Barrister Beagles is the joint effort of Betsy Manifold & Dennis Dollar. We are located in Escondido, California, just north of San Diego along the coast. Collectively, we have owned beagles for over 40 years.

In 1999, when Dennis suffered a shoulder injury which ended our weekend golfing hobby, we went to our first dog show.

At our second dog show we saw a puppy named Just-Wright Southpaw ("Lefty") and fell in love with his attitude and the way he moved around the ring.

Fortunately, we were in the right place at the right time (or should I say "Wright" place and time), and Lefty became our first show beagle and an important new part of our family.

More importantly, Lefty has given us an exciting introduction to dog shows, full of thrilling wins and wonderful new friends.

In 2001, under the guidance of his incomparable handler, Heather Alderson, Lefty achieved the position of No. 1 Fifteen Inch Beagle!

Our many new friends have each gladly shared their knowledge of beagles with us. One of them presented us with a plaque naming us "Barrister Beagles" and we have been pleased to participate in this great sport under that name. We hope you will enjoy these pages as we share our beagle experiences with you.
