Dog feeds have been discussed extensively here, and I would assume feeding a working beagle would be no different than feeding a working birddog. Therefore, what's the cost of the product and a list of the first five ingredients? That's a start for discussion.

The Redmills Tracker formula doesn't look to have the high protein/fat needed for working Beagles. I would use one of the other formulas. Here is their site.

Each to their own, but I wouldn't want to pay over .85 a lb for their best feed. I assume it may cost a wee bit more since it's imported from Ireland.

I guess if you are Irish and have plenty of money, go for it. I'll stay with American feeds that are likely superior. 8) :wink:

And Diamond, Loyall, Tuffy's, Sportsmix, Pro Plan, and a thousand others. One of the things I always look for in a performance feed is corn. Nothing better to provide a balanced energy for a working dog. Oh and with these you will have enough change left in your pocket to get an ice cream cone on the way home.

It's not how many breaths you have taken but how many times it has been taken away!

Has anyone noticed common sense isn't very common anymore.
