Training and intelligence
Use reward based training methods to motivate your Beagle. Hounds have a reputation for being hard to housebreak, but perseverence and patience will get the job done.
Temperament
The Beagle has a strong history as a pack animal, and this means that he loves the whole family. He is very good with children. Beagles are happy, friendly, cheerful dogs.
Attitude towards strange dogs and people
The Beagle is am out going, friendly dog. Strange people and dogs will get a warm welcome.
Grooming and shedding
Beagles have a short coat that doesn't shed much. They shed more heavily once or twice a year, but brushing and bathing will help reduce shedding around the house.
Exercise
Beagles can be exuberant as puppies, but the older dog will be more of a couch potato if left to his own devices. Make exercise fun for him and you will keep him fit and healthy.
Need for company
Beagles really need company. Their background as pack dogs means they will be unhappy if left alone too much.
General
The Beagle is a friendly dog whose compact size, easy going nature, and low maintenance coat make him a popular choice as a famiy pet.
I have a beagle and it barks a lot at strangers, and other dogs. He has never bitten anybody, adn alot of the time he is usually wagging his tail the whole time. Its nice that i can trust hime around kids though, because even when he was younger , being six now, he could be obnoxious and barking, but when a little kid would walk up to him he would be silent as they pet him, and when they were around. He is really cuddly too, but can get aggresive over his space even with my other dogs, plus even at 6 which isnt too old, but not exactly young he still acts like a puppy, but even with his diet food, and exercise he is extremly fat. Is my beagle normal?
WoW that is really cool! I just got a hound/ beagle mix.
we thought we bought a pure bread beagle, we were told that she is a pure bread Irish beagle, is there such a breed? She is taller then the usual beagle, but looks like a beagle, she is tri colour.
Beagles are my favorite breed.I think they are the cutest things in the world.My Beagle Chloe howls all the time.They start out so cute when they are babies and then grow so fast.
kelly newton..A beagle's howl can get pretty loud...lol I've had plenty of experience with it..trust me it can get pretty hectec
I own 7 beagles - and one is preggnant! Me and my Family own,show and breed beagles.
A Beagle should be about 5 weeks old before taken away from it's mother.
also a beagles howl is pretty loud and also annoying. It sounds like they're dieing.
Their howl can be loud, but they are very smart and can be easily trained to stay quiet. My beagle knows full well when he can and can't howl. He is the best!
beagles are so cute...my beagle winkie loves running around and sniffing things
Friend for a wheaten
How old do beagles have to be, before you can take them home?
Thanks
I have 2 beagles, Pookie and Snoopy, and never heard them howl, they bark sometimes, but are quiet most of the time. I also have a boxer beagle mix named Fred that howls with me. ( I start and he joins in.) My wife thinks I am crazy, but as long as Fred enjoys it who cares LOL.
did you know, that a beagles ears are down beacuse a beagle is a hunter. when they are running they could get dust in there ears so there flops block out the dust
Their howl is very loud
