Beagle

Dog breed profile

The Beagle is a small-sized hound breed originally developed in England for hunting small game. Known for its keen sense of smell and strong tracking instincts, it has become a popular companion dog worldwide. Beagles are friendly, curious, and affectionate, making them excellent family pets. They have a moderate trainability level and benefit from positive, consistent training methods.

Their short, dense coat requires minimal grooming, though regular ear care is important due to their floppy ears. Beagles need daily exercise to expend their energy and prevent boredom-related behaviors. They thrive in homes where they can be part of family activities and have space to explore safely.

Ideal owners include families and first-time dog owners who can provide time for exercise and socialization. While they adapt well to various climates, they do best in moderate environments. Regular veterinary care and attention to diet help maintain their health and longevity.
