Beagle
About Beagle
Beagles are an excellent choice for active families who cherish outdoor adventures and a loyal, furry friend. With their soulful brown eyes and signature tri-colored coats, these dogs are as adorable as they are distinctive. Beagles are friendly and gentle, making them ideal for households with children and other pets, where they thrive on being part of family outings and playtime.
These energetic pups need about 60-90 minutes of exercise daily, relishing in walks, interactive play, or engaging scent games to satisfy their curious minds. They shed moderately, so brushing them a few times a week with a rubber curry brush will keep their coats looking their best. Though intelligent, Beagles can be a bit headstrong, so patient, positive reinforcement works wonders in training.
Keep an eye on their ears and maintain a healthy weight to ensure their well-being. Typically weighing 20-30 pounds and living 12-15 years, Beagles are lively companions eager to fill your home with joy and adventure!
