HIGH PINES BEAGLES
YOU CAN'T HAVE JUST ONE -- BEAGLE, THAT IS!!
History of High Pines Beagles
J.R. always said,
"Beagles kept me out of trouble when I was a kid."
. . .
"I was in the woods with my beagles and Mama always knew where to find me. "
That's actually how High Pines Beagles started -- when J. R. was a kid. After growing up, getting a job, marrying and several kids, many years went by without his beloved beagles. Then one day -- out of the clear blue -- we had an opportunity to acquire a beautiful (and very sweet) AKC female beagle we named Katy. And that was it!! The beginning of what was to become the love and focus of our lives.
We then acquired a sire and a dam (Chopper and Ginger). Shortly after that we approached O.D. again and told him we were interested in breeding and were looking for a good mama beagle. Thus, we obtained Baby Doll -- already expecting her first litter. In two weeks or so, we first heard that squeeking sound of just whelped beagle puppies. Nothing else like it, folks!! They were like little worms wiggling around and The Doll was a great little mom.
That was in the mid-1990's and now we have a nice kennel and a number of fine sires and dams. While most of the High Pines Beagles puppies find homes with great families, many are sold as hunting and field trial beagles.
HPB Owners are active in Community and Beagle Organizations
J.R. and Faye are very active in kennel clubs and beagle field trial organizations. Here Faye aka BeagleMama) is shown with a display from a community shelter rabies clinic -- held to give information to pet owners and to provide rabies immunizations at a discount. This display concerned a pet first aid kit and the importance of having a computer chip installed -- many GOOD stories of animals being returned to their owners after going missing -- some after TEN YEARS!!!! We also had a video about pet massage -- my pregnant mama beagles just LOVE to get a massage! This is particularly beneficial during labor and whelping. |

Some pictures of our Kennel in Ashland, Alabama
The beagles really enjoy the "porches" on the front of the doghouses! Usually in the afternoon, you will hear the blend of snoring and snoozing noises as they get their beauty rest.
Our first set of whelping boxes
| We now have eleven whelping boxes. They are also used to house any dog that is ill or needs special attention. |  |
