Beagles Facts and Health Problems Information
Beagles are one of the most popular choices for family pets
nowadays - and for good reason. These adorable, happy dogs
make great family companions. Used for centuries as popular
hunting dogs in packs, these dogs have raced after foxes
and rabbits for years and will make great additions to your
home.
Beagles Appearance - The Beagle has a great sense of smell
and a strong instinct for hunting. Beagles can actually
come in two distinct sizes - under thirteen inches and in
the 13 to 15 inch range. They are a member of the AKC's
Hound Group. Despite a size difference, Beagles all look
the same with droopy ears, long tails and a short coat.
They are typically a combination of tan, black and white
colors, although some are orange, black or tan with white
colorations.
Beagles Characteristics - The Beagle is comfortable in an
apartment or smaller space, but they can annoy neighbors if
they frequently warn you about weird noises. Their
alertness makes them a great watchdog. They are great
hunters and need to be exercised in order to get rid of
their excess energy. A long walk or playtime outside is
perfect for them. Letting the Beagle off the leash is not
recommended since these dogs can pick up a trail and
completely forget about their owners and obedience training.
Beagles love children and dogs, although cats are not their
preferred playmate. They are very playful and very
affectionate, but they can sulk if the don't get what they
want. They can be sensitive dogs with a lot of personality,
and can have their feelings hurt if someone even laughs at
them. Children need to be careful not to hurt the Beagles
sensitive natures.
Beagle puppies should have professional obedience training
when young in order to encourage them to follow commands.
Beagles love to eat and aren't picky, which can be great
during training because they can be rewarded in a variety
of ways. Beagles have even been known to eat trash out of
trashcans because they love to eat so much.
Beagles Health Problems and Grooming - Beagles don't
require a lot of grooming, but they should be brushed once
a week for dirt and loose hairs. With plenty of exercise,
their toenails will wear down on their own, but you might
want to check on them at least once a month.
Beagles are overall a very healthy breed, although heart
disease and epilepsy can be an issue. Also, they can
experience weight-related diseases due to their love of
food. Nevertheless, Beagles are the perfect family dog who
is a happy and well-mannered companion.
