Beagle
Merry. Curious. And follow their nose everywhere.
Beagles are happy dogs. They're always wagging. Always sniffing. Always eating.
What They're Like
These dogs are scent hounds. Their nose is their superpower. They'll follow a smell for miles. That's what they were bred to do.
They're friendly. Good with kids. Good with other dogs. They're also stubborn. Very stubborn.
Exercise Needs
High. They need to move. But be careful. Don't let them off leash unless in a fenced area. That nose will lead them away from you.
Training
Challenging. Beagles are food motivated. Use high-value treats. Keep sessions short. They get bored easily.
Health
Generally healthy. But prone to obesity. Watch their food. They will eat anything.
Who Should Get One
Active families. People who understand hounds. Those with secure fences.
The Verdict
Beagles are wonderful. But they need experience. They need exercise. They need a secure yard.
