The Ultimate Beagle celebrates and extols the scenting and trailing mastery of the great hounds of legend, the super-hounds -- those rare, swift, super-gifted Beagles that our fathers and grandfathers so prized, the Beagles whose energy and excellence were captured by the simple phrase, "natural-born rabbit dog."

For everyone with fond and abiding memories of carefree, childhood days, of cool, fall mornings, Warm Morning stoves and open fireplaces, of the rich aroma of fresh-brewed coffee, fried bacon and home-made biscuits wafting from mother's kitchen, or of father and his hounds joyously departing for an old-fashion rabbit hunt, the breathless excitement of youth and the mature appreciation of owning and hunting over fine rabbit-hunting, gundog Beagles are delightfully captured in Robert L. Mason's The Ultimate Beagle: The Natural-Born Rabbit Dog.
