It is with a heavy heart that we received the news from Carl Smith that Ken Peeden of Reedy Fork Beagles in Summerfield, NC passed away yesterday, October 25, 2017 at his home. Ken was a good friend and beagler and helped many with their dogs with training or just caring for them for his friends. Once again, beagling just loses another dedicated friend and beagler. Thanks for the memories and all you contributed and gave to so many. Rest In Peace my friend and We are definitely going to miss you.
