My goals in breeding Beagles come from the legacy of knowledge
shared with me by my grandfather, Charles Hewitt. He bred
beagles under the name of the Hewitt pack from approximately
1940 through 1960. He and my uncle Charles, Jr., believed in the
dual purpose beagle of yesteryear, and to that end showed in
both the field and the show ring. They bred Thoroughbred
horses, Beagles and English Fox Hounds. Consequently what was
imparted to me was the absolute requirement of soundness and
movement to be useful in anything you wanted to do with the dog,
be it field or show ring. They also required the dog to be
beautiful and true to breed type with intelligence and a
biddable temperament, willing to do whatever the trainer
required.......
In short, the VERSATILE Beagle!
To that end, we are
attempting to re-create what we remember from those times, and
our testing has to come in other ways. So we use the show ring,
obedience, agility, pet therapy work, and the hunting field as
our modern day testing ground. We hope to impart to you that a
well bred Beagle is sound in health, temperament, physical and
mental ability and is only limited by his owners imagination in
finding things for him to participate in.
