I LOVE IT!!!! I have 7 Beagles right now, had 14 but found homes for 7 of them.. All rescues from local shelters. I have had close to 20 some beagles in my life that have been rescued. I love me some beagles and hounds!!! BEAUTIFUL MEDAL!

Very nice and where as a dog of coin may not be good, on medals it works pretty well.

Anyone who claims to not like Dogs... has never been "owned" by one !

Todd, I tip my hat to you with respect --- seven beagles is a handful! (Two beagles can stir things up... I can't imagine the dinnertime hounding with seven of 'em.)

Anyone else collect hound medals, or own any?

Dogs are cool.

Neato.

(I'm a cat person, but I like dogs, too- we have three dogs. Don't ask how many cats. Too many.)

I seem to recall the Numismatist running a cover story on Cornelius Vermeule's dog-related medal collection, about two years ago. Anyone have the issue number handy?
