Bring her on! She and Daisy (black lab) and Pepper (unknown genealogy) should have fun ... until they all discover the chickens and turn into a pack mentality. We'll watch 'em closely! It's been a common problem on the farm.
What are beagles bred for? Blood-tracking? Always amazes me to realize dogs have specific traits that guide them to their purpose. We've had two dachshunds, both fiercely defensive. One paid the ultimate price and the other disappeared after venturing down to the highway, 1/2 mile away. The lab came home and the dachshund didn't. Broke our hearts. Last year. So, we just knew Daisy needed company, so we went out and found Pepper. Just a mutt, but chews on Daisy like she's her mama. Fun to watch. Gives Daisy LOTS of exercise every day. -Noodle
