We lost Brew due to an illness on March 22, 2016. We had 11 great years with him. Brew and I competed in many obedience trials. In 2010, he ranked 4th in Top Obedience Beagles. His departure has left a giant hole in my heart. We will miss him forever.

Brew and Bob Skijoring!
Can you skijor with beagles? Well, it turns out that it is possible.
Today, Kevin and I took the beagles skijoring. They had a great time running in the snow. We went about 4 kilometers with them. Surprisingly, once they were running, they pretty much went straight. The next time we go I think we will have a couple of additional equipment items - harness for us to wear so you don't have to hang onto the leash and at minimum an 8 ft leash.
Here is a video of Brew and Kevin. (click on links at bottom of pictures to watch the videos)
Here is Bob
I guess we will need to teach the beagles these commands as well.

Brew at Enumclaw 08.21.11
Off to another show to see if we could improve our Rally Advanced scores. While we could move up to Rally Excellent and pursue our next title, I decided we should have a few more rounds of practice at the Advanced level. And today, we did do much better with a score of 94. The course was fun and included a lot of different elements. The ring stewards at the show to my surprise were my instructors and training partners so the pressure was on. I'm sure in Rally class tomorrow, Debbie will be pointing out all my flaws. LOL Helen gave me a great complement and said that Brew's attention on me was wonderful. And after watching the video, I was very proud of Brew's attention.
Brew at Portland - Beagle Specialty and Team Rally
Back in July, Brew and I competed at the Beagle Specialty in Portland. At the Beagle Specialty, we entered in Novice Obedience and got a score of 176/200. Not our best performance but we were the only beagle entered in Obedience so we got 1st. LOL.
In the afternoon, we competed in Rally Advanced. In Rally, we were joined by other beagle competitors, although they weren't in our class at least we had beagle company. We got an 88/100 and our 3rd and final leg towards his Rally Advanced certificate. (So we added some more letters after his name - RA).
On Saturday, our Rally score was 78/100. Brew was just a little distracted - ok he was a lot distracted - he kept looking outside the ring (for you know who...JO!)
On Saturday, we also competed in a new event for us - Team Rally. So our team consisted of a Newfoundland, Papillon, schnauzer, and a beagle. We competed against four other teams. So each team member goes thru the course separately but one right after the other. Our team got 3rd place so not too bad.
On Sunday, we tried again and at least improved our score to an 89. We made Jo go away long before we went into the ring. (Jo would just say that the beagles like her better - sure because she gives them all the good treats and lets them sleep in bed with her.)
