We have a 9 month old she-beagle, adopted her when she was 3.5 months old from an owner who gave her no training. We trained her with the help of a trainer. But still facing behavioural and obedience issues: potty training and jumping on other people. It’s impossible for crate train her and give her a bed because she pee on her bed every time and uses her crate only to get in and pee. She’s never happy i side the crate it’s like we’re punishing her to be in the crate. Please help.
Our beagle drives us crazy with begging for food all the time and not listening but the love he gives and those adorable looks is worth every aggravation! I want another one!
Same with mine. I adopted him an my first time ever being around a Beagle. He's actually a Beagle Bull. Always wanting food. I make his food, cause about a month after I got him,he became sick,throwing up then blood in his stool. Vet couldn't find what caused it,but said to put him on wet food. She sold me Hills chicken stew. Five bucks a can. I decided I could make it myself a lot cheaper. Ten lbs of chicken, chicken livers, brown rice, Peas and carrots, sweet potatoes. He loves it. An I get ten quarts of food. Fifteen dollars to make. I feed him a quart a day. Plus his special treats. He loves Greek yogurt with a tablespoon of peanut butter swirled in it, an ice cream cone twice a week, bites of cheese when we're training. One day I left a loaf of bread on the table,I had just came home from shopping. Got everything put up,when the phone rang. It was my daughter and we talked a good thirty minutes. When I went back to the kitchen there was the bag,torn open an not a crumb on the floor. I just knew he was going to be sick from it,maybe another trip to the vet. But he did fine, but after that episode, I can't make a sandwich or toast without him begging for a piece. But I love him,and he loves me. The separate issues are for real.
I rescued my beagle from a fox on the side of the road about 5 years ago, she looked to be about 6-8 weeks old. Got no way of knowing how this came about. Since then copper has been my constant companion, goes with me everywhere. Is the best child dog I ever seen. A few days ago, we accuquired her a little companion beagle, she to is a female. Copper is mother henning her already. For me there could never be another dog as good as this one. Losing her would be worse than losing one of my children, which I did last year. She has helped me get thru this difficult time. I am amazed at the human words she can understand. If I wave at her to come to me she does. If i am having a bad day, she will lay down beside me and put her head on my leg, and stay with me.
I’ve had 9 Beagles in my life. I would never own any kind of dog. My son has a Great Dane and my daughter a Golden Retriever. Honestly it was easier to train my Beagles. Beagles are fantastic for family life. I’ve had a Beagle in an apartment, on a farm, and in a suburban home. Once you know about this dog it’s a fantastic companion. I’ve rescued Beagles who worked at the border, show dogs, and hunting partners. No matter the Beagle - it needs stimulation….
My beagle passed away at 16. He was healthy right up to then. He was an escape artist. Very challenging at first but a beautiful faithful dog that made a massive impact in my life
As a former beagle owner I can say all 10 are true and with two beagles times two! To me the worst part of being a beagle owner is the day they cross the rainbow bridge. The best thing about owning a beagle is the absolute unconditional love they have for you. He miss the excitement of coming home to them. 😢
I love beagles! They're one of my favorite dog breeds. But what really angers me is that people use beagles for animal testing because they're docile and trustworthy. That's why we should shop cruelty-free to save lives. The Beagle Freedom Project is where people should adopt them from cuz they are all beagles that have been rescued from labs. Adopt don't shop or buy from breeders.
I have tried to contact them many times. Even filled out an application. I have two beagles already, a house, a fenced yard, I actually cook all their food. I donated for two years monthly to them. They never replied. They didn’t even respond to follow up requests. I was very disappointed because of all the testing done on beagles has really touched my heart. BFP are kinda jerks if you ask me.
Your comment hit hone for me. I adopted my beagle 5 years ago and was informed that he’d been used as a research dog before that. My poor Sergie was VERY skittish at first. He would cower when my dad was around so he was obviously mistreated by men. He doesn’t bark at ALL so, I’ve always thought that those bastards who used him as a research dog obviously showed him that barking was NOT appropriate. He’s still skittish with a lot of things but, he’s also come a LONG way from when I adopted him. Breaks my heart every time he cowers and starts shaking when he gets scared.
@@becky0474 I honestly think they are a shady organization. Priceless pets(also in southern CA) just rescued 150 beagles from animal testing. They are actively placing them in homes and that’s where we got our sweet lemon beagle from(around 3 years ago). I experienced the same as you and honestly came to the conclusion it’s just for Instagram and most likely just taking peoples money. Also on the priceless let’s the owner genuinely loves hound dogs and they are Constantly rescuing them and placing them in homes. I get wanting to find the right place but I have heard too many of the same stories coming from that other organization.
My beagle passed back in June. I had him from 8 months of age to about 13 years. I did my research, and because of that, I found that housebreaking him and training him basic commands far less difficult than so many experts told me to expect. I'd leave him at my parents' place, and get a call he'd run out the door. Once he saw me pull up, he ran straight into my arms. One thing you mention regards training with treats; while I did that, I never let him get overweight (and I've seen plenty of obese beagles). Next time around, I'll avoid the training with treats, and rely on praise. Even my cat misses my beagle (the cat was fascinated with all those beagles in the video), but I need to make sure I'm ready for the responsibility again.
Love love love your channel As a beagle owner I struggle to find good training books or dog training videos because they're such a specific breed that they need their own type of positive training
Yes, you are very right. Positive training is best for us beagles. If you yell at us we shut down and don’t want to work. But we do make great companions if you know how to care for us!
@@kellythegroomer8672 We should learn how to train dogs using positive methods of training so we won't need to use force, aggression, or even domination.
Wow, listening to this I realize how great our little Beagle was. She came to us at about 6 months old. We never formally trained her. To potty train her I simply used consistency. I would get up at least three times during the night to take her out. Within a year she was trained and no accidents in the house. When she came to us we did already have an older dog (Schnauzer mix). That may have helped her transition. Eventually the older dog died when the Beagle was 5. But I never saw her have separation anxiety. Of course we paid a lot of attention to her -- we did to both dogs. They were very much a part of our life. By the time the Beagle was the only dog, I think she was feeling very secure in her environment and understood our schedule. It never seemed to bother her when we left and most times we found her to be sleeping when we got home. We never locked her in a kennel, she always had free run in the house and she never destroyed anything. In fact, I did not think Beagles capable of destroying anything. That information kind of took me by surprise. Our Beagle was actually pretty calm all the time. The only time she showed excitement was if she caught a sniff of something while on walks. Often we had to run along with her as she 'followed' the trail -- 'blowing the trumpet' as we called it. She lived to 14, and it was cancer that took her. We have an acre of fenced property. Her most favorite thing to do was 'sniff' out food. Whether we should have done it or not; we would literally throw and scatter very small treats throughout the yard, then take her out. Always sniffing the ground she would find the first one, and then it was on. She could spend hours searching that yard looking for those snacks. During the cold winter I would scatter a few snacks throughout the house while she was sleeping and she would spend hours looking for them. The most special thing with her was, when you got home, she could smell you while in a deep sleep and she would wake up. Then she would climb down from her bed and promptly walk over to you and demand a hug. She would lift up on her back legs and pull on you with her front paws. You had to kneel down and literally wrap your arms around her and hug her. Once she got her hug she was good to go. I never had a dog that demanded a literal hug. So special.
So beautiful!!! Our handsome lemon beagle, Bili passed away last month to stomach cancer. It hit us hard as it was very unexpected, he was gone super fast, he didn't have any symptoms and he was our first dogson, we don't have any other children/dogs. He was super loving and smart, he understood hand signs and voice commands and we were looking forward to his first spring in Canada but he sadly didn't make it. We miss him every single day.
My first beagle, Hannah, lived almost 18 years old. I'm a beagle person and love this breed. I really don't have any complaints,I have another beagle, her name is Gabby.
My Daisy only lived to see 16. She had cancer sadly. If took me years to get another. For my 3 year old daughter. and they love each other right to death. My favorite breed for life
You nailed it. I will say once our beagle got comfortable knowing this was his home and we would always come back, he never tried to escape and separation anxiety went away. But the begging for food never went away and is the one thing that annoys us. The noise (the noise!) and the stubbornness are now just part of his charm.
The food bagging probably started long time ago as a simple sharing food from the table which has now become a habit. Try feeding your beagle in slow feeder food at the same time that you have dinner.
My beagle just died yesterday, i took care of him since day 1 and it breaks my heart, now i go home and no longer see my beagle waiting for me, no longer see him in his spot ni my bed room and most of all our routines, this completely changed my life. This sucks. Wish i could hug him again.
so deeply sorry for you....I lost a beagle as well and I was devastated... a month later I felt I needed to rescue a beagle and I did... she is my world... RESCUE your next beagle...I felt it was my VALENTINO sending me the rescue pup.. now she is 16Y OLD and going strong... bless others and GOD WILL BLESS YOU... Check the beagle rescue project..
My 9 year old beagle has some of these traits (especially the love of food), but there are some great things about them too! They love everyone and are not remotely aggressive. They love to play with other dogs and don’t get in fights. You’re so right about getting more than one though-they are dogs that really need company.
We had a beagle/GS mix growing-up. He wasn't barkative, didn't have any heath issues until he reached old age despite everyone feeding him and being overweight. He lived to be 14 y/o, just the same.
