He's a purebred beagle pup- 9 months old- hasn't been worked with much, but is pretty smart and could probably catch on quick. My husband and I bought him as a pet for our daughter back in January, but now we've bought a house and the yard is real small and it wouldn't be fair to take him with us and him not have room to run outside. If anyone's interested, leave a message or e-mail me at rjfrench@cableone.net
