Beagle - breed information
Character and temperament:
Gentle, calm and lovable yet lively and curious. Sociable, brave and intelligent dogs. Good with children and other dogs but do have a hunting instinct so need to be well socialized with smaller household pets.
Origin:
Beagles were known to hunt with the Greeks in about 400 B.C. They came to England in Roman times.
General description:
A small to medium sized squarely built dog. Any hound colour including Tri-colour (Black, White & Tan). Sleek, easy care short coat.
Food:
Beagles love eating, they will quite easily become overweight if allowed. They are not fussy eaters.
Exercise:
Beagles need quite a lot of exercise a day. They have a very strong instinct to follow a scent, so should not be allowed off the lead until very well trained. Gardens need to be secure, they will jump or dig to follow a trail! You can buy animal scents to allow your dog to satisfy their instinct to track.
Grooming:
Beagles like to make a mess and roll in mud. A quick brush everyday will keep on top of things. Also, their ears need to be checked regularly.
Other information:
You can expect to pay in the region of 500- 800 for a Beagle with a good pedigree.
