I'm the breeder behind Lokavi Beagles located in Bonita Springs, FL. These Beagles are from show lines, not field lines, so are not normally good hunters. They are bred to be companions. I am very proud of my dogs and am lucky enough to have a huge extended family of puppy owners that I've met over the years. As a Preservation Breeder, I am always there for the lifetime of the dog, so I hear from people anytime they have a question about anything related to their dog.
