Bounds Beagles

This is a puppy mill through and through that exploits beagles for money. Don’t fool yourselves into thinking it is anything else. What her female puppy mill dogs go through for years is horrendous and inhumane. Adopt or rescue — put this breeder out of business. She only cares about money, and not spending it on decent health care for her dogs… Karma, Donna, Karma

During the fall of 2005, my wife and I visited Bounds Beagles with our hearts set on raising a Beagle. We certainly made the right choice. Our now, 8 year old beautiful girl XANDO is just that-​beautiful. Over the years, xando would receive so many compliments. It was flattering.
Although she doesn’t howl, she is a little noise maker aka barker extrordinaire. I do blame a lot of her barking on our training and discipline, but she is a Beagle, barking is part of the breed (to some extent).
She has a wonderful disposition. Great character too. Her coat is so soft and smooth. I couldn’t ask for a better companion.
Even though some online reviews indicate that BB is a puppy mill, I would be cautious of everything you read (and believe). Go there for yourself and have a look around. Meet and greet the puppies. Speak with Donna and ask lots of questions. I think you’ll be impressed. Don’t get me wrong, I by all means think adoption is great and extremely important method of rescuing animals, but Donna’s precious puppies need forever homes too.

I purchased 2 dogs from Bounds Beagles. One female and one male. The female is 8 weeks older than the male. A month before Bella’s first birthday, she had to have knee surgery because her knee kept popping out of socket. I was told it was genetic. I wrote Donna, and she gave me my money back for her. Sign of a good breeder. My male beagle suffers from seizures and arthritis, but we love both of them very much and will take care of them. With these issues that we have had with them I honestly can say that I probably would not buy another Beagle from Bounds Beagles. However, I do love my Beagles, they are very sweet and good tempered.

We sought out bounds and were lucky enough to end up working pretty closely with Donna to land our beagle, Bernie. Not only is he completely healthy, he has perfect coloring and all of the normal breed temperments-​so much so that people stop us on the street repeatedly to see him closer whenever we walk him.

Two stars because my four year old beagle has a wonderful temperament and beautiful markings. That’s as far as it goes. She had mange shortly after I took her home as a puppy and has hip dysplasia, which is genetic and extremely uncommon in beagles… especially those of a healthy weight. Donna should NOT have bred my puppy’s parents. I now have to look forward to chronic hip problems when my girl gets older. Also, she learned from Donna’s kennel set up that peeing on her bed was normal and okay. I know this because every night after I got her, she chose to pee in her bed rather than cry to be let out. Now, I’m dealing with it the rest of her life. Donna is nice, but her kennel is just a pretty puppy mill. No good breeder would have ten litters at the same time kept in washing machine sized boxes lined up and color coded in a room with a dog run attached to them.

We bought our puppy from Donna about a year ago. Donna is wonderful and our puppy is awesome. She is the sweetest, kindest, most loving puppy. Donna runs a great business and loves what she does. Highly recommend buying a puppy from her!!!

I bought a bulldog from them an they would not give up the AKC paperwork on her. She wasnt treated well. Just used for breeding. Those bastards.

My beagle is almost a year old, and this past year has been full of joy. Our beagle has been a very good dog, and with no major medical issues to speak of. He obviously comes from a very good stock. I love beagles, and would definitely come back here to get another beagle in the future.
