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!

Pocket Beagle ALERT!!

Whether you call them Pocket Beagles, Teacup Beagles, Tea Cup Beagles, Toy Beagles, Miniature Beagles, or Mini Beagles, buying  the smallest Beagle puppy you can find is a sure recipe for a teacup full of heartache! Responsible breeders occasionally will have a puppy that is smaller than it's littermates (it's what we once referred to as the "runt" of the litter). Any breeder that selectively breeds to create a smaller and smaller puppy is not a breeder with whom you want to do business. The reason for this is that smaller puppies usually have a number of health problems. They can suffer from Hypoglycemia (dangerously low blood sugar), knee and hip problems, brain defects, kidney problems, heart problems and more. What's more, these itty bitty dogs are as delicate as flowers, and can easily be injured or killed by being accidentally stepped on or kicked, or from something as seemingly innocent as a fall off of the sofa or bed. Don't buy into this unfortunate trend! Dogs are pets - not fashion accessories or toys. Be sure to buy your Beagle puppy only from a responsible, reputable Beagle breeder. Avoid any breeder who advertises Pocket, Teacup, Miniature, Toy or Mini Beagle puppies.
