Kiwi is our foundation female from Chelsea Metteer of Van-Mar Beagles from her Tex x Vega litter.
She has a fabulous temperament: sweet as pie, but not afraid to defend herself or let other dogs know who's boss. Ball drive, toy drive, extreme food drive, and she loves to work and learn.

Clash
CH CCH INTCH NN AC AE UWP HG's Quite Contrary DCAT RATN SWE SBM
Clash is my first show beagle, from Mallori Seifert. He is an exceptional house dog: mischievous but not destructive, and he loves his people and his dog friends. He has very intense prey drive and food drive, but no toy drive. His "specialty" is scent work and giving his handler a hard time in the show ring.

Health & Temperament
I believe breeding is a profound responsibility. Every Knappogue beagle undergoes extensive health testing, including OFA and genetic screening for breed-specific conditions. It is also extremely important to me that I am producing dogs that have correct structure and the conformational integrity to last in the field.
Beyond physical health, we prioritize sound family temperaments. Utilizing ENS/ENI/Puppy Culture, I ensure the puppies are stable, confident, and prepared to be cherished family members or performance dogs.
