BEAGLE

  • Why we love them: lovable, entertaining...and THOSE EARS!!!

APEARANCE

Beagles typically weigh between 20 to 30 pounds, depending on their height. Beagles have a dense, short coat that is weather-resistant. Their coat can be any color, including tri-color (white, black, and brown), red and white, and lemon. Beagles are known for their large brown or hazel eyes ("puppy dog eyes"), long, hound-like ears, and a high tail with a slight curve.

GROOMING

Beagles are relatively low-maintenance when it comes to grooming. Their short coat requires occasional brushing to remove loose hair and keep it looking shiny. They only need to be bathed as necessary and are generally clean dogs. Regular ear checks are important to prevent infections, given their floppy ears.



PERSONALITY

Beagles are curious, friendly, and affectionate dogs. They have a reputation for being happy-go-lucky and enjoy the company of humans and other dogs alike. Beagles are intelligent but their strong sense of smell can sometimes lead them to be easily distracted by scents, making training a fun challenge. They are known for their loud baying bark, which they use to communicate during hunts and sometimes in the home when they're on the scent of something interesting. Their energy and playfulness make them great companions for active families.

FUN FACT

Beagles have one of the best-developed senses of smell among canines, second only to the Bloodhound.
