I bought a male pup from the Lipko's out of Lacy's second litter. Second Base Chase is 17 months old. Being the father of two boy's ages 14 and 12 I have not had as much time to devote to my canine son as I would like. So far I have had him on three hunts and he's is progressing very well. The first hunt he started off a bit slow but contributed to the hunt. His second hunt he pounded with his sister Maggie Mae, and John's old pro Ab. His last hunt under horrible hunting conditions he caught and killed his first bunny. I am also pretty green when it comes to raising beagles, but John is always willing to give good advice, and help out whenever possible. If Chase turns out to be half the dog as his big sis Maggie, I will have plenty of rabbit dinners over the next few years...Thanks John.
