Lonesome Grove High Track









Track, a wonderful, loving daddy dog. He has an amazing build-- he is as athletic as they come! He stands about 15.5" tall, has a great big head, and awesome houndy ears. He has a very loving and outgoing; always the first to greet any visitors. He is about 3.5 years old. He has been a successful sire of wonderful beagle babies. He is registered with UABR and APRI.

He is available for adoption. He would make a wonderful daddy Beagle for someone. Although he is a little on the tall side, we have never seen a single one of his puppies that has gotten as tall as he is. He is a very sweet pet, but since he has been a father he has the habit of  "marking" his territory. It is so ingrained in an adult male dog, that I don't think he could be a house dog. Even if he is neutered, he will likely still be marking.

We love him, but are letting him go since he is so closely related to everyone around here. His sisters, cousins, daughters, aunts are all significant parts of our pack.

His adoption fee is $150. He is up to date on all shots and is being placed with full breeding rights. Please contact us if you are interested. Thanks!

Lonesome Grove Remington

Remington is the son of Hudson and Zoey. He is very laid-back like his father with a very sweet and loving personality just like his mother. He has a nice big-boned build, since both his parents go back to the "Chardon" line of Beagles. In his 5 generation pedigree there are 40 show champions! He is about 14" tall and around 25 lbs. It is so wonderful to have a great new generation here at the pack!

New to the Pack!

Lydia and Ethan

This is our son, Ethan, and his best buddy, Lydia. She is a daughter of Rachel and Hudson. According to Ethan, she has the perfect color, build, and personality. He has the big plans of starting his own line of Beagles, with Lonesome Grove as the foundation.  Since Lydia was born, he has been looking for a partner for her.  It was far from an easy search; he knew exactly what he wanted. Nothing short of perfection would do for the lifelong mate to his Lydia.
                Amazingly, he actually found a male that would fit the bill. He seemed to be exceptional in every way,  just like Ethan’s little girl. Just one problem: he was about 850 miles away in Indiana. This was back in October.  So for months, Ethan would watch the add posted online, wondering each day if he was still available. I think it was meant to be. The male remained available all the way through the end of 2012. Finally, in January we couldn’t take it anymore and made arrangements to go get him. His family was making a trip to Arkansas, just a short 750 miles from us, so we met there. First time we had ever been to Arkansas; it was an interesting 2 days and a lot of hours on the road – but totally worth it!
                Charlie is amazing. He has the same color, same size, and same build as Lydia and an amazing personality too.  If that wasn’t enough to make him extraordinary; his background makes him truly one of a kind. He is registered with the JKC- that is the “Japanese Kennel Club”. He was actually born and raised in Okinawa, Japan! Seriously, how cool is that! His owner was an U.S. Marine stationed in Japan. They adopted Charlie as a family pet and were able to bring him back to the states. It is still amazing to us that the Lonesome Grove pack already has one international member, our Abigail from Romania, but a second international Beagle—what a unique blessing! We couldn’t be happier with him. He will be the father of Ethan’s “Autumn Road Beagles” just like Shooter is the father of Lonesome Grove.  Charlie’s first offspring are already on the way. On March 12th, our Alexa is due with Japanese Beagle babies— I wonder if they will bark differently!  Just kidding, I am sure they will speak Beagle!  We can’t wait to see all of Charlie’s exceptional qualities shining through in exceptional little Beagle babies!

Rosalie!

Rosalie is our little sweetheart -- and she has the heart on her side to prove it! (see the first picture below) She is the long-awaited and currently "only" daughter of our Abigail. Rosalie's pedigree brings together so much of our best. Her father is Hudson (son of Shooter and Rosie). He has the great looks of his father's family (the "Chardon" show beagles of Iowa) and his mother's awesome low-key personality. Abigail is the daughter of two Champion Romanian show beagles. She grew up in Romania and came to the states with her people family as a young lady. She is in all ways, simply remarkable. We have high hopes for Rosalie's future contributions to the pack; but for right now, we just cuddle her every chance we get!

Lonesome Grove Dads

The fathers of Lonesome Grove Beagles are carefully selected for health, looks, and personality. We love a beautiful Beagle, but a loving personality and self-controlled energy level are an absolute must. Good health is also of the utmost importance. Athletic builds are more than aesthetically pleasing, they are the makings of a long and healthy life. These fathers are a core part of our program. The majority of them are related to each other; once you find something good, you keep that line going. These guys get along well with the girls and each other (not always that common among breeding males).


Chardon Red River Shootout
"Shooter" comes from the outstanding Chardon bloodline, so it is no surprise that he is such an ultimate beagle and beagle producer. In his 7 generation pedigree that we have researched, there are only a small handful of dogs that are not show champions. He is right about 14" tall and a nice broad 26-28 lbs. He is so well mannered; the only time he has ever gotten worked up and barked was the first day he came to Lonesome Grove. He gets along with everyone and has become the foundation of our entire program. He has been retired from breeding for a couple years and is enjoying his time with his many grand-puppies.


Northern's Singing Scout
Scout was our first introduction to the Chardon line of show Beagles. He is the quintessential Beagle. He couldn't have better looks and coloring (that is why he is the primary image found on our website). He looks like a Beagle should look and he has the personality that all the breed books say the Beagle has. He is the merry, singing, social, and eager companion. People still always ask, "How old is your puppy?" He is youthful and exuberant and as sweet as they come! He just over 14" tall and about 25 lbs. You just can't go wrong with a puppy out of this guy!


Lonesome Grove Hudson
Hudson has the great looks and personality of his parents: Shooter and Rosie. He stands about 13 and a half inches tall and weighs around 24 lbs. He brings together so much of what we are working toward with our Beagles. He has a wonderful laid-back personality from his parents with outstanding looks. His rich coloring accents his great symmetry and "big boned" show dog build.


Lonesome Grove Remington
Remington is the son of Hudson and Zoey (a champion sired girl very distantly related through the same line). He is very laid-back like his father with a very sweet and loving personality. He has a nice big-boned build, since both his parents go back to the "Chardon" line of Beagles. He is about 14" tall and around 25 lbs.


Autumn Road Charlie
Charlie is extraordinary as well. The same beautiful beagle looks and winning beagle personality as our other fathers, but from an entirely different part of the world. He is truly one of a kind. He is registered with the JKC- (the Japanese Kennel Club). He was born and raised in Okinawa, Japan! Charlie is people-crazy and loving and a very athletic 14" tall. 


                        Lonesome Grove Stiles                                         Lonesome Grove Allister
Stiles and Allister are littermate brothers out of Hudson and Abigail. This is Abigail's first litter of beagle babies ever. They were highly anticipated since Abigail comes from a long line of European show beagles. She was born in Romania and brought to the states by a missionary. These boys are grandsons of Shooter, nephews of Scout, half brothers of Remington and sons of Hudson. They aren't yet fully grown, but are looking to be striking mixtures of their parent's good looks and charming personalities.
