Finding a pet for a family can be a fun experience and beagle
puppies have the disposition to fit right into a human family
and make friends with children as well as the adults. Provided
they have had the opportunity to socialize with other animals
and people, they can feel right at home once they arrive. Their
small stature and friendly nature make them an ideal peat for
children and they tend to repay the love offered by a family by
showing off all the new tricks they have learned. There may be a
few health problems associated with the beagle breed, but with
proper care and attention, can live beyond their anticipated
12-year life expectancy. When choosing a new beagle puppy there
are some health problems that may not be obvious or known at
such as young age, but a breeder should be able to offer
warnings of potential issues. There are a couple of problems
that potential owners should be able to determine simply by
looking closely at a new puppy.

beginning at a young age, they can quickly learn to get along
with other beagles, other animals as well as with humans. They

for families. Although small in stature, beagles have a big
heart and have a friendly disposition and exceptionally loyal to
their family.

plenty of space to roam and run, however they can be happy as
part of a household, provided they can get out an run once or
twice a day. One of the things people need to consider when
looking for a beagle puppy for sale is the availability of the
animal having its needed space. If the home and adjacent
property is not large enough, a nearby area should be available
for the owner to help the dog get its needed exercise.

Children are especially fond of the beagle breed due to its
calm demeanor and ability to treat children as part of its
family. This small dog, usually between 13 and 16-inches tall
will grow to weigh between 18 and 35 pounds, making it an ideal
size for small children. Beagles are also highly intelligent
animals, willing and able to quickly be trained and their
willingness to please their owners make them easy to train new
behaviors. However, they do have a short attention span and can
quickly lose interest if they discover a new scent they want to
follow.

for their pets, breeders are possible one of the better sources
for a healthy animal. A qualified breeder has probably
recognized some of the health issues the puppy may have and will
be able to advise the new owners on any medical care the dog may
require.

expectancy of about 12 years, which is typical of this size dog
breed. However, the breed does have a tendency to develop
thyroid problems and if not able to receive appropriate exercise

Epilepsy is another common problem, but if caught early in the
dog's life can be kept under control with medication.
