Multiple BIS/BISS CH. Talbot Hill’s Thyme After Time x CH. Talbot Hill’s Razzle Dazzle (2006 NBC 13″ BOW/BBE)
Tony was a young puppy when I was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. We entered the ring together once before he went to Guadalajara where he has produced well for MG Beagles.

January 26, 2002 – September 10, 2012
Talbot Hill began with an Overture, a song that began just before midnight on January 26, 2002. ”Rosie” was the first of five red & white female puppies that would arrive that night…and my love for red & white beagles began with that litter. With a pedigree dominated by Daragoj, Dialynne, Dufosee, Torbay and Manahound, I hoped for just one puppy, small enough to show in the US, yet retaining the type, movement, structure and breeding qualities that I valued in that pedigree. I got that wish…and I got my first home-bred champion.
A good breeder never expects perfection in just one generation…or even two or three. The focus is not on breeding the next show prospect but on building a strong and lasting breeding program, building upon and respecting the hard work and dedication of breeders who have come before and building and preserving the breed for the future. That has always been my focus. Rosie was bred twice and I kept one bitch puppy from each litter to build upon. She had a loving, sweet temperament; big, dark eyes that gave that soft and pleading expression that we want in the breed; she used herself well and covered ground with ease; an easy, free-whelping bitch, she was blessed with the maternal qualities of her grandmother, the great brood bitch, BISS CH. Daragoj Chelsea. She wanted more coat; bone and substance, while adequate, could have been more; and she had too much tuck up. But…she was a good place to start and I was blessed to have her.
Rosie’s first litter, by BIS CH. Beowulf Ransomcreek Hide In Plain Sight, produced four champions:
CH. Talbot Hill’s Secret Garden (13″), dam of multiple BIS/BISS CH. Talbot Hill’s Thyme After Time
CH. Talbot Hill’s I’ve Got A Secret (13″), dam of BISS CH. Danter’s Son of Trouble and BISS and 2011 NBC 13″ BOV CH. Danter’s Itty Bitty Trouble
CH. Talbot Hill’s Secret Liaison (13″), male puppy, finished in three weeks before the age of seven months
CH. Talbot Hill’s Secret Mission, also finished very quickly, although shown at a later age.
Rosie’s second litter, by CH Perkys Winter Storm, a 13″ red and white male, produced four lovely puppies but I kept just one to show:
CH. Talbot Hill’s Opus One (13″), Maya finished with back-to-back five point majors on a specialty weekend and produced a very nice male sired by BISS CH. Ha-Penny’s Too Much Trouble: CH. Talbot Hill’s Opus Too, “Michael”. Michael is the sire of BISS CH. Copper Rose Myles of Smiles, 13″.
Maya’s second litter, by BIS and 2008 NBC Specialty Winner, CH. Jabrwoki Le Jazz Hot, also produced some very nice puppies. I was battling non-Hodgkins Lymphoma at the time and was unable to keep any of the puppies but I am grateful to Nancy Moen (Sealgair Beagles) for taking CH. Talbot Hill One Sunday Morning, “Pascha”. While she was a bit short on leg, “Pascha” possessed the beautiful shoulders that I hoped to get from this breeding and I couldn’t bear to place such a valuable asset in a pet home. ”Pascha” has produced a beautiful first litter for Nancy and I look forward to seeing the puppies that she produces in the future.
Best of Variety under breeder-judge, Andrew Brace, at the all-breed shows following the Aldie Nationals in 2002. Mr. Brace did not know at the time that he was awarding the BOV to a great-granddaughter of his great English champion, CH. Diallynne Tolliver of Tragband.
Herbie has sired a litter for Briarlane Beagles. Five boys and two girls arrived on May 22, 2012. For more information about the litter or to inquire about the puppies, please contact Briarlane Beagles.

CH. Talbot Hill’s Opus Too, “Michael”, was just four months old when I was diagnosed with non-Hodgkins Lymphoma. He was one of the nicest puppies that I had bred and I was excited to have this stunning young prospect in my backyard, but…I knew that I wouldn’t be able to do him justice. Michael went to Teresa Gaier at Copper Rose beagles where he sired 13″ littermates BISS CH. Copper Rose Myles of Smiles and CH. Copper Rose Murph the Smurf.
Michael is now owned by Bill Nieland.

Welcome to the new web home for Talbot Hill Beagles. I recently closed the web site that I had had for nearly a decade and, with it, closed my old e-mail address, “carrie@talbothill….”. I can now be reached at talbothill@gmail.com.
I plan to create a new web site in the future but, for now, this site will have to serve the purpose.
Life has presented me with many challenges in recent years and I’ve had to pause…take a break from breeding beagles…while I “put my own nose to the ground” and move forward. Beagles remain my passion but for now I have no immediate plans for litters. Herbie, multiple BIS/BISS CH. Talbot Hill Thyme After Time, is available at stud to approved bitches but, with no bitches at home, there are no plans for puppies in 2011.
There is much that I have not yet had time to share here but, as always, I am happy to answer any questions about my dogs or my breeding program. Please feel free to e-mail me at the e-mail address above if you have any questions about my dogs. Since I have no immediate plans for puppies, I would direct all inquiries to the following link: American Breeders.
I am grateful to the many breeders who have incorporated Talbot Hill into their breeding programs and to the many families who have welcomed Talbot Hill into their homes.
