The Truth About Beagle Breeders

Article Title: The Truth About Beagle Breeders
Author: Michelle A Adams

Due to the growing popularity of beagles, there has been a rise
in the number of dishonest beagle breeders and puppy mills in
this country that supply their dogs to the pet stores. These
dogs are often sick or dying when delivered, due to the
horrendous conditions in which they are forced to live. These
puppy mills breed their dogs in terrible conditions, and very
rarely deliver healthy dogs to the pet stores. This makes it an
almost certainty that any pup bought from one of these stores
will be sick or dying when you get it home. By doing the right
amount of research, and only purchasing your pups from a well
respected breeder, you can help do your part to put these
terrible puppy mills out of business. Remember, a well respected
beagle breeder would never supply pups to a pet store, so by
staying away from pet stores you can help to better ensure you
are getting a healthy beagle pup.

There is a growing epidemic in this country. A recent spike in
the popularity of beagles has led to the rise of a great many
dishonest beagle breeders who run puppy mills to meet the
growing demand for these sweet little dogs. These puppy mills,
as a general rule, supply the majority of pet stores in this
country; which is why many would-be beagle owners wind up taking
sick or dying dogs home with them.

Even honest pet storeowners are buying these puppy mill pups,
never knowing that they are purchasing unhealthy dogs from a
dishonest beagle breeder. The only real way that you can be
absolutely certain that you are getting a healthy beagle these
days, is to be certain that you only buy a pup from a well
respected beagle breeder that your trusted vet has experience
with. This will help you to ensure that your new pup has
received the proper care and treatment before being delivered to
you.

The biggest issue with a dishonest breeder is that they will
often continue to interbreed their dogs, so as to produce the
largest amount of pups. Since beagles are prone to certain
genetic health issues to begin with, this is a very dangerous
practice. An honest beagle breeder recognizes the danger of
interbreeding so many generations without bringing in any new
blood, and will absolutely refuse to do so. They will try to
keep the genetic lines as far apart as possible, so as to
prevent further aggravation of these conditions.

It is a sad shame that so many pet storeowners are unable to
distinguish an honest beagle breeder from a dishonest one. But
so many pet storeowners are simply concerned with keeping up
with the growing demand for beagle pups, that they never take
the time to research the conditions the dogs they are buying
come from.

An honest beagle breeder will generally do as much research
about the person who wants to buy a pup from them, as you should
be doing about the breeders. It is not uncommon for an honest
beagle breeder to refuse to sell a pup to someone, simply
because they do not believe that the person is ready for the
responsibility of taking care of a beagle in the way they
deserve. But you don't have to be one of them.

Understanding that beagles require extra care and medical
attention because of the many years when interbreeding was such
a common practice, is the first step to becoming the owner of
one of these sweet little dogs. Having the responsibility to
carefully research any beagle breeder you are considering buying
a pup from is the second step. By refusing to buy pups from pet
stores supplied by puppy mills, you can rest assured that you
are doing your part to ensure a long and healthy future for
these little dogs.
