The spirited disposition of Beagle puppies make them a friendly
and fun dog breed to have as a pet and while they are a natural
pack animal, they can naturally accept living as part of a family
with people or other animals. Because of the breed’s generally
even temperament, they make ideal pets for families with small
children and even other pets.
For hundreds of years Beagles have been bred for hunting and
have a tendency to roam in search of game, and have been known
to wander away when left unattended. Several Beagle puppies have
become known as escape artists after freeing themselves from fenced
yards or pens. Despite their natural instinct to live as part
of a pack, they have little aversion to head out on their own
to hunt.
You can expect your Beagle puppy to grow to an average of between
10 inches and 16 inches at the shoulder, typically weighing less
than 20 pounds upon reaching adulthood. There are two accepted
breed standards in the United States, those under 13 inches and
those between 13 and 15 inches. While an experienced breeder may
be able to estimate the adult size of a Beagle pup, none can guarantee
the size the Beagle pup may grow as an adult.
Bathing your Beagle pup is not often required, unless it has
found something unappealing to roll around in, and a good brushing
once or twice a week is normally enough to keep the coat of your
Beagle pup clean and lustrous.. A house Beagle generally does
not have any unusually odor, but they may develop an offensive
smell if their diet is too low in fat content.
Beagle’s Loyalty Only Goes So Far
While Beagle puppies love the social interaction with people,
especially children, they are still a pack animal and therefore
can easily adapt to new surroundings. The breed tens to feel lonely
without companionship and if raised in a family environment, will
quickly adapt to a new family. Some animals may enter a new home
and take a few days to become accustomed to new surroundings while
others may act as though they own the place the first day.
Housebreaking Beagle puppies is no more difficult than any other
breed of dog. It takes timing and consistency. The best method
is to overlook mistakes and offer praise and rewards for success.
Remember, Beagle puppies will relieve themselves frequently and
being consistent in its training is one of the more important
aspects of housebreaking.
Your new Beagle pup will require a lot of attention which it
is important to provide the right Beagle puppy care.
