    Hey Beanie!
    How are you sis? :P i’m getting my operation next Tuesday :-( was wondering if you were planning on heading to rouken glen this weekend maybe saturday morning and we could have a wee off lead run around! if you’re up for it let me know!
    love Bella x

    p.s love the site and all your pictures!

  2. Beanie Says:

    Yay!!! That sounds like good fun ! :)

    I usually take mum & dad to Rouken Glen at about 9.30 am on a Saturday and start out in the middle of the big meadow (they tend to wander off and get lost so I make sure I take them somewhere where I can keep an eye on them). But I can be there any time or place.

    Or what about Beagle racing at Kincardine Bridge on Sunday? You’d love that Bella!!! You and me can show those old dogs that us puppies rule!!

    Love Beanie

    Hi

    It’s Jasper’s dad here. We enjoyed the day at the races even if Jasper was a non starter. I think he is a little embarrassed although he doesn’t talk about it that much. The photos were lovely and I have a new background for my laptop.

    I haven’t been to Rouken Glen recently but I was wondering if you do web site design as I am impressed by your site.

    Regards

    David

  5. Paul Roberts Says:

    Hi David,

    Thanks for the kind words. Yep we do web design though we’ve been scaling that back lately to concentrate on the software side of things. I’ll send you an email.

    I am now all the way back at Pippa of Lairfad and Tess also has quite a number of Rossut in her line.

  7. Lee Brotherston Says:

    Hey Beanie and Biggles,

    I love your website. Whenever there is a description of either of you, it could just as easily be my beagle Gertie that is being described.

    I was wondering what kind of camera is used to capture all of those great pictures of you two.

    Lee

  8. Paul Roberts Says:

    Hi Lee,

    Glad you like the site, and that Gertie’s just as crazy as our two.

    Camera-wise, I started out using a Sony H50 but that didn’t handle the action shots too well. I switched to a Canon EOS 40D around September last year, and that’s great, though I’m still getting the hang of it. Most shots are taken either with the 28-135mm or 70-300mm EF lenses.

  9. Lee Brotherston Says:

    Hi,

    Thanks for the response. I have another question regarding diet. I read your one entry that mentioned you were feeding Beanie raw. Are you still doing the raw thing? Since we picked Gertie up from the breeder, she has been fed exclusively raw food and she is doing great on it. I’m just curious how it turned out for you guys.

    Lee

  10. Susan Westlake Says:

    Hi Lee,

    Beanie didn’t do so well on a raw diet. She was healthy enough, but her performance took a nose-dive. Compared to when she was fed a Burns Kibble diet she was slow, sluggish and had poor stamina. It was drastic enough that other dog owners in the park noticed and asked if she was ill!

    I don’t think it was raw meat that caused the problem, but rather the lack of carbs in her diet. Through trial and error we’ve found that a diet consisting of 75% Burns Active kibble and 25% cooked meat, cooked veg, fruit, sardines, salmon, eggs, probiotic yogurt etc works best.

    It’s early days, but it looks as if a similar diet suits Biggles too.

  11. Kirby Says:

    Hi Beanie, how did you get on today, did you go to the vets? I do hope you are alright.

  12. Bella Says:

    Beanie you swallowed a whole bag of treats!? thats impressive. Shame you didnt get to enjoy it :P
    Will you two be at the park at the weekend? im in desperate need of a good run around!
    Love Bella x

  13. Beanie Says:

    Hi Bella,

    It wasn’t so bad. I got a whole tin of dog food at the vets….then I was sick.

    We’ll be there Sunday – usual time.

  14. Kirby Says:

    Hi Beannie and Biggles, I won’t get to see you for 10 days, I’m grounded. Mums going on holiday and I had a dreaded trip to the vets. I got 3 staples in my leg and the vet said no park visits and no mud.You know how I like in the mud. Mum thinks it might have been glass in the river, I covered Amber in blood before Richard discovered it was my paw so my walk was cut short. I’m really gutted, I was looking forward to my Aunty taking me out.

  15. Paul Roberts Says:

    Sorry to hear that Kirby. You missed some good snow fun today :(

  16. Murphy Says:

    Hi Beanie, Lexx & I missed you at the Clear Run Agility Fun Day. We had a great time. I hoped you could meet my pal Jude – she’s a kelpie too.

    Mum says I did really well, cos I won 2nd place in the Agility class. Mum likes the rosette, but I really liked the BIG biscuit & hugs from everyone.

    Hope to see you in the park for a run soon & you can tell me more about your flyball. Murphy

  17. Natalie Hughes Says:

    Hi,

    Discovered your site via In Full Cry and have become a big fan. It’s become a daily routine now to check out the latest on Beanie and Biggles. They are truly adorable. Have a beagle of my own – William – a rescue who is now 10 years old and without a doubt the apple of my eye.
    Thanks so much for the stories you share, makes me wish we were up in Scotland so William could run and play with your two babies – although I imagine your two would probably scare the fur off him as he is a big scardy-dog at times.

