Breed Spotlight.. Beagle
Who could resist those floppy ears?
Temperament – The beagle is gentle, loving, curious and very good with children. They get along well with other dogs, but will typically give cats a hard time. They are well tempered and loyal. Often bred as hunting dogs, beagles make excellent pets as well.
Grooming Requirements – Since the beagle has a short coat, not much grooming is required. A bath as needed will do. Beagles are average shedders.
Activity Level – This dog is active. They need either a fenced-in yard, or several acres to run around. Beagles have a strong urge to chase things, especially small animals such as cat and squirrels. Shelters usually have a number of beagles who were not able to make the way back home after a chase.
Size – The average beagle weighs between 20 and 25 pounds, a medium sized dog.
