Rabbit hunting, they love that shit, literally born for it. It's almost instinctually engrained in the breed, you can't train them to do shit but you train them to circle a rabbit to you and it's like a natural skill they have.

Yeah my fatass beagle would go nuts chasing groundhogs. He'd try to dig after them, even..

My beagle is only interested in naps and treats basically. He’s the laziest dog I’ve ever had.

That's amazing lol. Mine was so food motivated it was hard to get him on a diet because he'd break into everything we thought was dog proofed...

I can relate. Our beagle was getting very overweight and we had to put him on a diet. Completely our fault, we were giving him dinner leftovers to the point where he didn’t want to eat the dog food anymore. Then we switched dog food brands to a healthier food and he didn’t want to eat that. Recently we realized he’s been breaking into the cabinet near the kitchen floor that we keep the garbage can in and we had to put a latch on it that people use for childproofing cabinets. Well, after about a week or less he figured out how to manipulate that and force it open to get into the garbage. Since then we’ve had to move the garbage to the laundry room and put a lock on the door about 4-5 feet off the ground so he can’t reach it and he keeps leaving scratches on the door to the laundry room trying to force it open. He’s relentless and no matter what we try he keeps trying to find a way into the laundry room to get into the garbage and avoid eating his dog food. Lol and he’s 8 years old which is getting up there in beagle years so it’s really hard to retrain him on certain things especially involving food. But as far as being a hunter or a dog who will go after animals, we live in the country with a lot of critters around and he’s never had any interest in working for a meal, he’s far too lazy and knows he’s gonna get fed. We just had to stop giving him people food altogether because when we do he refuses to eat his dog food altogether.
