A beagle is a small to medium sized dog belonging to the hound family. They are also known as the English Beagle. Their closest relative is the foxhound.

no

hell yes

The beagle is and old breed of dog. They were, and still are today, used as hunting dogs. The beagle has been around for a while but there are new " variations" of beagles according to the akc.

Beagles are not defense dogs. They are much too gentle for any sort of defensive training. What they are good at is barking when someone approaches.

I have a beagle. I've had beagles my whole life. They are incredibly great with children, guests, and new family members. They howl a lot. They can be very hard to walk though, because they are hunting dogs. They follow their noses, and can tend to pull on the leash. They can get overweight easily if they don't have enough time outside. They need to be walked AT LEAST once every other day. They are very cuddly if they are used as pets. My beagle gets worried to be alone, and needs to sleep with me. Overall, beagles are awesome, loving, kind, sweet, dogs. TRUST ME, THEY HOWL A LOT! Each dog has its purpose which it is bread for

if you want a dog which sleeps a lot but may howl and let you know

something is not normal you may enjoy a beagle

they tend to like children

they were bread for hunting. They can learn to be very sweet. They can also be trained to obey, but its can be difficult. They do what they want, when they want.

This is the same question i was going to ask... Let me tell you what i think... They are fast... all dogs are... and they are pretty big so they could probably break a fence... and they could door dash because they are excited. I would't get an electric fence though either because yea they are gonna feel the shock but they could just run right through it if they are really intrested in what they see or hear... and if you have a road by your house... we would't want that to happen... one time my dog Ben door dashed and almost got ran over by a UPS truck and he is in the same family as the Border Collie. so maybe you should ask your vet about one of those chip things. hope this helped!... And don't forget I could be wrong!

a rottweiler and beagle mix weighs between 60-90 pounds during the first 2 years depending on what the dog is more of.

The pups can be detected by the vet fairly early on, but this is quite expensive and not all practices have the equiptment. Otherwise look out for the symptoms that she is pregnant, her belly will get larger like a human and you may feel the pups move, definatly the week before the birth. I would advise buying a book with information about breeding and the birth etc.. but if i can help at all then please feel free to comment. Good luck with your pups.

Beagles Make many different sounds. They have the traditional howl in which they tilt true head back, look up to the sky and round their mouth. They also make another sound referred to as baying. My beagle makes a baying noise when she is anxious or excited and it sounds like a short combination of a howl and a bark. She also tries to imitate other dogs barking by making a bark that is extended and eventually turns into a howl. When she is excited, she also makes very abrupt, quiet and breathy barks.

Beagles run 20-30 miles per hour.

A Beagle can live in a small home as long as it is exercised daily for a minimum of an hour. (Note: this may vary between individual dogs) Bear in mind that Beagles are also quite vocal, so if you happen to live in an apartment, your dog may disturb your neighbours.

maybe he wants food/water, maybe he wants you to open a door for him, maybe he doesn't want you to leave, maybe he wants to have sex with you, it could be anything. Pretend he's a human that can't talk, just watch him and figure it out, pet him for a while or follow him, he must be whining about something.

Beagles are highly trainable, but are also easily distracted. If you are considering a beagle as a pet know that they will follow their nose. If they pick up a scent the tend to follow it and ignore anything else. They can also be stubborn, but respond well to food-based, positive reward training. As with all dogs, they just need patience. You would do best to keep training sessions short and lively as they do tend to lose interest quickly.

It is an old breed of dog and shows up in print in 1475 and was bred for rabbit hunting. King Edward was known to have used the dog for hunting rabbits. When used for hunting it is done on foot instead of horseback. It wasn't until the 1800's that the Beagle became popular in the US.

Butch, a beagle from the Charlottesville, VA area, is 27 years old! He is still alive.

Our boy will be 16 in May. Day to day, and several health problems, but loving every day we have!!

like most short haired dogs they shed but if you comb them every couple days it should stay to a minimum

3 times a week is sufficient...more than that can cause skin problems like roughness and dryness

Dogs will adapt to cold weather by growing thicker fur. This thicker fur will keep the dogs warm when it is cold.

Charlie Brown and his friends commonly refer to Snoopy as a Beagle.

Some may say this is in some dispute, because in one cartoon, Charlie Brown comments about Snoopy as he lazes on the grass, "Beagles on the grass, alas." Snoopy says to himself, "I ain't no stupid beagle!" However, in later cartoons, Snoopy does refer to himself indirectly as a beagle.

This could be a long list... Some of the uses are; hunting, transportation, guiding, guarding, companionship, and drug and bomb detection.

They also do service work for the disabled (ie service dogs), visit hospitals to cheer patients (therapy dogs), water rescue, tracking, protection, acting, modeling, search and rescue (like 9/11), and carrying things.

Some dogs are trained to detect natural gas leaks, rot in utility poles, cadavers, or cancer
