South Beagles
Meet the breeder
I'm Rachel S., the breeder behind South Beagles located in Smyrna, TN. I have a passion for Beagles. I take great pride in breeding for health and temperament. My beagles are bred to AKC standards. The goal I set and which I believe is still the most important, is to produce healthy puppies that make a well-rounded character in an adult dog. Sometimes the most ordinary things can be made extraordinary simply by doing them with a Beagle.
