Everything You Need To Know About The Beagle Dog

Article Title: Everything You Need To Know About The Beagle Dog
Author: Michelle A Adams

The history of the Beagle dog is a long and somewhat fuzzy one.
No one seems to know for sure the exact origin of this breed,
but information seems to lead to the fact that Beagles came from
the Talbot Hound, a breed that is now extinct. By the early part
of the second century, Beagles were brought from France to
England, and the primary purpose of this dog was for hunting
rabbits.

Beagles were bred with distinct instincts that allowed them to
chase these critters across the countryside and coax them out of
their hiding spots for the benefit of the hunters. Understanding
these basic hunting instincts will help a Beagle owner to better
comprehend some of the habits and tendencies of their Beagle
dog. For example, Beagles required a high amount of energy to
keep up with their hunts, and the dogs of this breed today will
also need the opportunity to exercise regularly. Because these
dogs were also bred in packs, your Beagle will need the
socialization of his new pack, which will consist of you and the
rest of your family members.

Beagles were originally bred in packs, so this dog is used to
the noise and activity of others. He will love spending the
majority of his time indoors with his new family, and will not
particularly want to be left alone for long periods of time.
This means that if you are going to leave your Beagle while at
work during the day, it is best to keep him in a confined space,
like a crate, indoors. This will help to prevent the destruction
that a bored Beagle can cause, as well as the "complaining" that
this dog might do through barking and howling.

When you are home, your dog will want to spend plenty of time
playing with you, and will love all of the members of your
family in the same affectionate manner. Keep your Beagle active
by taking him out to a fenced yard for playtime or indulging him
in a long walk – on his leash of course. Beagles are easily
distracted by scents when they are outdoors, and will think
nothing of taking off on an adventure of their own if they are
not properly confined.

Beagles have become such a popular family pet because of their
friendly, social nature. If you are considering one of these
adorable Beagle dogs as a new addition to your family make sure
that you take the time to educate yourself about the proper ways
to care for and train these animals. Preparation and education
will help to ensure that your relationship with your new family
pet will be a positive one.

Beagles will make a great addition to many families because
they get along well with adults, children and other pets alike.
Just make sure that you socialize your new dog carefully to his
surroundings and never leave your Beagle alone with other pets
or small children. No matter how sweet-tempered a dog is
accidents can still happen! However, if you proceed with care
your Beagle puppy will be a fun and welcome addition to your
family for many years to come.
