Medium breed

Beagle Puppies

The Beagle is a small dog breed whose energy lever supersedes its miniature stature. They are known for their happy barks, loving selves and how much they connect with children. Discover more about our Beagle puppies for sale below!

However, as much as they’re as cute as a teacup, the Beagle is a type of hound and tends to portray its independent streak every now and then. 

They are scent hounds that look a lot like foxhounds and can wander during the course of trailing scents. Because of their noses and brains acting in unison, Beagles were and are still used to retrieve small animals like rabbits during a hunt.

In terms of energy and exercise, Beagles have a level that encourages both playtime and relaxation. They enjoy daily walks or play sessions, but their moderate energy means they can also be content lounging on the couch after some outdoor fun. While they may bark from time to time, they are not overly vocal, striking a nice balance between alertness and tranquility. This makes them suitable for various living environments, including apartments, where they can thrive with the right amount of activity.

Grooming your Beagle is relatively simple, as their short coat requires only weekly brushing to keep it looking its best. While they do shed moderately, maintaining a regular grooming routine will help manage any loose hair around your home. Their trainability is noteworthy too; with a little patience and consistency, Beagles can pick up commands and tricks quite well. Their intelligence, combined with their keen sense of smell, often leads them to explore their surroundings, so early training can help guide their natural curiosity.

If you’re considering welcoming a Beagle into your life, you’ll find them to be a loving, loyal addition to your family. Their friendly dispositions, coupled with their playful, inquisitive nature, make them a perfect fit for many homes. Whether you are a seasoned dog owner or looking for your first pet, Beagles are sure to bring warmth and joy into your everyday life. Visit Petland San Antonio, TX, to meet these loving companions and see if a Beagle is the right match for you.

Living with a Beagle

History

Beagles have been in existence since medieval times. The name ‘beagle’ is thought to be a derivative of the old English word for small, ‘beag’. Despite this uncertainty in the origin of its name, it’s still unclear how this breed came to be. 

However, it is true that William The Conqueror in the 11th century brought a breed that came to have an ancestral link with the Beagle to Britain. This dog breed was the Talbot hound. It was only a matter of time for this breed to be crossed with Greyhounds which after many generations later, indirectly created the Beagle. Beagles were gaining more appreciation in England as Edward the second, Henry the seventh and Queen Elizabeth the 1st had beagles in their keep. 

In the 1800s breeders from America started importing Beagles into their litter, and the cheery breed was recognized AKC recognized in 1884, right after it was established. 

Temperament

Beagles are very energetic, sweet, loving and funny breeds. Beagle owners usually spend the day laughing, well that’s when they’re not trying to get them to behave. Beagles generally have an even temper and a calm disposition. 

They’re very amiable and are mostly seen in their merry states. Being a hound breed, they are used to their pack which in this case could be the owner, hence they are predisposed to separation anxiety. Some dog owners say beagles bark or howl a lot. This may be true when they’re faced with new situations. 

 

Environment

Beagles are pretty great in apartment buildings. They tolerate hot temperatures more than the cold ones. However, as much as they can thrive and adapt to various environments, the Beagle is a hound and hence it loves the serenity of open spaces. 

This breed needs an environment where it can wander freely. Hence, if your home has a yard, ensure it is properly fenced to ensure the safety of your beagle. This breed is very accommodating too and it doesn’t have any major requirement with respect to how and where it lives. 

Exercise

As you already know, the beagle is a very energetic dog. Their exercise needs are very high and its intensity equally peaks the chart. They are very playful which is what makes it a great family dog especially when one has kids. Training them can be difficult, especially when they’re trying to run off and follow random scents every now and then, however it is attainable. 

This dog breed is so active that in the absence of exercise routines or engagement activities to keep them busy, they will create their own amusement by rummaging through your house, digging holes in your yard or trying to escape your abode. 

Taking them for walks to the park, engaging them in dog sports and finding time to play with them will numb their destructive side and keep them happy all through the day.

Grooming

Beagles are known to have particularly smooth double coats. These coats are so dense that they are water-resistant. Their grooming is simple. Their fur should be brushed once a week while baths should be scheduled monthly. 

They mostly shed during Spring as they lose the thick coats but it could often go unnoticed because of their short hair. Their ears should be cleaned and checked for growths or possible symptoms of infections while their teeth can be brushed thrice weekly. Nails could be trimmed twice a month but should be done with care to prevent bleeding.

My dad got my Malti-poo from this store 6yrs ago when I was a teen. We bought him at 3mo old! He was a happy puppy. My family requested to play with him in the little cubicles and we were delighted. He was a little pricey, but he had his papers, proper shots/vaccines, and had an underbite that made him adorable. He’s doing well even today! Never gotten injured or sick. He’s expected to live the normal expectancy of a malti-poo. I don’t remember much about the store or any changes since then, but I remember that the lady helping us was nice! Here is Marshmallow!

This was my 2nd time back. My daughter has been wanting another set of guinea pigs. I saw the most beautiful lionhead rabbit 🐇 about 7 weeks. LORENZO educated me on their demeanor, foods etc... I was there a good while, he showed no signs of rushing me, or pushing a sale. Answered all my questions and even educated me on ferrets as i asked lol he loves his job & wish all associates were like this everywhere! I was very pleased 😀 didn't grab the rabbit as my daughter took forever to answer me, but we're leaving for vacation and would not be cool to leave him alone . We will be back! And I will only ask for him! Thank you for the great customer service!