This is for anyone who is thinking about being Beagl Owner: My companion is one year old now and I kind of discard most of the comments. For example: Beagles are foody but try him feeding the same food for a week .... he will end up sleeping empty stomach! About behaviour trainings ..... it depends so much on how social you made him during his 1st year. Since he have seen and sniffed so many people down the line ...he hardly cares who passes by ... by he makes sure who enters his house...which is something desirable. In the end I would say I am more than satisfied to have a beagle in my family who understands me the way no one can
My beagle is 10 years old and he has been a great dog. I didn't do anything out od the ordinary with his training. And I haven t had any problems at all. He does shed a lot. I would say to anyone getting one they are a typical dog. Be patient when they r pups and u will have a great buddy. They are food thief's lol.
I am a first time dog owner and i got a beagle. I prepared myself way in advance and with consistency and never giving in I have a well-behaved 5 month-old girl, who in the woods walks off leash and comes in if i ask her. We connect vers well. She is great with my children, never aggressive. Good luck for every one! Great video and love the way you handle your dogs!!
That is awesome. Thank you for your feedback. 5 month old is just too young to be off-leashed. She is doing well now but being free at young age may lead to some unwanted behaviours later. Just a suggestion. Don't be afraid to keep her on leash 80% of the times. I explain more here: ua-cam.com/video/Ol99CMxfWhI/v-deo.html
Wow. I have had three beagles and you are right on all this. I now have a better understanding and respect for some of the traits that were difficult. Independent is exactly who they are but understanding why is helpful. Yes...my neighbors did NOT like any of my beagles. Noisiest dogs ever but the more loving and snuggly dogs I have ever owned. And GOOD WITH CHILDREN. Oh my gosh, my granddaughters thought our dogs were there sisters. That alone made all the mayhem worth it.
When my beagle was a puppy he was all over the house destroying things or guarding things he finds like used tissues and even marking I followed your advice of keeping our beagle on leash even in the house until he listens to us and follows the commands Now he's 1.5 years old and we are able to keep him off leash around the house for several hours This is a huge progress for him And you are correct toys and other motivations are a more effective way to train a beagle than treats cz that's when he truly connects and works with us🐶👍🏻
This is helpful, we have a 4 mo beagle, basset hound pugg mix! Hes most definitely hyper and I can't keep up with his energy. Been binge watching training videos🙌
Just said goodbye to my 16 year old beagle/ Jack Russell who loved everyone from children , adults and every animal from cats, birds.. He was the most calm, loving soul dog I have ever own.. I am hoping to find another one soon
This was actually really helpful. We got our first beagle (and our first dog) and this helps me understand him so much better. I now know what to expect and how to work with him. We love our beagle even after he learned how to push out the kitchen chairs and jump up onto the table 😆🤪🥰🥰
Too smart for their own good too. My beagle watches me and learned to open a variety of doors and latches , they're sneaky learners. We don't let her see how we open tbe baby gate , she opens all types of kennels to get I N them to search for food. The ruff land kennel require thumbs so that a good beagle proof one. She opens Impact crates, wire crates, her furniture crate with a latch. We never intended on her to learn this but she run over sits and watches your hand movements.
Happy to have found your channel. Just adopted a 10 week old beagle mix puppy. He’s been home (with me) almost 3 weeks now and so far, pretty good! He’s my 1st puppy ever & I live in an apartment building. Slightly scared but he’s really great!!
That is awesome! You will do great as long as you do your part. I went through the same thing. To help you out, I suggest you to watch the following videos for sure. ua-cam.com/video/8royd4vYGio/v-deo.html
I adopt senior beagles and at the moment have two. Wonderful companions! Funny, joyful, and loving. Both my beagles love meeting people and kids. I will add to #1 Stubbornness: "Nose on, Ears off." Beagles indulge in selective deafness, esp. when on a scent. So a firm hand is often needed on walks. Also, I emphasize Saro's requirement of exercise. Two decent walks a day go a long way to settle the beagles for training and quiet living.
Congrats. Have fun with your beagle. Don't forget to watch my beagle puppy training playlist to learn more about your beagle. ua-cam.com/video/Cjmt5xu9qiI/v-deo.html
I had 1 beagle and 1 Dashund I had named my beagle 'Snoopy' The Dashund was 5 years elder to the beagle but they got along like brothers Until my Dashund passed away just 1 month away from becoming 16years old Then my sister got another Dashund and the beagle was father like to it My beagle passed away last year due to getting tumor twice, he was 14 years Still miss him 😭
@@FlavourlessLife Beagles are more challenging than daschunds. Although they are low on the ground and sniff all the time, beagles take the trophy for being more scent dogs than them.
So honest. ❤️. But they will steal your heart so quickly, you find yourself in love and are so willing to put up with them! 😂. And can’t imagine life without one!
Yes, all true. Sadly mine passed shy of 12 years. He was very healthy up to that point and then he developed back issues which no vet could tell my what the issue was did not set well with me. He was given steroids initially and it went away, it came back 6 months later, more steroids and seemed to be back to normal. However, the third time it didn't work. After a spinal tap he lost all function in his rear legs and was so desperately hurting. He was all of those things listed. I wish I had two but everything else you learn. Luckily he wasn't a barker/bayer when home alone but did have extreme separation anxiety. I had him at work while he was young and I couldn't even leave the room knowing my co worker had him. I worked on it with him and he did get better. Despite all of the things we beagle lovers deal with we enjoy how much joy they bring to our lives. They're always happy, wan't to engage you and want to be with you.....just make sure you stick to a schedule and tucker him/her out you'll less likely have a mischievous hound while you're out.
We love our Beagle never ever think twice about our choice. Loki is so smart so loyal and has never behaved any different then any other pup. It’s all about the consistency. He was never crated either that don’t work for us. He gets plenty of attention great diet lots of excercise and has his space in the home. Yep that’s right like all dogs need balance. Not lazy owners who feed there dogs ppl food and no attention. And the love he gives is unconditional.
You are 100% wrong on this...this video is very accurate BUT does NOT emphasize strongly enough how severe these issues are. YES they are GOOD with KIDS for sure and people.....but the rest makes it a vey hard dog to own AND you will probably lose him within a month and he WILL get killed in the street within seconds of escaping if you live in a City....they do not nor cannot see or hear Cars or vehicles when they are sniffing...thats how powerful their nose is....If you Want a Beagle....which of course you have that right....do so with the guidelines in this video AND you MUST have a Backyard and it should be impossible to escape....fence must be buried deep, and high and unclimable. It is a Very loving dog, but hard as hell to take care of...had over 30 animals...Beagle was the hardest.
Great video. I hope anyone considering a beagle watches this first. All the information stated is true from my personal experience. That being said, I LOVE my beagle and I feel I will always have one in my life now.
I have a beagle her name is Queenie, she is stubborn at times, when it's time to leave the local airport that has a lot of land for her to run and explore. I found that my beagle needed 2 or 3 hours of strong independent roaming everyday. This roaming let's her be the dog she is breed to be. We tried the doggy park , it did not work because all types of dogs come in from German Shepherds, Great Danes, pitbull etc. So I found this local airport that has bushes, wildlife, and well maintained. So I let her of leash and she roams for hours. I bring her home she plays around the house and she is good til the next day. Oh beagles love to chew on plastic so make sure you put away eyeglasses, bluetooth, chargers.
We had one beagle, that lasted a few months and we went and got another. I’ve had dogs before but I’ve never got my dog a dog until I had a beagle. One had a thin coat and the other had so much hair I couldn’t brush her enough. Her hair was so wiry it would stick in my foot like a needle. We used to say they were noses on feet and they would ask for kibble after they already ate. It helps with training. We trained our loud girl to use her “inside voice”. They knew a lot of commands and were super smart. We spent a lot of time training them, they are happier when they are trained.
All true. Thanks Saro! 😊 I wish I knew this before I got a Beagle. I had many dogs in my lifetime, but this breed is the most hyper, and never wanted to be leashed, she would cry loud so she would get what she wants. They are smart too, so u are right, my beagle knows how to even escape and find her way out to get what she wants. They are stubborn and I have to discipline her all the time. Though she is calm and love it that she can be independent sleeping alone , separated from us. Of all the breeds i had, i like it least, and my favorite is dachshund because they are sweet and behave and easy to train.
I wish more people would watch this - here in Portugal, lots of people are trying to rehome their Beagle via social media, coming up with all kinds of excuses (like, the landlord doesn't allow the dog any more - when the law clearly states that no landlord is allowed to forbid owning a dog or cat...). I strongly suspect it's because of the noise, and the Beagle destroying people's home when left alone all day, whilst people are working. Luckily, we live in a very remote area in a large house with land around. Our dogs are in the house most of the time, but even when outside, excessive barking is not allowed. But then again, this is Portugal, land of the barking dogs around the clock, and the local rabbit hunting dogs have the same bay and howl, so people will be used to the sound palette, lol!
My Beagle used to play with the trash bin when he was alone. Once I left the house and came back in 5 minutes because I had forgotten something, and he had already broken the trash bag and spread everything on the floor. It took him just 5 minutes to wreck all that havoc lol. He's really missed.
Never get just one beagle, always get two. Wow I typed this before watching your video, LOL. They are so high energy that you really need two of them because when you are tired of playing they will play with each other. Howling is not a problem as howling is what beagles do! We call beagle shedding "beagle glitter". BTW all pure bred beagles will have white on the tip of their tail, on all four feet and on their face. Watch as they trail something that tail with its white flag will be sticking straight up. That's bred into them so the hunter can see them working in tall grass or brush. They are also one of the oldest breeds going back thousands of years to ancient Egypt.
