Beagles are hound dogs. They were originally bred to hunt using their noses. They hunted using their noses more than their eyes. Beagles are sometimes referred to as scent hounds. The small Beagles hunted rabbits and the larger ones hunted deer. Beagles have a very strong sense of smell. |
|||||||||||||||||||
These
days Beagles can do many different activities.
They make good hunters,
and they enjoy the sport of tracking.
They enjoy agility and they can be good therapy dogs.
They make very faithful companions.
|
|
Beagles come in two sizes. Some Beagles are 10-13 inches tall and weigh 18-20 pounds. Other Beagles can be 13-15 inches tall and weigh 20-30 pounds. |
These small to medium-size dogs have short, hard coats. Beagles will shed. Beagles need to be bathed occasionally and brushed at least once every week, but it wouldn't hurt to brush more. |
 |
 Beagles
have long ears that hang down almost to their noses.
|
Beagles are usually a combination of black, white, and/or tan. Other Beagles are a reddish and white color. A Beagle's ears need to be checked often for infections and cleaned weekly. |

 |
Beagles don't generally bark a lot. Some like to howl. They do it more if they are left alone too much. Beagles like to be with their family and if they get bored and lonely, they might howl. So it is a good idea to spend lots of time with your little friend. |
| Young Beagles need lots of exercise. As adults, they don't need as much exercise, but they do enjoy playing games and taking walks. |
| A Beagle is a very loving, social animal who wants to spend time with their family. Beagles don't always warm up to strangers right away, but after they get to know them, Beagles are very friendly and good-natured. |

Although Beagles are very friendly, they sometimes get a little possessive about their food. That means they might not want you nearby when they are eating. It's important to respect your dog and leave him alone to eat. |
The Beagle Brigade Some Beagles do an important job for us. They are trained to sniff out food with harmful insects and diseased meats that might be entering the country in luggage or on airplanes. They do this for the United States Department of Agriculture. Thanks, Beagles, for performing a very important job!

"The
best way to get a puppy is to beg for a baby brother —
and they'll
settle for a puppy every time." - Winston
Pendleton
My beagle is 5 years old, and she's a little fat, so
my daddy calls her fat girl. She loves to play in the
snow, and my mom calls her a snow princess. She's
always in my room sniffing for food that I wasn't
suppose to have. She gets crazy after outside potty,
and runs all around our house...she's my girl.
Connor, age 5, Wisconsin USA
Our Beagle's name is Cloe. She is 10 weeks old and she is

My Beagle's name is BJ, short for Bud Jr. which
was my last dog's name. He was a Beagle also. He
loves children and loves to sleep. He is soon to be two
years old in May. He can practically talk to my dad. BJ
listens real well but only knows to beg and catch. His
favorite food is Kibbles and Bits, and his favorite treats
are Beggin' strips. He has hunted since he was a puppy
and loves doing it! The only thing he hates is a bath.

is so cute. But I can't talk about her anymore because

My dog, Clifford, is a Beagle. In the morning he will run
from his bed up to my parent's bed and try to go under all the
covers. He finally gets under and snuggles himself in. We call it
"burrowing". During the afternoon everyone will be at school and
work so Cliff stays in his chair. Yes, that's right, my dog has his
own chair. In our living room he inherited one of our old green
chairs. We put blankets in it and he sleeps all day in his chair.
When it's time to go to bed,Clifford climbs into bed after his walk
and somebody must tuck him in with the blankets on his bed. If
you don't tuck him, then he goes to sleep with my mom and dad
and my dad doesn't really like that. Rebecca, age 10, California USA
My Beagle's name is Brando. He is a very loving dog.
He loves taking baths and going for walks. And he LOVES
eating. I love him so much. He is 6 years old.

I think that she is very cute and cuddly. She gets very
hyper after her bath! It takes us forever to catch her,

fun to play with. I love my dog very much! She can
sometimes be a little trouble maker when she bothers
me when I am sleepy. Timothy, age 8, Pennsylvania USA

in circles on command! She goes absolutely insane
when she hears the word "rabbit"!
