Beagles Facts And Health Issues

By: Moses Wright

Whenever someone thinks of a beagle, the character 'Snoopy' invariably comes to mind. Like the famous character, beagles are charming companions and make wonderful pets for the average family. They are full of energy and serve as loyal pets. Although the beagle started out as a hunting dog, they are suitable for the home as well.

Beagles Appearance - The Beagle has a great sense of smell and a strong instinct for hunting. Beagles come mainly in 2 main sizes, between13 to 15 inches and a smaller size, under 13 inches. They are a member of the AKC's Hound Group. Although there are differences in size, they all sport the similar floppy ears, long tail 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. As they are bright, they can serve as good guard dogs. Beagles have their roots in hunting and thus they have loads of energy and should be exercised to keep them happy. A long walk or playtime outside is perfect for them. It is not advised to let your beagle off the leash as they will follow interesting scents and trails and ignore all previous trainings and the owner.

Beagles get along famously with young children and other breeds, although they are more reserved towards felines. Beagles are full of energy and will show their adoration openly however they can turn sulky if their desires are not fulfilled. They are keen and responsive dogs, alert to emotions and might even feel bad if anyone makes fun of them. Kids should learn not to tease the Beagles keen awareness and emotions.

It is advised to send your beagle pup to training school to get them to learn commands. Beagles have a passion for food and are not choosy, and this is wonderful news when training as they can be rewarded easily. Beagles will even scavenge for scraps in the bins because of their passion to eat.

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. They might face a problem with obesity as they have a passion for treats. Beagles make wonderful companions for the family as they are cheerful and relatively obedient dogs.