I love my beagle, and he is high maintenance. He pulls alot on walks, and loves to bark at joggers or bikers, and other dogs. He is very stubborn and wont listen to me when I tell him to stop slamming our living room window when he sees other people passing by. I have alot more training to do. Also very true about the beagle not leaving its owners side. My beagle loves to sleep under my bed.
I had a beagle for 8 years after our prior *springer died. Our beagle came to us as an overweight 6 year old from the Humane Society. He had been turned into the Humane Society because of his begging and someone in his former home developed allergies to him. First thing I did was put tubby beagle on a diet and got his weight under control. Since I never had the opportunity to train him I introduced training slowly and one thing at a time. After a couple years he became a fine companion and he has only escaped our 5 acre property one time and I saw him in a neighbors pasture. I grabbed his leash and went and retrieved him. Today being a 14 year old elderly beagle he is great with his companion dogs in the house but he does set his own schedule and comes to me at the set time everyday for what he wants, needs and even comes to me at his bed time for a hug then walk to his bed and get his nightly brushing, Coopers speaks to me with barks and when it is treat time he is very vocal when I get his celery and peanut butter treat. Cooper our beagle can be demanding and when I grab the car keys of course that is his time alone with me. His other companions is a jack Russell and a springer spaniel. The funny thing is when I put the food out he eats his food and by the time he is finished he has his head in the springers dish which is empty but since they get alone so well they never have a food fight it is just 2 heads in one bowl.
Ikr, how long do other dogs live?!? I know small dogs, like my parents Chihuahua lived to like 18-19 but not much more than that is common from what I know
@@MsAqaqSwsw unless the breed is especially unhealthy, life is inverse of size. Chihuahuas are the longest lived breed, great Danes the shortest for the most part
Very true , they are very lovable and they are like Vaccum machine. They just stick to a scent till they find out the source or we have to interrupt and cut them off.
Good video. Finally someone who speaks from experience instead of just regurgitating someone else's information. Thanks for the information. My Basenji had a lot of similar traits especially the stubbornness.
We just adopted a beagle mix (don't have a clue what the other part is). We named him Brady. He is around 3yrs. and very beagle looking except long & skinny. We have a 13yr old dog, India, who is about 2xs his size. Brady is very sweet, but has learned some bad habits from whatever his life was before us. He was encouraged to jump on laps and into arms of standing people! (we do not want that!) When he wants something (like on my lap) he bays and the only way to stop it is to go do something else and this distracts him. I don't want to reward him, so I wait until he is distracted and then get on the floor and hug him a bit until he is relaxed. We are working 2xs a day on walking him on leash and it is a huge struggle. We are using a harness. We have a big problem of getting him to even acknowledge us when we're taking a walk. He doesn't even pay any attention to India. He won't look at us or India at all. I think that he was loose for awhile before animal control caught him and neutered him. He has good evidence that a large dog or coyote bit him or picked him up by the head! We have a 15yr. old cat, Phoebe, that he isn't aggressive to, but we have to stop him from chasing her/eating her food/getting in the cat box. We have a big table where we put her food/water/cat box and an area to lay down where she can also look out the window, but it is difficult for her to walk freely around the house unless Brady is sleeping. And he just figured out how to get up on the table, so now we're trying to figure out how our cat can be comfortable doing her normal stuff. I am using a leash indoors some of the time, so that Brady can't get out of my site when I'm on the computer etc. - also giving Phoebe some freedom. We've had Brady for 3 weeks, and he is time consuming. Also, he eats kleenex/paper towels/hair etc. and we've had 2 bouts of him throwing up a lot and constantly licking the floor. We give him Pepto Bismol, Metamucil, yogurt to get on the other side of that issue. Whew!
I have a beagle her name is rosie and she is postive because of you and she is 4 years old and she is trained thank you for being apart for my dog love you
My favorite thing about my 1 year old Beagle is when we go to bed he likes to crawl all over me and act silly. As long as I act like the pack leader and use a firm voice he listens to me and always wants to go where I'm going. Every time he howls it just makes me laugh. I love it. I wish I had more.
I am so lucky with my Beagle, he doesn't beg for food at the table or goes for the bin which is right by his bed . Once he has his breakfast & dinner he is not lnterested at all in food or treats, which I've tried so hard with him for training 🤣 but saying that ??? Chicken has helped alot with that job & Finley is such a lovely Beagle & well behaved rounded dog . Only problem i do experience now is that he thinks that he owns the hole neighbour hood & ever one that walks pass our windows he barks !! Part from that he is beautiful and first class Beagle 😍. So any tips for you would be fantastic. Love from ENGLAND in Sheffield South Yorkshire ❤ Thank you 😊 🙏
Thank you for subscribing (hopefully). Watch this video because there are lots of clues and solutions for you to address this behaviour. ua-cam.com/video/rq-Kg4Lmonc/v-deo.html
I have a 10yo beagle. We adopted him from a shelter and he previously changed 4/5 family because of his behaviour I suppose. He is aggressive sometimes and he can not stand some kind of dogs. He sometimes bits even if we just cuddle him, maybe he thinks we're trying to do something bad. We have him now for 5 years and he improved a lot but there are some behaviour i think he will neve lose. Anyway, i love him, he follows me wherever i go, sit beside me and always want me to rub his belly. Beagles are adorable!
My beloved Beagle died at 12 1/2 . He suffered from epilepsy, cataract on both eyes an heart problems at the end. He was the most easy going and adorable creature - so sad that he`s gone😪
My beloved beagle/lab mix crossed over the rainbow bridge this past Christmas Eve at age 11 (she got severely sick very quickly). But I am thinking of getting a lemon beagle once I am emotionally ready. Best thing I did was crate train her. Didn’t have to worry about any trouble while i am gone. She found out that she got even more treats if she went in on her own so she would go in any time she thought I could be leaving 😂 the noise thing was never a problem. She was loud outside and when she didn’t get her way but she didn’t react to noises outside or anything. She was the best dog ever and would recommend a beagle to anybody who has time and energy to invest in a dog
When my beagle was a puppy he was very destructive. Since then he has been sweet, lovable, and a great companion. I love his bark. It is true that they are stubborn and will pull on my leash. but he is a great pet.
We had a bulldog prior and now have a rehomed beagle. Honestly, the worst thing is they seem to beg much more persistently. Everything else has been pretty standard dog behaviors and helping her to settle in. Also, 18 years for a medium size dog is great. That's the life span of a small dog. That's awesome. Our last dog went 13 years somehow in a breed that usual only goes 6-10 years. If you care for them, keep them exercised, and keep up with yearly wellness visits, life span estimates, even for purebreds, can be over shot. (And if you can't afford yearly vet, honestly, you really aren't ready for any pet.)
I think, the yearly vet checks are great to have but also a fresh diet and avoiding yearly vaccinations plus some good daily exercise are the key to longevity.
Got to admit, I got a beagle (at 3 months old) without doing the research beforehand. Boy was I under prepared! Haha. She is now 14 months old, and after a lot of hard work (mistakes and successes) she behaves like a reasonably trained canine.. even able to take her for walks off the lead now!
My beagle was diagnosed with heart murmur at 6yrs, He is now 10 and in congestive heart failure! Mine was the runt and was always sick(gastro-entritis, infections, hot spots..) He is my 4th beagle and i adore the breed. We hunt so hounds are the best for our lifestyle! We also have working dogs(malamute), we are from Canada so winter working dogs are a must. We also have 23 acres of land and we do our own lumber for winter. I really believe that every owner should choose their dog depending on their lifestyle not by their cuteness! I also use a whistle for my beagle, even when he is far, he will come when he hears it! We dont use it anymore bc his heart and medications wont let him exercice anymore but it worked for all of my previous beagles too. Treats always helps😁
@@SaroDogTraining We got a lot of bunnies and birds, he also caught ducks and would chase off deers, mooses and bears! With his pack of course, we had 4 beagles and 1 malamute😁 and they all slept indoors with our cat lolll
i am sorry to hear that your beagle has thyroid issue. Diet and food should be your number one approach to healing your beagle. Remove medication as soon as you can and focus on improving your beagle's life.
I have had beagles all my life. They are definitely some of the smartest dogs ever. Mine (Duke his name) gets out his crate. All the time. And yes opens doors. And he's only 5 months old. They are to smart for their own good.
Hi, thanks so much for this excellent video. I think a life expectancy of 16 - 18 (?) years is more what a Jack Russell or Chihuahua would have though; but even 12 - 15 years is amazing. We lost our German Shepherd with only 7 years due to DM (a degenerative disorder), and decided to get a Beagle also because their life expectancy is an estimated double (many German Shepherds die too young unfortunately due to health problems). BUT NOW we have fallen VICTIM to what you call "problem number 10"! We've been enjoying the past 8 months with our Beagle so much that, just yesterday, the decision was made in the household to ADD a second Beagle in spring/summer of next year. Once our boy is a responsible adult, lol, let's hope he'll ever get there. Frankly I would be afraid to adopt a Beagle with uncertain background and genetics, just due to the health issues they might have. Some Beagle owners we know did this and had their puppy come to the home with life-threatening conditions, and I'm not selfless enough to be ok with experiencing this: Spending a year witnessing our rescue German Shepherd's health decline has left a mark for us. So, the next Beagle will be (once again) a puppy from a professional Beagle breeder who performs health testing and genetic screening on his Beagles.
"those eyes that demand more food"=100% true!!! I will say I've been very lucky with my beagles. I've had 5 total, the most at once 3 plus 1 foster=4. They have been quiet and done super well on leashes, even walking 4 at once. The separation anxiety has been hit or miss (I'm sure many of you have half eaten miniblinds too). They definitely shed, but at least it doesn't float like husky hair. They definitely are escape artists (just ask Ruthie who ate her way through grandma and grandpa's laundry room door).
