Beagle Breeder

With the popularity of Beagles growing so fast, so does the number of breeders, and when choosing a Beagle puppy, we must be no less concerned about choosing a conscientious Beagle breeder. Unfortunately, there are many backyard breeders, who breed large amounts of puppies for profit. If you buy a dog from such a breeder, you are at risk of a huge disappointment. Backyard breeders do not provide healthy conditions for their dogs, to say nothing of monitoring their health on a professional basis. These puppies are often affected by serious genetic abnormalities, behavioral problems and poor general health.

Only a qualified and experienced Beagle breeder can guarantee that your Beagle will live up to the breed standard and be fully entitled to participation in show ring activities. Purebred dogs have a stable temperament, and they can get along with all members of a family. Beagles are very lively and vivacious companions. They do not show unprovoked aggression against strangers or other animals, and they usually enjoy interaction with other dogs. Initially bred as “pack” animals, they show great cooperative ability during pack hunting. Beagles are very adept at hunting hare, rabbit, fox, and other ground animals. They have a specific voice, which they use for signaling hunters that the game is cornered successfully.

Beagles are great family companions, and they show particular liking for children. They can be very active indoors, and they do appreciate a sizeable yard, where they can play all sorts of games. They love running and intelligence games, such as hide-and-seek or any activity involving their exceptional scenting gift. Beagle breeders pay particular attention to their keen sense of smell, and they warn their clients about difficulties this may pose during training sessions. Beagles should not be walked without a lead, because their nose can drive them away forever in less than no time.

Beagles rarely suffer from genetic diseases. Any responsible breeder guarantees replacement of a puppy should it show unexpected health problems making him irrelevant as a show dog. The life expectancy of a purebred Beagle is about 13-15 years. These dogs remain active throughout lifetime. These dogs hate loneliness, and lack of activity may lead to a bad case of separation anxiety. A good Beagle breeder may advice you to have two dogs if you cannot spend a long time at home for occupational reasons.
