Hello to everyone.
I grew some waterfowl and protection dogs before i came in beagling.
I' m new in the forum and hares hunting with beagles too.

My pup was a 13weeks old female.
I just start to trail scent at 9 weeks, with a cloth drag with scent at first and with a baby rabbit a week after.

At this time she's start to eat the scat of the rabbit on the backyard and also when i take her in the wood she's eat every berry,s of the hares she find on the ground
I think she' s eat enough at home...

Somebody know something about that? some feedback?
It's ok or not?
thank you.

I would not say it is OK , however , many dogs will do this. I would do a little basic obedience training and add in the " Leave it" command and work on training your Beag not to eat the scat. I think in time your Beag will get it with some gentile correction from you , just go slow as you have plenty of time.

The training to scent track can be fun for you and your dog , plus spending quality time outside with your Beagle serves as great bonding.