Energy, energy, energy! You have to get them exercise outside, even if 10 degrees out but with a sweater. They will take you for a walk as their nose is their tracker and they resemble a vacuum cleaner. Harness with leash is a must as they are totally focused on exploring. Too expensive of a pet to just let roam. You should get them outside at a minimum 2 times a day to do their "job" . Out of a 12 hour day, you should expect to monitor them every 15 minutes as they are always up to something unless you have a totally confined area to let them roam inside the house. If they roam your main house, you have got to pick up everything or else they will have it in their mouth---curlers, toilet paper, cardboard, plastic bags, remote control... "bought toys" are good for about two hours until the stuffing is torn out or the hard rubber ones start to get chunks chewed off of them.. Sometimes a snack is the only way to release the foreign object out of their mouths. Table food and scraps will be the norm once you start with it, but it is hard not to give them something you are eating as your guilt sets in. No onions or chocolate! In summary, wear them out so they will take a 1/2 nap in order for you to get something done, for when they awake, the game is on again. If you wear them out, they will usually sleep the whole night. Hopefully you will have a minimum of 2 people to change off with the beagle's demands...with only one person it is way too demanding....Very lovable dog if you have the routine down and can dedicate your time to them. They love kissing you so sometimes you forget everything else--for that minute! However, you will have so much love for them that you will do anything for them--just try to avoid being "superhuman" and get help from others at times. You should be on the younger side, not a dog for the senior citizen unless the beagle is a senior also. Most photogenic dog ever! One more thing to add---never try to take food out of their mouth as they will severely bite you. They have two possession modes--they will come to you with a toy and that means they want to play...but POSSESION OF THEIR FOOD IS TOTALLY DIFFERENT as they don't care who their caretaker is at that point and time...
It's been a week and we are exhausted (the only time we have with my hus is when the puppy is asleep) i wish i watched this video first.. they are like a new born baby.
Never had any dogs like a Beagle. I had many pure breed dogs in the past before they went to heaven. My Beagle is so smart, the smartest one compared all my past dogs if i could say. She does her potty so well since she was 7 weeks old. She follows all of my commands for "come", "sit", "stay", "wait", "lay down", "paw", "snout", even she will open her mouth and dropping whatever in her mouth to my hand if i said "stop" since she was 3 months old. She barely barks, she only bay which is so cute. She loves to snuggling with her cutest way in my lap. The struggling thing only she's too friendly to all people and being docile with another dogs by wagging her tails like a fan and lay down exposing her belly everytime we encountered other dogs when i walked her. But hey, who needs a guardian? We human also must be a guardian for our beloved dog - because none dogs could overpowered humans, whatever the breed is.
Are beagles good with cats if raised from a pup? What about if I adopt an adult? We have a 2 yo English Setter to keep her busy (and daycare and hikes).
Mine does too. He will give me ‘dirty looks’ when he’s upset or even when he doesn’t get what he wants. I just tell him “don’t look at me like that. Loose the attitude mister.” He will often give me a deep frustrated sigh afterwards lol
My beagle Denver is 2 and I'm lucky enough to be able to take him to work with me. He's never been alone before if I go to the movies my mom takes him xo
@Saro Dog Training, my furniture is gone with his extra shedding. But i still love him 💗 he is someone close to my heart and I don't care but I love him
I would say my hardest problem with beagles is they r so curious they tend to search for ways out of the yard and r stubborn to come when called. And he is stubborn with the kennel. He used to sleep in our bed all the time but since we got a second dog he sleeps in his cage together and he hates it and would throw a loud tantrum.
My family took care of a beagle on a off towards the last like 4 years of his life and he was nothing but loving. I didn’t really notice any of these problems but he did die of cancer not old age even though he was old. I’m definitely planning on getting a beagle when I move out as I have been training our family havanese for the past 1.5 that we’ve had her so I’m practicing on her.
My beagle katey is now 13 ,I agree with the majority of what you are saying but she always gets her own way,she doesn’t live with me I live with her,and I don’t mind at all as long as she is happy she can be the boss,lol,she has been my best friend and constant companion for 13 years and she is very much loved and adored,yes she is a money Pitt what with vet expenses especially as she is getting older,but then again you can’t put a price on unconditional love ,great videos my friend
I got a smart beagle/dachshund mix. He was at a puppy rescue outreach at Petco sponsored, our local shelter had so many puppies so I just went to look. We got there at 2 and my daughter picked him up. She was 15. I told her it has to be a small breed. They told me he was chiweenie but he was Doxle. He is my BFF and he stares at me all day. I stay at home a lot or he goes with me.
Omg just found your channel we have a 4 year old beagle this video is so helpful and true based on my experience with my beagle thanks and new subscriber here lots of love from the Philippines 🇵🇭😊🐕💕
I just got a 5 month old beagle and I really don't know what to do because his last owner didn't train him, and watching your vids makes me want to train him moree but my problem is he's already 5 months old and he's already doing so many bad habits.. Please help me to train him so he could get along with my other dogs.. Thank youu, you're an amazing beagle owner!
My beagle is very good in my apartment. He cries at first when I leave but then he's good. He has bad allergies sometimes! I love him so much! He sleeps with me and takes over my bed! Lol, I was thinking about changing his diet! He is extremely stubborn!
That's great! Defiantly, I would suggest changing the diet to help your beagle relief from allergies. This video may help you. ua-cam.com/video/Zzqulgq6k3M/v-deo.html
How long did it take you to train your beagle to be independent in your apt? I’m getting one - I live in an apt, and my anxiety is through the roof wondering about his baying/howling.
hi my beagle is 12 she has always slept in a crate in the kitchen with no problems all her life , the last month she will not go in it at night and howls until she is with us up stairs on a bed on the floor . does separation anxiety get worse when they are older in your experience
Yes, just like humans, as dogs get older they start behaving like babies or puppies because they are senses are more sensitive so they became more needy.
Saro: So, VERY Accurate! Funny how beagle-lovers are always working on issues that "WE" found to be really CUTE when they were puppies! LOL. My beagle LOVES to unroll the toilet paper off the holder. Cute when he was a puppy... not so cute during the pandemic TP shortage! Still: The Best of Breeds! :).
What can you add to this list? What does not apply to your beagle?
We have a 9 month old she-beagle, adopted her when she was 3.5 months old from an owner who gave her no training. We trained her with the help of a trainer. But still facing behavioural and obedience issues: potty training and jumping on other people. It’s impossible for crate train her and give her a bed because she pee on her bed every time and uses her crate only to get in and pee. She’s never happy i side the crate it’s like we’re punishing her to be in the crate. Please help.
Destroying his bed and blankets and it's so annoying
We're tried so many types of beddings and he still manages to rip them :/
My beagle is 10 in November, so I think she's living a pretty long life.
They bite everything when they are little, the loovee the smell of plastic and chewing plastic. Toilet paper rolls are not safe either
My dog is a walker beagle we got her when she was 8 week old and her name is Bella
Our beagle drives us crazy with begging for food all the time and not listening but the love he gives and those adorable looks is worth every aggravation! I want another one!
So true!
Same with mine. I adopted him an my first time ever being around a Beagle. He's actually a Beagle Bull. Always wanting food. I make his food, cause about a month after I got him,he became sick,throwing up then blood in his stool. Vet couldn't find what caused it,but said to put him on wet food. She sold me Hills chicken stew. Five bucks a can. I decided I could make it myself a lot cheaper. Ten lbs of chicken, chicken livers, brown rice, Peas and carrots, sweet potatoes. He loves it. An I get ten quarts of food. Fifteen dollars to make. I feed him a quart a day. Plus his special treats. He loves Greek yogurt with a tablespoon of peanut butter swirled in it, an ice cream cone twice a week, bites of cheese when we're training. One day I left a loaf of bread on the table,I had just came home from shopping. Got everything put up,when the phone rang. It was my daughter and we talked a good thirty minutes. When I went back to the kitchen there was the bag,torn open an not a crumb on the floor. I just knew he was going to be sick from it,maybe another trip to the vet. But he did fine, but after that episode, I can't make a sandwich or toast without him begging for a piece. But I love him,and he loves me. The separate issues are for real.
I rescued my beagle from a fox on the side of the road about 5 years ago, she looked to be about 6-8 weeks old. Got no way of knowing how this came about. Since then copper has been my constant companion, goes with me everywhere. Is the best child dog I ever seen. A few days ago, we accuquired her a little companion beagle, she to is a female. Copper is mother henning her already. For me there could never be another dog as good as this one. Losing her would be worse than losing one of my children, which I did last year. She has helped me get thru this difficult time. I am amazed at the human words she can understand. If I wave at her to come to me she does. If i am having a bad day, she will lay down beside me and put her head on my leg, and stay with me.
@@donniedale3522 copper 😍😍😍 how perfect!!!
I’ve had 9 Beagles in my life. I would never own any kind of dog. My son has a Great Dane and my daughter a Golden Retriever. Honestly it was easier to train my Beagles. Beagles are fantastic for family life. I’ve had a Beagle in an apartment, on a farm, and in a suburban home. Once you know about this dog it’s a fantastic companion. I’ve rescued Beagles who worked at the border, show dogs, and hunting partners. No matter the Beagle - it needs stimulation….
Thank you for sharing your feedback. I agree very much.
I guess you meant to type “own any *other* kind of dog”.
