Possessed of great stamina, determination and a definite mind of its own, this picturesque and personality-plus little hound has a tendency to roam. Beagles require a well fenced yard and firm, patient handling. The Beagle is lively, active and extremely intelligent, making a devoted friend and companion. Hardy and resilient, it can be happily kept as either a house or a kennel dog. Beagles have a short, dense, weatherproof coat which comes in many attractive colorings, and requires very little grooming.
Beagles tend to keep themselves extremely clean.
Good-natured and steady in temperament, the Beagle has an engaging demeanor which endears it to children and adults alike. A handy size for almost all households, with a handsome appearance and musical voice, the Beagle has something to offer just about everyone. One Beagle owner during the past 7 years said their puppy was terribly frightened by this bark. If you have a very young pup, you may just want to skip this fun for a few more months. The Beagle breed is so old that its ancestry is lost in time.
