I recently bought two purebred beagle pups (8 weeks) and am attempting to train them to be good gundogs. I am thinking about training one for Rabbits and one for Fox, and bringing them out seperatly. I sure could use some tips on training these pups, they are quite smart, I however lack the knowledge on how to get them to be great gun dogs. How exactly do you go about training a gundog for fox? How about Rabbits? Can I train one dog to hunt more than one species of animal, IE rabbit and pheasant? Any advice you can give me on training gun dogs would be a huge help. Thank you

I'm sure there are several dog training methods, but we lazy folks always hunt the pups with a proven dog on whatever the preferred game is. If the pup is any good and the owner DOES NOT :x RUSH THE PUP, usually a good hunting dog is the result.
Good luck and much PATIENCE.