My beagle passed away at 16. He was healthy right up to then. He was an escape artist. Very challenging at first but a beautiful faithful dog that made a massive impact in my life
As a former beagle owner I can say all 10 are true and with two beagles times two! To me the worst part of being a beagle owner is the day they cross the rainbow bridge. The best thing about owning a beagle is the absolute unconditional love they have for you. He miss the excitement of coming home to them. 😢
OMG 😢 I know that feeling
I love beagles! They're one of my favorite dog breeds. But what really angers me is that people use beagles for animal testing because they're docile and trustworthy. That's why we should shop cruelty-free to save lives. The Beagle Freedom Project is where people should adopt them from cuz they are all beagles that have been rescued from labs. Adopt don't shop or buy from breeders.
Thank you for sharing this.
I have tried to contact them many times. Even filled out an application. I have two beagles already, a house, a fenced yard, I actually cook all their food. I donated for two years monthly to them. They never replied. They didn’t even respond to follow up requests. I was very disappointed because of all the testing done on beagles has really touched my heart. BFP are kinda jerks if you ask me.
indeed, you are exactly correct!!!!!
Your comment hit hone for me. I adopted my beagle 5 years ago and was informed that he’d been used as a research dog before that. My poor Sergie was VERY skittish at first. He would cower when my dad was around so he was obviously mistreated by men. He doesn’t bark at ALL so, I’ve always thought that those bastards who used him as a research dog obviously showed him that barking was NOT appropriate. He’s still skittish with a lot of things but, he’s also come a LONG way from when I adopted him. Breaks my heart every time he cowers and starts shaking when he gets scared.
@@becky0474 I honestly think they are a shady organization. Priceless pets(also in southern CA) just rescued 150 beagles from animal testing. They are actively placing them in homes and that’s where we got our sweet lemon beagle from(around 3 years ago). I experienced the same as you and honestly came to the conclusion it’s just for Instagram and most likely just taking peoples money.
Also on the priceless let’s the owner genuinely loves hound dogs and they are Constantly rescuing them and placing them in homes. I get wanting to find the right place but I have heard too many of the same stories coming from that other organization.
My beagle passed back in June. I had him from 8 months of age to about 13 years. I did my research, and because of that, I found that housebreaking him and training him basic commands far less difficult than so many experts told me to expect. I'd leave him at my parents' place, and get a call he'd run out the door. Once he saw me pull up, he ran straight into my arms. One thing you mention regards training with treats; while I did that, I never let him get overweight (and I've seen plenty of obese beagles). Next time around, I'll avoid the training with treats, and rely on praise. Even my cat misses my beagle (the cat was fascinated with all those beagles in the video), but I need to make sure I'm ready for the responsibility again.
Love love love your channel
As a beagle owner I struggle to find good training books or dog training videos because they're such a specific breed that they need their own type of positive training
You are so welcome! Thank you for subscribing.
Yes, you are very right. Positive training is best for us beagles. If you yell at us we shut down and don’t want to work. But we do make great companions if you know how to care for us!
@@kellythegroomer8672 We should learn how to train dogs using positive methods of training so we won't need to use force, aggression, or even domination.
For sure. Thanks for sharing.
Wow, listening to this I realize how great our little Beagle was. She came to us at about 6 months old. We never formally trained her. To potty train her I simply used consistency. I would get up at least three times during the night to take her out. Within a year she was trained and no accidents in the house. When she came to us we did already have an older dog (Schnauzer mix). That may have helped her transition. Eventually the older dog died when the Beagle was 5. But I never saw her have separation anxiety. Of course we paid a lot of attention to her -- we did to both dogs. They were very much a part of our life. By the time the Beagle was the only dog, I think she was feeling very secure in her environment and understood our schedule. It never seemed to bother her when we left and most times we found her to be sleeping when we got home. We never locked her in a kennel, she always had free run in the house and she never destroyed anything. In fact, I did not think Beagles capable of destroying anything. That information kind of took me by surprise. Our Beagle was actually pretty calm all the time. The only time she showed excitement was if she caught a sniff of something while on walks. Often we had to run along with her as she 'followed' the trail -- 'blowing the trumpet' as we called it. She lived to 14, and it was cancer that took her. We have an acre of fenced property. Her most favorite thing to do was 'sniff' out food. Whether we should have done it or not; we would literally throw and scatter very small treats throughout the yard, then take her out. Always sniffing the ground she would find the first one, and then it was on. She could spend hours searching that yard looking for those snacks. During the cold winter I would scatter a few snacks throughout the house while she was sleeping and she would spend hours looking for them. The most special thing with her was, when you got home, she could smell you while in a deep sleep and she would wake up. Then she would climb down from her bed and promptly walk over to you and demand a hug. She would lift up on her back legs and pull on you with her front paws. You had to kneel down and literally wrap your arms around her and hug her. Once she got her hug she was good to go. I never had a dog that demanded a literal hug. So special.
So beautiful!!! Our handsome lemon beagle, Bili passed away last month to stomach cancer. It hit us hard as it was very unexpected, he was gone super fast, he didn't have any symptoms and he was our first dogson, we don't have any other children/dogs. He was super loving and smart, he understood hand signs and voice commands and we were looking forward to his first spring in Canada but he sadly didn't make it. We miss him every single day.
I just got done reading your book( lol) and I can see how much you loved your beagle.the world needs more people like you....GOD BLESS Y😅😊
My first beagle, Hannah, lived almost 18 years old. I'm a beagle person and love this breed. I really don't have any complaints,I have another beagle, her name is Gabby.
19 years. That is great. Beagles are for sure the best.
My Daisy only lived to see 16. She had cancer sadly. If took me years to get another. For my 3 year old daughter. and they love each other right to death. My favorite breed for life
You nailed it. I will say once our beagle got comfortable knowing this was his home and we would always come back, he never tried to escape and separation anxiety went away. But the begging for food never went away and is the one thing that annoys us. The noise (the noise!) and the stubbornness are now just part of his charm.
The food bagging probably started long time ago as a simple sharing food from the table which has now become a habit. Try feeding your beagle in slow feeder food at the same time that you have dinner.
My beagle just died yesterday, i took care of him since day 1 and it breaks my heart, now i go home and no longer see my beagle waiting for me, no longer see him in his spot ni my bed room and most of all our routines, this completely changed my life. This sucks. Wish i could hug him again.
Sorry to hear that, We all know the pain , Memories will never fade.
so deeply sorry for you....I lost a beagle as well and I was devastated... a month later I felt I needed to rescue a beagle and I did... she is my world... RESCUE your next beagle...I felt it was my VALENTINO sending me the rescue pup.. now she is 16Y OLD and going strong... bless others and GOD WILL BLESS YOU... Check the beagle rescue project..
What was his age
Best way to honor a dog .....Get another DOG ! Sure helped me ! And my new buddy ACE !
My 9 year old beagle has some of these traits (especially the love of food), but there are some great things about them too! They love everyone and are not remotely aggressive. They love to play with other dogs and don’t get in fights. You’re so right about getting more than one though-they are dogs that really need company.
For sure. Thank you for your feedback. Let me know if you have any questions or video ideas.
I got a beagle before watching this! But now I’m ready to get more invested
How old is your beagle now?
@@SaroDogTraining 2 year old
1 yr old
We had a beagle/GS mix growing-up. He wasn't barkative, didn't have any heath issues until he reached old age despite everyone feeding him and being overweight. He lived to be 14 y/o, just the same.
This is for anyone who is thinking about being Beagl Owner: My companion is one year old now and I kind of discard most of the comments. For example: Beagles are foody but try him feeding the same food for a week .... he will end up sleeping empty stomach! About behaviour trainings ..... it depends so much on how social you made him during his 1st year. Since he have seen and sniffed so many people down the line ...he hardly cares who passes by ... by he makes sure who enters his house...which is something desirable. In the end I would say I am more than satisfied to have a beagle in my family who understands me the way no one can
My beagle is 10 years old and he has been a great dog. I didn't do anything out od the ordinary with his training. And I haven t had any problems at all. He does shed a lot. I would say to anyone getting one they are a typical dog. Be patient when they r pups and u will have a great buddy. They are food thief's lol.
I am a first time dog owner and i got a beagle. I prepared myself way in advance and with consistency and never giving in I have a well-behaved 5 month-old girl, who in the woods walks off leash and comes in if i ask her. We connect vers well. She is great with my children, never aggressive. Good luck for every one! Great video and love the way you handle your dogs!!
That is awesome. Thank you for your feedback. 5 month old is just too young to be off-leashed. She is doing well now but being free at young age may lead to some unwanted behaviours later. Just a suggestion. Don't be afraid to keep her on leash 80% of the times. I explain more here: ua-cam.com/video/Ol99CMxfWhI/v-deo.html
Wow. I have had three beagles and you are right on all this. I now have a better understanding and respect for some of the traits that were difficult. Independent is exactly who they are but understanding why is helpful. Yes...my neighbors did NOT like any of my beagles. Noisiest dogs ever but the more loving and snuggly dogs I have ever owned. And GOOD WITH CHILDREN. Oh my gosh, my granddaughters thought our dogs were there sisters. That alone made all the mayhem worth it.
Wonderful! Thank you for sharing your experience.
When my beagle was a puppy he was all over the house destroying things or guarding things he finds like used tissues and even marking
I followed your advice of keeping our beagle on leash even in the house until he listens to us and follows the commands
Now he's 1.5 years old and we are able to keep him off leash around the house for several hours
This is a huge progress for him
And you are correct toys and other motivations are a more effective way to train a beagle than treats cz that's when he truly connects and works with us🐶👍🏻
That is amazing. Thank you so much for your feedback. It's great to know this and learn from each other.
