Breedings to French scent hounds give us the dogs we know as beagles today. The beagle is one of the most popular breeds because it is friendly with people and other animals, loves children, does well with moderate exercise, and can adapt to life in the city, suburbs, or country. Socialization and obedience training at an early age are necessary to avoid behavioral problems, such as digging holes in the yard or constant barking and or howling. The beagle has a tendency to roam while following a scent. Upkeep - The beagle needs to be groomed with a hound glove once a week.
Beagles enjoy vigorous daily walks or the chance to run in a secured area.
