Packing of hunting dogs loose in White Sands

[betty99]

There was a pack of beagles/bloodhound-looking creatures loose this morning around Maple Way/Field Road access to the easement. The dogs seem well cared for and friendly, if rambunctious. I got them to come up to me for a minute. Two were wearing orange collars, but they weren't wearing tags so I could not call the owners to let them know where they are "hunting". If anyone knows someone who has lost a pack of dogs, let them know they've been spotted.

way different! beagles..10-20lbs.... Bloodhounds 85-120lbs just a slight size difference.

they both have floppy ears ... I will have to say that they are not Bloodhounds.. most normal people will not own more than one or two of them at a time

I will go for Beagles

I assumed they were beagles, but the two with collars looked more like bloodhounds. They were busy and had an interesting dynamic as a group. I called them over to me to see if they were wearing identification. You could tell the younger dog was eager to come over and play/see what I wanted but would not come over unless the whole group came. I hated to leave them running, but there were wearing no contact information. Hopefully their family finds them. Easy enough to follow the sound of baying if they were close.

They were brown and white. A couple of the younger ones had a mottled patch around their neck almost like a bandana, very pretty dogs. The older, stouter dogs had one-inch-thick hunter orange collars.

hmmm one inch thick hunter orange collars, I would take a guess that would mean that they are foxhounds :shrug:

I'm a cat person, so you've got me. They were some kind of hounds. There was a pack of five of them baying and swarming with noses to the ground.

I googled foxhound but these dogs didn't look as tall as the picture seemed to suggest. Beagle it is.
