New beagle pup

[walkingcrow]

I have spoken for a beagle (some walker) pup born a few weeks ago. I hope to train him as a deer dog.

I have 2 issues

1. I live in a subdivision and I wonder how many of you with more experience have luck using beagles that are also housepets. I have heard that it ruins a hunting dog.

2. The more immediate issue is that the mother of the pup was killed by a car. (By the owner on his way to a medical emergency in his own driveway.) The pups only just opened there eyes and are being kept in a pen and fed by bottle. Do you think I should take the pup. Will he have developmental or training issues related to losing the mother so early.

Thanks in advance

i have a beagle that sleeps with my wife and i and is one of the very best rabbit dogs i have ever hunted with and she will do it every day if you take her i would love to have all my hounds in the house but my wife says no because our bed ain't big enough lol i do not believe that it will hurt the dog in any way as for bringing it home i would only do it if you are capable of taking care of it a pup without a mother is a lot of work and requires a lot of time and attention if the owner is set up and giving the care it requires i would leave it with him until the legal age in your state unless he can not take care of them all and needs the help good luck

Thanks for the reply. I guess what I meant was should I take the pup or wait for another breeding due to the loss of the mother so early.

Thanks
