Bayou Oaks Beagles is owned by myself, Alyce Braud Gilmore of Lake Charles, Louisiana.   This hobby kennel was founded in 1985 with the purchase of a female puppy, Ch. Bayou Belladonna, who easily attained her AKC conformation championship. This brood bitch in time was mated to Ch. Wilkeep Bayou Classic and produced my first homebred champion, Bayou Oaks Violetta. Violetta mated to Ch. Barmeres Mario Andretti produced two Best in Show winners, Ch. Bayou Oaks Cappuccino and Ch. Bayou Oaks Chianti. This combination provided the lovely look I have to my beagles and and continues influence the bloodstock I have today.
  I am a member of the National Beagle Club of America, San Jacinto Beagle Club and the Calcasieu Kennel Club.
By profession I am a registered nurse although I am retired at this time. Presently, I am working to attain a degree in liberal arts from Louisiana State University.
My search for the best breeding stock available has taken me throughout the US and overseas including Australia, New Zealand, England, and Denmark. I am grateful most of all to the wonderful beaglers that I have met along the way, many of which have been invaluable mentors and teachers.
The kennel has been active since it's inception and I am proud of the contribution it has made to the breed, producing several Best in Show and National Specialty winners. I hope to be able to contribute to the breed for years to come.
Thank you for visiting my website.