    As ever will continue to look forward to the progress Beanie and Biggles make in racing, flyball and agility (seriously impressed with how far Beanie has come and how well she is doing), and laughing at the things those two get up to.

    Kind regards
    Natalie (and William)

  18. Susan Says:

    William can’t possibly be a bigger scardy-dog than Biggles! That little boy holds the world record for flipping onto his back at the first sight of anything bigger than a mouse!

    We’re recently discovered he’s got an obsession with sheep. He goes nuts if we’re walking in open country and he spots one. We suspect that if he did get off-lead and he caught up with one he’d promptly flip onto his back for a tummy tickle!

    I’m glad you like the blog. It’s a fun way to record all the good times!

  19. Natalie Hughes Says:

    Okay not sure about if William would flip on his back at the sight of a mouse. But he’d certainly run away if a sheep came close (unless it was a nice cooked lamb chop) Including and especially the stuffed kind. Plus squeaky toys are the most terrifying thing he’s ever encountered. And if a small dog barks hello at him, he either runs away in terror – because of course the little dog is a giant killer that wants to eat him – or he literally hides behind a person’s legs *laughs*

    Still, he’s as cute as can be and a prize manipulator. That dog could get away with murder and we happily let him. That face can slay with cute. As your two could easily do as well.

    It’s fabulous!

    I do have a question, which I hope you won’t mind answering. Your photographs of Beanie and Biggles are incredible. Do you mind telling me what camera you use? I love taking photo’s of William, but they don’t always turn out so well and would love to know how you do it and with what camera.

    Thank you :)

    Natalie

  20. Kirby Says:

    Hi Beanie and Biggles, Just thought I would let you know that Ten Pin Robbie has outdone himself. He knocked over 2 people this morning, taking his count to 11. His first target was Tess, Tara and Clara’s mum then Mya’s dad. So you will need to come up with a knew name for him. Yesterday there was 27 dogs in the field, the most I have seen at one time. See you sometime. Kirby

  21. Paul Says:

    Hi Natalie

    Really glad you like the site!

    Regarding the photos, you really need digital SLR to have a decent chance at capturing dogs at play. I went through a couple of “point and shoot” type cameras before I realized this! Most of the shots since about September last year were done with a Canon 40D, but brand really doesn’t matter, so long as it’s fast enough to keep a dog in focus while it’s moving. A fast frame rate (rate at which photos can be taken per second) is a big help too – I shoot loads of pictures each week, and only keep a few.

  22. Paul Says:

    Hi Kirby,

    That’s great news about the Robster. I reckon we should call him “The Juggernaut” after the character in the X-Men comics. Once he gets going, nothing can stand in his way :)

  23. Natalie Hughes Says:

    Hi Paul,

    Thank you for that. Do have an SLR – Nikon, but just wowed by your quality and clarity of them. I still can get blurred results with William even on the Nikon. Maybe I just need to check the frame rate.
    Thank you for letting me know.

    Natalie

  24. Alicia, Lola & Magnus Says:

    Hello Beanie & Biggles! My husband and I are the proud owners of 2 beautiful beagles, Lola & Magnus. We always wanted a beagle so we bought Lola who totally besotted us. We just had to have another one, so along came Magnus! I wish there were organized beagle walks here in Cheshire! xx

  25. Pamela Thornton Says:

    Hi its Pam. I keep reading the blog whenever i can i think its really good and the dogs are wonderful. Me and my grandaughter,Lauren love watching the videos. Lauren especially enjoys the swimming one. You both look so well on the pictures. think of you lots love Pam

  26. Beanie and Biggles Says:

    Hello Pam and Lauren! It’s lovely to hear from you. Pam, I’ve still got the toy you gave me when you came up to visit me – it’s my favorite!

    We’re glad you like to read about all our adventures. We’ve got some VERY exciting news that we can hardly keep to ourselves, but keep reading and we should be able to tell you in a week or two.

    Love

  28. kirby Says:

    Well you 2 beagles, what have you been up to since you moved? Looks like a nice big garden for you to dig up. We have a few new pups up the park now. Hope you get lots of pressies this year.

  29. Beanie & Biggles Says:

    Hi Kirby,

    We’re having a great time in our new house – walks on the beach, in the countryside….and our huge garden. Haven’t tried digging it up yet…..great idea!!! There’s loads of room to play chases in the house too – huge long hallways and nice big rooms. It’s great fun!

    Not quite sure about the strange hooved critters living at the bottom of our garden though. We need to give them lots of stern woofings to keep them in their place.

    We’ve just got our broadband connection up and running today so Dad will post up our news soon.

    Hi Beanie and Biggles,
    you guys look like you are having a ball in your new home and enoromous garden.

