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.
