Best Fur Friend

Best Fur Friend

If you’re searching for a new best fur friend, look no further! I’m known for being happy, affectionate, and bubbly. It’ll be love at first sight of my big brown eyes. From house guests to kids, I love having company around. Three woofs for more friends to play with! Since I was bred to hunt in packs, I wag my tail most when I have a companion. If you’re out and about a lot, I might not be the best pup for you – unless you give me another four-legged friend to keep me busy! Although I’m pretty small, I need at least an hour of exercise every day, and crave outdoor adventures. Be careful, though! Like the human Houdini, I'm an excellent escape artist. I’ve been known to weasel my way under fences and over walls, following my sharp sense of smell wherever it takes me. But with a little training and exercise, I’ll be sure to behave. In no time, I’ll be a big part of your pack, and if you’re lucky, you might even get to hear my beautiful, melodic howls of happiness!

Furbulous Fact

Furbulous Fact

One of the most famous cartoon dogs ever is a Beagle – Snoopy! He might not look like one of us at first glance, but he fits in with us pawfectly. He’s playful, affectionate, smart, and loyal. We’re very musical dogs and we love using our voices to express our feelings, and Snoopy is no different. He can play the piano! Sure, sometimes he’s lazy, which can be said for our whole dog breed, but when we get bursts of energy – we’re up for any adventure!

History of My Breed

History of My Breed

Our history is long and it’s surrounded by mystery. Historians can’t even agree on how we got our name! Some historians believe our name is derived from the Gaelic word “beag” which means “little.” Others think it comes from the French word for the sound that hounds make while they hunt: “be’geule.” Greek documents from as early as 400 B.C. describe dogs similar to Beagles and small packs of these scenthounds are reported to have hunted rabbits and hares in England before the Romans arrived in 55 B.C. We became popular in England really early, like during the 1300s. Teeny-tiny dogs called Glove Beagles were extremely popular because they were small enough to fit in one hand! Early reports also mention Singing Beagles, named after our beautiful, melodic howls, called “baying.” Elizabeth I famously kept packs of Pocket Beagles, which were only nine inches tall! Some of them are even in her portraits. By the 1500s, the majority of English gentlemen either owned packs of large foxhounds th
Care Tips

Care Tips

from Dr. Jessica Greenberg, Associate Veterinarian
1

Get your pup periodic blood tests – especially before surgery.

Some Beagle puppies are born with blood clotting deficiencies; factor VII deficiency and hemophilia A specifically. It’s particularly important to get blood tests prior to any kind of surgical procedure (including neutering and spaying) to prevent complications. If you catch any symptoms, like a cut that won’t stop bleeding, blood in the bowels, or a teething puppy with excessive gum bleeding, it’s time to call your vet. Blood tests can also detect hyperthyroidism, another common Beagle health problem. - Dr. Marc Elie, Veterinarian

2

Don’t skip your Beagle’s annual wellness visit.

As Beagles age, they may become more prone to cardiovascular issues like mitral valve disease, a degeneration of the valve that causes murmurs. Annual visits can catch this issue, and periodic chest X-rays can help track heart size and catch potential complications before they arise. - Dr. Marc Elie, Veterinarian

3

Keep an eye on your Beagle’s allergies.

Beagles are prone to having regular, year round allergies and to having an allergy condition called atopy. If your Beagle is constantly rubbing their eyes, scratching their ears, or licking their paws, it might be time for a vet checkup. Work with your veterinarian to decide on the best medications or ointments to help alleviate any irritations. - Dr. Jessica Greenberg, Associate Veterinarian

Training Tips

Training Tips

from Dr. Jessica Greenberg, Associate Veterinarian
1

Exercise your Beagle’s mind, body, and nose!

Beagles love to sniff and search for things, so make sure they get enough exercise (but not too much) and enough food by combining play time, sniff time, and feeding time all in one. For example, stuff Kong toys with tasty treats and hide them in the backyard for a round of engaging play. You can play this game in the house, too, especially in colder months!

2

Be careful not to bark WITH your Beagle.

Beagles are communicative pups who love to sing – but this isn’t ideal if you’re living in close quarters with others. If you’re trying to coach your Beagle not to bay, make sure you don’t yell or raise your voice at the dog when they’re making noise. If you do, you’re just reinforcing the bay behavior by baying with them. Instead, wait for them to finish, and reward them with treats and affection once they’ve quieted down.

3

Keep your Beagle busy during the day.

Beagles can get bored easily if they’re not engaged in fun, wholesome activity throughout the day. It’s a good idea to use some of their kibble as a training tool – instead of putting all their food in a bowl at set meal times. Portion out some of their food for the day at breakfast time and feed them breakfast kibble for morning training rewards and play throughout the day. It’ll keep your pup busier and calmer for longer.
