ch. Rob's Diamond II, FC Little Man, and strains of linebred weir creek blood as well as others. Most of my dogs are registered through one or several of the following registries American Kennel Club, United Kennel Club, Continental Kennel Club and the National Kennel Club.
• Would a beagle be a good inside dog?
  • Beagles are great indoor dogs as long as they get plenty of regular exercise.
  • Howling is common with new beagle puppies when they are left alone in a strange place.  They typically grow out of this in a couple of weeks. 
• Can you send a puppy to me?  How does shipping work? 
  • Shipping arrangements are the responsibility of the buyer.  I prefer the puppy or dog be picked up from me personally. 
  • Contact your local airlines to check on prices and requirements to have a puppy sent from Charlotte, NC to your location.  There is an additional $50 charge for transport to the airport.  Total cost for shipping a puppy by an airline usually runs about $350.
