Article From SubmitYOURArticle.com: Beagle Dog Breed Profile Information

The Beagle is a member of the hound family. This
breed is a hardy hound that has the look of the
Foxhound but in miniature. This breed has a
unique howl come bark as they chase their pray on
the hunt. This is a well-built dog that is well
proportioned to look at. The body is slightly
square-built. The head is somewhat domed and
moderately long. As with the body the muzzle is
square and straight and intermediate in length,
the nostrils are full and broad. The nose is

reasonably high and not set over the back. Legs
should be straight with good round feet that are
firm. They have a medium length of coat that is
hard but sleek and is easy to care for. Colours

desirable are tri- colouring, black and tan, red
and white, lemon and lemon and white, orange and

History: The Beagle dogs history has evidence
that goes back to the 1500s. In England hunters
would take packs of these dogs out for hunting as
they work well as a team or on their own. It is
thought that this breed has come from the Harrier
and other English hounds. It was brought to
America and has gained in reputation to become
one of the popular breeds. Here we find the
Beagle is more popular than in its native
country. The National Beagle Club of America was
formed in 1888. There is evidence that this dog
was developed in 1830 in England. When it came to
America it soon helped by injecting beauty into
the previous hounds that had longer legs with
weaker heads that previously were present. Snoopy
from the comic strip "Peanuts" is appropriately
the most famous Beagle to date.

Temperament: The Beagle dog breed needs good
leadership and training. This needs to be firm
but gentle and always consistent. They need a lot
of mental and physical exercise to maintain a
health balance, or you can get a dog that is
obsessively barking, and can have destructive
behaviour when left alone. This dog can suffer
from separation anxiety. All this can be
controlled by good exercise. This is a dog that
loves to tracking, and you will have hours of fun
fulfilling this need in your dog. While out
walking your dog is better to be kept on the
lead, because if he smells something he wishes to
track, he is oblivious to all else, this includes
you trying to call him back. If you meet this
dog's instinctive needs you will have a lovely
pet. They are loving, and like to greet all.
Wonderful with children but it is best not to
trust them with small pets as they have high
natural hunting abilities.

Health issues: In some lines, you can have aka
dwarfism, epilepsy, heart problems, and some
lines have back and eye problems.

Grooming: The Beagle is a fairly easy dog to
groom only needing brushing weekly. Bath only
when it is really needed. Check ears and eyes
weekly for signs of infection.

Living Conditions: Beagles are very active dogs
indoors, but as long as you have enough space
they adapt well to living pretty much anywhere.
They would ideally like a yard in which to play.
It can live in an apartment, as long as they are
well exercised and taken out regularly, as they
need to spend time outdoors, daily.