This is helpful, we have a 4 mo beagle, basset hound pugg mix! Hes most definitely hyper and I can't keep up with his energy. Been binge watching training videos🙌
ours did same..by 2 years she got over that and now sleeps 20hours a day
Just said goodbye to my 16 year old beagle/ Jack Russell who loved everyone from children , adults and every animal from cats, birds.. He was the most calm, loving soul dog I have ever own.. I am hoping to find another one soon
Rescue one! 🐾🙏✅
This was actually really helpful. We got our first beagle (and our first dog) and this helps me understand him so much better. I now know what to expect and how to work with him. We love our beagle even after he learned how to push out the kitchen chairs and jump up onto the table 😆🤪🥰🥰
Glad it was helpful!
Too smart for their own good too. My beagle watches me and learned to open a variety of doors and latches , they're sneaky learners. We don't let her see how we open tbe baby gate , she opens all types of kennels to get I N them to search for food. The ruff land kennel require thumbs so that a good beagle proof one. She opens Impact crates, wire crates, her furniture crate with a latch. We never intended on her to learn this but she run over sits and watches your hand movements.
Haha my beagles just a liiitttle dumb...ok extremely dumb
Mine cries if I am five minutes late with his glucosamine tablets 🤔🤔🤣
Since we didn’t have kids, we never had child locks. Until we got a beagle.
Happy to have found your channel. Just adopted a 10 week old beagle mix puppy. He’s been home (with me) almost 3 weeks now and so far, pretty good! He’s my 1st puppy ever & I live in an apartment building. Slightly scared but he’s really great!!
That is awesome! You will do great as long as you do your part. I went through the same thing. To help you out, I suggest you to watch the following videos for sure. ua-cam.com/video/8royd4vYGio/v-deo.html
I adopt senior beagles and at the moment have two. Wonderful companions! Funny, joyful, and loving. Both my beagles love meeting people and kids.
I will add to #1 Stubbornness: "Nose on, Ears off." Beagles indulge in selective deafness, esp. when on a scent. So a firm hand is often needed on walks. Also, I emphasize Saro's requirement of exercise. Two decent walks a day go a long way to settle the beagles for training and quiet living.
Just got my first beagle a few weeks ago.. he just turned 12 weeks old.. such a great boy
Congrats. Have fun with your beagle. Don't forget to watch my beagle puppy training playlist to learn more about your beagle. ua-cam.com/video/Cjmt5xu9qiI/v-deo.html
I had 1 beagle and 1 Dashund
I had named my beagle 'Snoopy'
The Dashund was 5 years elder to the beagle but they got along like brothers
Until my Dashund passed away just 1 month away from becoming 16years old
Then my sister got another Dashund and the beagle was father like to it
My beagle passed away last year due to getting tumor twice, he was 14 years
Still miss him 😭
My beagle passed away few years ago at 16 years of age. His name was Jonah.
Yoo my beagles name is snoopy too
Out of interest, how would you say dachshunds compare to beagles? How similar are they, which breed was more challenging?
@@FlavourlessLife Beagles are more challenging than daschunds. Although they are low on the ground and sniff all the time, beagles take the trophy for being more scent dogs than them.
Your reply is so informative. I have a dachshund & wondered if a beagle would be a good fit.
Currently in touch with rescue in my area...
Ya
So honest. ❤️. But they will steal your heart so quickly, you find yourself in love and are so willing to put up with them! 😂. And can’t imagine life without one!
Absolutely!!
Yes, all true. Sadly mine passed shy of 12 years. He was very healthy up to that point and then he developed back issues which no vet could tell my what the issue was did not set well with me. He was given steroids initially and it went away, it came back 6 months later, more steroids and seemed to be back to normal. However, the third time it didn't work. After a spinal tap he lost all function in his rear legs and was so desperately hurting. He was all of those things listed. I wish I had two but everything else you learn. Luckily he wasn't a barker/bayer when home alone but did have extreme separation anxiety. I had him at work while he was young and I couldn't even leave the room knowing my co worker had him. I worked on it with him and he did get better. Despite all of the things we beagle lovers deal with we enjoy how much joy they bring to our lives. They're always happy, wan't to engage you and want to be with you.....just make sure you stick to a schedule and tucker him/her out you'll less likely have a mischievous hound while you're out.
We love our Beagle never ever think twice about our choice. Loki is so smart so loyal and has never behaved any different then any other pup. It’s all about the consistency. He was never crated either that don’t work for us. He gets plenty of attention great diet lots of excercise and has his space in the home. Yep that’s right like all dogs need balance. Not lazy owners who feed there dogs ppl food and no attention. And the love he gives is unconditional.
Thank you so much for sharing this! Just out of curiosity. Why you didn't use crate?
Beagles ARE FOR EVERYONE
BEST DOG FOR FAMILIES.
KIDS ESPECIALLY.
You are 100% wrong on this...this video is very accurate BUT does NOT emphasize strongly enough how severe these issues are. YES they are GOOD with KIDS for sure and people.....but the rest makes it a vey hard dog to own AND you will probably lose him within a month and he WILL get killed in the street within seconds of escaping if you live in a City....they do not nor cannot see or hear Cars or vehicles when they are sniffing...thats how powerful their nose is....If you Want a Beagle....which of course you have that right....do so with the guidelines in this video AND you MUST have a Backyard and it should be impossible to escape....fence must be buried deep, and high and unclimable. It is a Very loving dog, but hard as hell to take care of...had over 30 animals...Beagle was the hardest.
I already had a Beagle before I was born !! Lady was a great girl !! She was 18 when she passed away .
My childhood beagle was named Lady as well! Was a great girl too. My own personal beagle boy passed away last year at 13. Crazy yours lived to be 18
Great video. I hope anyone considering a beagle watches this first. All the information stated is true from my personal experience. That being said, I LOVE my beagle and I feel I will always have one in my life now.

I have a beagle her name is Queenie, she is stubborn at times, when it's time to leave the local airport that has a lot of land for her to run and explore. I found that my beagle needed 2 or 3 hours of strong independent roaming everyday. This roaming let's her be the dog she is breed to be. We tried the doggy park , it did not work because all types of dogs come in from German Shepherds, Great Danes, pitbull etc. So I found this local airport that has bushes, wildlife, and well maintained. So I let her of leash and she roams for hours. I bring her home she plays around the house and she is good til the next day. Oh beagles love to chew on plastic so make sure you put away eyeglasses, bluetooth, chargers.
We had one beagle, that lasted a few months and we went and got another. I’ve had dogs before but I’ve never got my dog a dog until I had a beagle. One had a thin coat and the other had so much hair I couldn’t brush her enough. Her hair was so wiry it would stick in my foot like a needle. We used to say they were noses on feet and they would ask for kibble after they already ate. It helps with training. We trained our loud girl to use her “inside voice”. They knew a lot of commands and were super smart. We spent a lot of time training them, they are happier when they are trained.
I had a Beagle and all of these are true. She was very smart and yes very independent.
All true. Thanks Saro! 😊 I wish I knew this before I got a Beagle. I had many dogs in my lifetime, but this breed is the most hyper, and never wanted to be leashed, she would cry loud so she would get what she wants. They are smart too, so u are right, my beagle knows how to even escape and find her way out to get what she wants. They are stubborn and I have to discipline her all the time. Though she is calm and love it that she can be independent sleeping alone , separated from us. Of all the breeds i had, i like it least, and my favorite is dachshund because they are sweet and behave and easy to train.
Beagles are mayhem on legs and worth every second 🤣🤣
Unless they're your neighbors.
I wish more people would watch this - here in Portugal, lots of people are trying to rehome their Beagle via social media, coming up with all kinds of excuses (like, the landlord doesn't allow the dog any more - when the law clearly states that no landlord is allowed to forbid owning a dog or cat...). I strongly suspect it's because of the noise, and the Beagle destroying people's home when left alone all day, whilst people are working. Luckily, we live in a very remote area in a large house with land around. Our dogs are in the house most of the time, but even when outside, excessive barking is not allowed. But then again, this is Portugal, land of the barking dogs around the clock, and the local rabbit hunting dogs have the same bay and howl, so people will be used to the sound palette, lol!
My Beagle used to play with the trash bin when he was alone. Once I left the house and came back in 5 minutes because I had forgotten something, and he had already broken the trash bag and spread everything on the floor. It took him just 5 minutes to wreck all that havoc lol.
He's really missed.
He wasted no time at all😂😂 mine does the same
Never get just one beagle, always get two. Wow I typed this before watching your video, LOL. They are so high energy that you really need two of them because when you are tired of playing they will play with each other. Howling is not a problem as howling is what beagles do! We call beagle shedding "beagle glitter". BTW all pure bred beagles will have white on the tip of their tail, on all four feet and on their face. Watch as they trail something that tail with its white flag will be sticking straight up. That's bred into them so the hunter can see them working in tall grass or brush. They are also one of the oldest breeds going back thousands of years to ancient Egypt.
I had a beagle and 3 cats.
He loved being around the cats as much as he loved being with the human family. And we loved him.
I love my beagle, and he is high maintenance. He pulls alot on walks, and loves to bark at joggers or bikers, and other dogs. He is very stubborn and wont listen to me when I tell him to stop slamming our living room window when he sees other people passing by. I have alot more training to do. Also very true about the beagle not leaving its owners side. My beagle loves to sleep under my bed.
You've got lots of work and training ahead of you. Get started and let me know if you need any help.