    My two legged pets have had me out in the snow over the past few days and its great having all that extra white stuff to eat :O)

    I like going big walks in the country and running around at the Troon and Irvine beaches (Hopefully see you there for a chase,im down most weekends) and have recently taken up swimming lessons at the hydrotherapy in Ayr.

    Ive been thinking of giving the agility and flyball a try after watching you guys doing it so well and having so much fun but dont know of any clubs can you help?? Im from Kilmarnock and would love to try it.

    Although im a very good girl most of the time, i sometimes bark quite a lot and the two legged ones were wondering if you know any solutions to this?

    Look forward to seeing what you get up to next on your great website :O)

    Bundy

  31. Susan Says:

    Hi Bundy,

    Our Agility teacher is Carol Rogers from http://www.clearrunagility.co.uk – she’s fabulous…exceptionally good. She understands us doggies very well and we’ve had lots of one-to-one lessons for things other than agility. She really is fantastic.

    I know she has a class in Dalry although it’s full at the moment. She’s not the cheapest, but she’s worth every penny. We prefer to get her to give us a private lesson every so often and we practice ourselves the rest of the time.

    We go to flyball in Dunbarton (www.lomond-flyball.co.uk) – you’d be very welcome if you wouldn’t mind the journey. A lovely bunch of people and doggies!!!! There are only three clubs in Scotland as far as I know and that’s the closest one. But who knows – maybe we can get a club started in Ayrshire with their help?!?!?!?

    Why on earth do your two-legged ones want you to stop barking. Are they mad – don’t they realise how lucky they are to hear your words of wisdom so frequently!

    Look out for us on the beach and come over and say hi! Mum and Dad say we’re getting a fantastic Christmas pressie that we can use on the beach. Don’t know what it is yet but you can play with us if you like!!!

    Love

    Beanie & Biggles

  32. Bundy Says:

    Hey Beanie and Biggles, great to see your recent pics and news on the blog. Hope you are both well and having lots of fun. You are the luckiest beagles ever getting the portable lure for Xmas. I got lots of great pressies as well, including a bone shaped toy box which my dad made for me and lots of toys to fill it, even got a handmade card from my gran with a picture of ME on it!!!. I was hoping to bump into you both over the holiday period for a good chase but never spotted you’s, never mind… I managed to borrow a few tennis balls along the way. Went to Rouken Glen and Pollock Park (mum n dad never let me off lead there…seemingly too much wildlife running around)dont they realize how much fun that would be??!!!! Managed to steal myself an extra yummy treat the other day when I robbed the shopping bags and sniffed out a packet of chopped pork, by the time mum appeared only half the wrapper could be seen!!!
    Better get back to the couch for a snooze before mum or dad steal my place.
    PS. Hopefully bump into you both at the next lure coursing day.

    Love Bundy

    Hi Bundy,

    It’s good to hear from you!

    We used to go to Rouken Glen and Pollock park all the time. One of our Beagle pals from Rouken Glen spent a WHOLE NIGHT in the park chasing foxes!

    Mum has sent your mum & dad an email so hopefully we’ll get to meet up soon to play on the beach. You can have a go at chasing our lure if you like.

    Love Beanie and Biggles

  34. Bundy Says:

    Hi guys,

    Woooww! Your new portable lure looks fantastic and you guys are the top dogs at catching it!!

    Hope your all well, Brian’s just brought me back from a big run around irvine beach. As usuall met some new playmates.

    After the beach we went Brian’s brothers house to see there new puppy. His name is Benji, they got him from the dogs trust. We think hes a Labrador , Viszla mix. Hes lots of fun and loads of energy as well.

    Looking forward to the HWTM Mon night so hope to see you there.

    Love Bundy xx

  35. Beanie & Biggles Says:

    That’s great news that you’re going to HWTM! It’s Biggles’ turn on Monday. Make sure you have a light tea and LOADS of treats with you. Tiny bits of chopped meat. You’ll get through more than you think. We’ll need to get a few more beagles along and turn it into an all-beagle HWTM class!!!!!

    I’m glad you found out it wasn’t on last week. We turned up and stood outside like lemons for half an hour!!!!

    You’ll need to come up to our garden to try the lure sometime. Mum & Dad won’t use it on the beach until they’ve had a bit more practice.

    See you on Monday!

  36. Kiaora Says:

    Hi Beanie & Biggles,

    Just wanted to say how much my Mummy is enjoying reading your blog. She tried to do the Photo Guestbook, but for some reason it would not take.

    I am a 8 month old Beagle that lives in Los Angeles. My brother lives with my Grandma & Grandpa. His name is Wellington.

    We love seeing all the fun stuff you get to do. Mommy is going to start me in agility hopefully in a few months. I have to get checked out from the vet first to make sure I am strong enough. You look like you lead a super fun life and very much loved.

    I did ask to be your Mum’s friend on Facebook. You 2 should have your own Facebook page. There are loads of beagle & beagle breeders on Facebook. We have a super fun time on there. My name on there is Kiaora Beagle.

    Cheers,

    Kiaora
