Popularized in part by the infamous "Snoopy" of the "Peanuts" gang, the
Beagle has been extremely popular among dog lovers as a loyal, trusted and
cherished family companion for many, many years. Originally developed in
England, this small, popular trail hound was originally used to hunt rabbits
and hares. Just like Snoopy, Beagles love to sniff, snack and snooze! They
also like to travel, and adapt well to new experiences and surroundings.
Beagles do well in most households, and are especially good with children,
with whom they love to play (and clean up after when bits of food fall to
the floor from high-chairs!) Beagles also make great watch dogs, with a keen
sense of hearing and smell and a great "howl" to scare off intruders.
Beagles come in two sizes; 13 inches and under, and over 13 inches (but
not over 15 inches) The short, harsh coat comes in a variety of shades,
and is quite easy to care for, with frequent rubdowns with a rough towel
or hound mitt. Beagles ears require some care to prevent infection -
inspection, cleaning and dusting with antiseptic powder on a regular
basis is recommended. These loyal, trustworthy, affectionate and very
companiable family dogs enjoy exercise, and should be walked daily to
keep them happy and healthy. A well-fenced yard and walks on a leash are
important, because the Beagles tendency to follow his nose can lead him
off into the wild blue yonder!