I had a beagle for 8 years after our prior *springer died. Our beagle came to us as an overweight 6 year old from the Humane Society. He had been turned into the Humane Society because of his begging and someone in his former home developed allergies to him. First thing I did was put tubby beagle on a diet and got his weight under control. Since I never had the opportunity to train him I introduced training slowly and one thing at a time. After a couple years he became a fine companion and he has only escaped our 5 acre property one time and I saw him in a neighbors pasture. I grabbed his leash and went and retrieved him.
Today being a 14 year old elderly beagle he is great with his companion dogs in the house but he does set his own schedule and comes to me at the set time everyday for what he wants, needs and even comes to me at his bed time for a hug then walk to his bed and get his nightly brushing, Coopers speaks to me with barks and when it is treat time he is very vocal when I get his celery and peanut butter treat. Cooper our beagle can be demanding and when I grab the car keys of course that is his time alone with me.
His other companions is a jack Russell and a springer spaniel. The funny thing is when I put the food out he eats his food and by the time he is finished he has his head in the springers dish which is empty but since they get alone so well they never have a food fight it is just 2 heads in one bowl.
"short life, 16 years" That's very old but ok
Ikr, how long do other dogs live?!? I know small dogs, like my parents Chihuahua lived to like 18-19 but not much more than that is common from what I know
@@MsAqaqSwsw unless the breed is especially unhealthy, life is inverse of size. Chihuahuas are the longest lived breed, great Danes the shortest for the most part
Thanks for this! We have a beagle mix, and your video shines a light on our love..
Wonderful! Thank you for the feedback. feel free to ask any questions.
Very true , they are very lovable and they are like Vaccum machine. They just stick to a scent till they find out the source or we have to interrupt and cut them off.
Good video. Finally someone who speaks from experience instead of just regurgitating someone else's information. Thanks for the information. My Basenji had a lot of similar traits especially the stubbornness.
Thanks for watching!
Thanks, after watching this I understand my beagle better. ❤
Happy to help!
Does a German Shepard a good companion for a beagle?
We just adopted a beagle mix (don't have a clue what the other part is). We named him Brady. He is around 3yrs. and very beagle looking except long & skinny. We have a 13yr old dog, India, who is about 2xs his size. Brady is very sweet, but has learned some bad habits from whatever his life was before us. He was encouraged to jump on laps and into arms of standing people! (we do not want that!) When he wants something (like on my lap) he bays and the only way to stop it is to go do something else and this distracts him. I don't want to reward him, so I wait until he is distracted and then get on the floor and hug him a bit until he is relaxed. We are working 2xs a day on walking him on leash and it is a huge struggle. We are using a harness. We have a big problem of getting him to even acknowledge us when we're taking a walk. He doesn't even pay any attention to India. He won't look at us or India at all. I think that he was loose for awhile before animal control caught him and neutered him. He has good evidence that a large dog or coyote bit him or picked him up by the head! We have a 15yr. old cat, Phoebe, that he isn't aggressive to, but we have to stop him from chasing her/eating her food/getting in the cat box. We have a big table where we put her food/water/cat box and an area to lay down where she can also look out the window, but it is difficult for her to walk freely around the house unless Brady is sleeping. And he just figured out how to get up on the table, so now we're trying to figure out how our cat can be comfortable doing her normal stuff. I am using a leash indoors some of the time, so that Brady can't get out of my site when I'm on the computer etc. - also giving Phoebe some freedom. We've had Brady for 3 weeks, and he is time consuming. Also, he eats kleenex/paper towels/hair etc. and we've had 2 bouts of him throwing up a lot and constantly licking the floor. We give him Pepto Bismol, Metamucil, yogurt to get on the other side of that issue. Whew!
I have a beagle her name is rosie and she is postive because of you and she is 4 years old and she is trained thank you for being apart for my dog love you
That is great. Thank you for sharing.
My favorite thing about my 1 year old Beagle is when we go to bed he likes to crawl all over me and act silly. As long as I act like the pack leader and use a firm voice he listens to me and always wants to go where I'm going. Every time he howls it just makes me laugh. I love it. I wish I had more.
I am so lucky with my Beagle, he doesn't beg for food at the table or goes for the bin which is right by his bed . Once he has his breakfast & dinner he is not lnterested at all in food or treats, which I've tried so hard with him for training 🤣 but saying that ??? Chicken has helped alot with that job & Finley is such a lovely Beagle & well behaved rounded dog . Only problem i do experience now is that he thinks that he owns the hole neighbour hood & ever one that walks pass our windows he barks !! Part from that he is beautiful and first class Beagle 😍. So any tips for you would be fantastic. Love from ENGLAND in Sheffield South Yorkshire ❤ Thank you 😊 🙏
Thank you for subscribing (hopefully). Watch this video because there are lots of clues and solutions for you to address this behaviour. ua-cam.com/video/rq-Kg4Lmonc/v-deo.html
I have a 10yo beagle. We adopted him from a shelter and he previously changed 4/5 family because of his behaviour I suppose. He is aggressive sometimes and he can not stand some kind of dogs. He sometimes bits even if we just cuddle him, maybe he thinks we're trying to do something bad. We have him now for 5 years and he improved a lot but there are some behaviour i think he will neve lose. Anyway, i love him, he follows me wherever i go, sit beside me and always want me to rub his belly. Beagles are adorable!
My beloved Beagle died at 12 1/2 . He suffered from epilepsy, cataract on both eyes an heart problems at the end. He was the most easy going and adorable creature - so sad that he`s gone😪
So sorry to hear that. It is hard but his memory lives on.
Thank you for putting this up.
My pleasure! Hope you benefited and subscribed to the channel.

My beloved beagle/lab mix crossed over the rainbow bridge this past Christmas Eve at age 11 (she got severely sick very quickly). But I am thinking of getting a lemon beagle once I am emotionally ready. Best thing I did was crate train her. Didn’t have to worry about any trouble while i am gone. She found out that she got even more treats if she went in on her own so she would go in any time she thought I could be leaving 😂 the noise thing was never a problem. She was loud outside and when she didn’t get her way but she didn’t react to noises outside or anything. She was the best dog ever and would recommend a beagle to anybody who has time and energy to invest in a dog
My beagle is almost 14 yrs old and I can vouch for this.😂 LOVE this breed and will get more
When my beagle was a puppy he was very destructive. Since then he has been sweet, lovable, and a great companion. I love his bark. It is true that they are stubborn and will pull on my leash. but he is a great pet.
We had a bulldog prior and now have a rehomed beagle. Honestly, the worst thing is they seem to beg much more persistently. Everything else has been pretty standard dog behaviors and helping her to settle in.
Also, 18 years for a medium size dog is great. That's the life span of a small dog. That's awesome. Our last dog went 13 years somehow in a breed that usual only goes 6-10 years. If you care for them, keep them exercised, and keep up with yearly wellness visits, life span estimates, even for purebreds, can be over shot. (And if you can't afford yearly vet, honestly, you really aren't ready for any pet.)
I think, the yearly vet checks are great to have but also a fresh diet and avoiding yearly vaccinations plus some good daily exercise are the key to longevity.
I have a puggle (half pug, half beagle). Best dog ever! The pug part makes him more chill than a purebred beagle.
Got to admit, I got a beagle (at 3 months old) without doing the research beforehand. Boy was I under prepared! Haha. She is now 14 months old, and after a lot of hard work (mistakes and successes) she behaves like a reasonably trained canine.. even able to take her for walks off the lead now!
That is awesome! You may be in the honeymoon period. Just a warning but keep me updated.
My first dog was a catahoula.. I know most of these traits already. Thank you for the video, I think it’s helped me decide to get a beagle
That is great. Let me know if you have nay questions or ideas for the next video.
Wish I knew all this before I adopted. This is all spot on
My beagle was diagnosed with heart murmur at 6yrs, He is now 10 and in congestive heart failure! Mine was the runt and was always sick(gastro-entritis, infections, hot spots..) He is my 4th beagle and i adore the breed. We hunt so hounds are the best for our lifestyle! We also have working dogs(malamute), we are from Canada so winter working dogs are a must. We also have 23 acres of land and we do our own lumber for winter. I really believe that every owner should choose their dog depending on their lifestyle not by their cuteness! I also use a whistle for my beagle, even when he is far, he will come when he hears it! We dont use it anymore bc his heart and medications wont let him exercice anymore but it worked for all of my previous beagles too. Treats always helps😁
Thank you for sharing. I am glad that your beagle was used for what it was bred for.
@@SaroDogTraining We got a lot of bunnies and birds, he also caught ducks and would chase off deers, mooses and bears! With his pack of course, we had 4 beagles and 1 malamute😁 and they all slept indoors with our cat lolll
I have a 1 year old beagle. This list is so accurate lol
Thank you for your feedback.
So true
Is yours in an apartment? I’m getting my beagle puppy soon and I’m making note of all of these tips
@@Onechance_ngl did you get your beagle yet? If so, how is it going? I am in a similar situation
I love my stubborn beagle. Raffy is very smart and loves food and walks ❤❤
My beagle has thyroid’ problems. His hair is growing back with medication
i am sorry to hear that your beagle has thyroid issue. Diet and food should be your number one approach to healing your beagle. Remove medication as soon as you can and focus on improving your beagle's life.
🌹🌹🌹
I have 2 Beagles..
They are the best.. very intelligents..
Thanks 🙏
You are very welcome.
I have had beagles all my life. They are definitely some of the smartest dogs ever. Mine (Duke his name) gets out his crate. All the time. And yes opens doors. And he's only 5 months old. They are to smart for their own good.
