Beagle Breed Details
Details
Breed: Beagle
Names: English Beagle
PetGroup: Hound
Height: 13-15 in

Description: The Beagle has soft brown eyes that betray his warm personality but do not reveal his admirable courage and stamina. A truly trustworthy friend can be found in him and he makes a great family pet as he is eager to romp and play. A good watchdog he can be trained to hunt. Known as the "singing Beagle," he has a sweet hunting voice, but it left alone may howl. Training will alleviate this problem. He will adapt well to a home or kennel environment, but new owners should be aware of natural hunting instincts and he should not be left alone for long periods of time.
Health: *Major Concerns: intervertebral disc disease, CHD
*Minor Concerns: glaucoma, epilepsy
*Occasionally seen: deafness, hemophilia A, cataract
*Suggested tests: hip, eye
Temperment: It loves to explore the outdoors and is an enthusiastic trailer. Given adequate exercise, it is calm, tractable house pet. It is an excellent child's dog, gentle, incredibly tolerant, and always ready to join in a game or adventure. It is an independent breed, however, and may run off if a trail beckons. It barks and howls.
Origin: England
