Where are you located?
There are lots of very knowledgeable houndsman all over the state. Two things I'd consider doing before getting dogs is running with some folks that already have a pack. You can see if their dogs are what you like or if you'd like something faster,slower, rougher or cleaner. If you don't know anybody then I'd recommend attending a field trial. In all of my experiences they are a welcoming bunch to new folks. You will get to see a lot of dogs running, meet some great folks, eat good, and maybe even walk away with a nice started dog or pup.
I'd check with a reputable breeder of hunting beagles before I took chances on a random guy who could be a dog jockey just giving you his junk before season ends JMHO. A good dog/pack can set you up for a lot of good times and memories, and a bad one can ruin it all 5 minutes after it gets off the tailgate.

I'm in Chattanooga and I'm not afraid to travel. I completely agree with everything you said finding a dog is not easy task. But I'm not new to hunting dogs, I've been hunting mnt curs for squirrel most my life we also hound hunt bears with Walker dogs. I'm just looking for some phone numbers of some reputable breeders or serious hunters that others might know and have had dealings with.
You outta try them curs for bears. My group won't hunt unless I bring my curs and they all hunt hounds lol in all seriousness don't fall into the got to have a pack of rabbit dogs mentality. You can kill every rabbit on the place with 2 well trained beagles.