Buy a better crate. LOL.
Hi, thanks so much for this excellent video. I think a life expectancy of 16 - 18 (?) years is more what a Jack Russell or Chihuahua would have though; but even 12 - 15 years is amazing. We lost our German Shepherd with only 7 years due to DM (a degenerative disorder), and decided to get a Beagle also because their life expectancy is an estimated double (many German Shepherds die too young unfortunately due to health problems). BUT NOW we have fallen VICTIM to what you call "problem number 10"! We've been enjoying the past 8 months with our Beagle so much that, just yesterday, the decision was made in the household to ADD a second Beagle in spring/summer of next year. Once our boy is a responsible adult, lol, let's hope he'll ever get there. Frankly I would be afraid to adopt a Beagle with uncertain background and genetics, just due to the health issues they might have. Some Beagle owners we know did this and had their puppy come to the home with life-threatening conditions, and I'm not selfless enough to be ok with experiencing this: Spending a year witnessing our rescue German Shepherd's health decline has left a mark for us. So, the next Beagle will be (once again) a puppy from a professional Beagle breeder who performs health testing and genetic screening on his Beagles.
Beagles are very emotional and love attention. They want to be active, walks through the woods are a treat for them! They are also very vocal 🤣🤣🐶
🌹🌹🌹
All dogs are ADORABLES, LOVELY...
I have :
2 Beagles,
1 Labrador,
1 mixed.
Thank you 🙏
A home pack full of love. Welcome and enjoy the channel.
"those eyes that demand more food"=100% true!!! I will say I've been very lucky with my beagles. I've had 5 total, the most at once 3 plus 1 foster=4. They have been quiet and done super well on leashes, even walking 4 at once. The separation anxiety has been hit or miss (I'm sure many of you have half eaten miniblinds too). They definitely shed, but at least it doesn't float like husky hair. They definitely are escape artists (just ask Ruthie who ate her way through grandma and grandpa's laundry room door).
I've had three neighbor beagles and all three were the loudest things you've ever heard! lol
Energy, energy, energy! You have to get them exercise outside, even if 10 degrees out but with a sweater. They will take you for a walk as their nose is their tracker and they resemble a vacuum cleaner. Harness with leash is a must as they are totally focused on exploring. Too expensive of a pet to just let roam. You should get them outside at a minimum 2 times a day to do their "job" . Out of a 12 hour day, you should expect to monitor them every 15 minutes as they are always up to something unless you have a totally confined area to let them roam inside the house. If they roam your main house, you have got to pick up everything or else they will have it in their mouth---curlers, toilet paper, cardboard, plastic bags, remote control... "bought toys" are good for about two hours until the stuffing is torn out or the hard rubber ones start to get chunks chewed off of them.. Sometimes a snack is the only way to release the foreign object out of their mouths. Table food and scraps will be the norm once you start with it, but it is hard not to give them something you are eating as your guilt sets in. No onions or chocolate! In summary, wear them out so they will take a 1/2 nap in order for you to get something done, for when they awake, the game is on again. If you wear them out, they will usually sleep the whole night. Hopefully you will have a minimum of 2 people to change off with the beagle's demands...with only one person it is way too demanding....Very lovable dog if you have the routine down and can dedicate your time to them. They love kissing you so sometimes you forget everything else--for that minute! However, you will have so much love for them that you will do anything for them--just try to avoid being "superhuman" and get help from others at times. You should be on the younger side, not a dog for the senior citizen unless the beagle is a senior also. Most photogenic dog ever!
One more thing to add---never try to take food out of their mouth as they will severely bite you. They have two possession modes--they will come to you with a toy and that means they want to play...but POSSESION OF THEIR FOOD IS TOTALLY DIFFERENT as they don't care who their caretaker is at that point and time...
It's been a week and we are exhausted (the only time we have with my hus is when the puppy is asleep) i wish i watched this video first.. they are like a new born baby.
We have a 2 month old, I can already see traits from this video 😂what is the right time to start training them?
Great. Here is the answer in video form: ua-cam.com/video/ERvfydL3ISA/v-deo.htmlsi=vSIOKESjFtMYLf7d
Never had any dogs like a Beagle. I had many pure breed dogs in the past before they went to heaven. My Beagle is so smart, the smartest one compared all my past dogs if i could say. She does her potty so well since she was 7 weeks old. She follows all of my commands for "come", "sit", "stay", "wait", "lay down", "paw", "snout", even she will open her mouth and dropping whatever in her mouth to my hand if i said "stop" since she was 3 months old. She barely barks, she only bay which is so cute. She loves to snuggling with her cutest way in my lap. The struggling thing only she's too friendly to all people and being docile with another dogs by wagging her tails like a fan and lay down exposing her belly everytime we encountered other dogs when i walked her. But hey, who needs a guardian? We human also must be a guardian for our beloved dog - because none dogs could overpowered humans, whatever the breed is.
Are beagles good with cats if raised from a pup? What about if I adopt an adult? We have a 2 yo English Setter to keep her busy (and daycare and hikes).
Beagles are naturally and normally friendly with most pets and animals. But you never know.
My beagle has an ATTITUDE!
All beagles have it.
Mine too has attitude
“My Ferrari doesn’t drive well at the grocery store parking lot”.
A beagle is a pack hunter. Full stop.
@@SaroDogTraining nope
Mine does too. He will give me ‘dirty looks’ when he’s upset or even when he doesn’t get what he wants. I just tell him “don’t look at me like that. Loose the attitude mister.” He will often give me a deep frustrated sigh afterwards lol
My beagle Denver is 2 and I'm lucky enough to be able to take him to work with me. He's never been alone before if I go to the movies my mom takes him xo
That is perfect.
I am with #3 now. I saved Gracie when she was 3.years old and she saved me too! I needed her so bad after FES died💔
@Saro Dog Training, my furniture is gone with his extra shedding. But i still love him 💗 he is someone close to my heart and I don't care but I love him
I would say my hardest problem with beagles is they r so curious they tend to search for ways out of the yard and r stubborn to come when called. And he is stubborn with the kennel. He used to sleep in our bed all the time but since we got a second dog he sleeps in his cage together and he hates it and would throw a loud tantrum.
My family took care of a beagle on a off towards the last like 4 years of his life and he was nothing but loving. I didn’t really notice any of these problems but he did die of cancer not old age even though he was old. I’m definitely planning on getting a beagle when I move out as I have been training our family havanese for the past 1.5 that we’ve had her so I’m practicing on her.
Thank you for sharing your story.
i just had a beagle 5 days ago! thanks for this video!
That is awesome!
Everything you say negative about beagles I find enduring. They are great dogs. I wouldn't trade a beagle for any other breed.
Are they safe for having around house cats?
For sure.
My beagle katey is now 13 ,I agree with the majority of what you are saying but she always gets her own way,she doesn’t live with me I live with her,and I don’t mind at all as long as she is happy she can be the boss,lol,she has been my best friend and constant companion for 13 years and she is very much loved and adored,yes she is a money Pitt what with vet expenses especially as she is getting older,but then again you can’t put a price on unconditional love ,great videos my friend
Thank you for your feedback.
I got a smart beagle/dachshund mix. He was at a puppy rescue outreach at Petco sponsored, our local shelter had so many puppies so I just went to look. We got there at 2 and my daughter picked him up. She was 15. I told her it has to be a small breed. They told me he was chiweenie but he was Doxle. He is my BFF and he stares at me all day. I stay at home a lot or he goes with me.
Omg just found your channel we have a 4 year old beagle this video is so helpful and true based on my experience with my beagle thanks and new subscriber here lots of love from the Philippines 🇵🇭😊🐕💕
Welcome!! Glad it was helpful.
I just got a 5 month old beagle and I really don't know what to do because his last owner didn't train him, and watching your vids makes me want to train him moree but my problem is he's already 5 months old and he's already doing so many bad habits.. Please help me to train him so he could get along with my other dogs.. Thank youu, you're an amazing beagle owner!
Strat by watching each of the following videos: ua-cam.com/video/m_F9mgUYAYw/v-deo.html
My beagle is very good in my apartment. He cries at first when I leave but then he's good. He has bad allergies sometimes! I love him so much! He sleeps with me and takes over my bed! Lol, I was thinking about changing his diet! He is extremely stubborn!
That's great! Defiantly, I would suggest changing the diet to help your beagle relief from allergies. This video may help you. ua-cam.com/video/Zzqulgq6k3M/v-deo.html
How long did it take you to train your beagle to be independent in your apt? I’m getting one - I live in an apt, and my anxiety is through the roof wondering about his baying/howling.
I love beagles, the one I have now is a beagle coonhound mix. He’s a funny little boy
Thank you for this important information!! 😊
You are so welcome!
hi my beagle is 12 she has always slept in a crate in the kitchen with no problems all her life , the last month she will not go in it at night and howls until she is with us up stairs on a bed on the floor . does separation anxiety get worse when they are older in your experience
Yes, just like humans, as dogs get older they start behaving like babies or puppies because they are senses are more sensitive so they became more needy.
@@SaroDogTraining thanks for the reply its not a problem i was just worried it was something more serious.
Saro: So, VERY Accurate! Funny how beagle-lovers are always working on issues that "WE" found to be really CUTE when they were puppies! LOL. My beagle LOVES to unroll the toilet paper off the holder. Cute when he was a puppy... not so cute during the pandemic TP shortage! Still: The Best of Breeds! :).
So true!
I don't know if I'm dealing with a dominant beagle personality in my mutt but I'm pretty sure and even a portion of a beagle is CRAZY
