When most people think “Beagle”
they don’t often think of “cunning, smart as a fox and twice as naughty” but
those big brown eyes and that innocent look are deceptive. Sure, beagles are
laid-back, affectionate and can even be a little aloof but dumb? No way.
Still, most beagle owners agree that the nose is the most intelligent part of
their canine pal’s anatomy. Thought it’s not typical for a
beagle to refrain from gulping down a contraband treat before his owner even
knows that he has it, this whacky behavior is indicative of what makes the
breed so charming—its unpredictability and determination. A beagle’s energy level generally
changes as the dog ages. Beagle puppies are full of vigor and always ready
for an exhausting romp. Teenaged and adult beagles have a lot of
stamina; after all, they’re bred for hunting and chasing game. Older beagles
can fatigue easily, but that’s true of nearly every breed. The nose itself isn’t stubborn but
it’s behind some of the beagle’s seemingly stubborn behavior. Once a beagle
picks up a scent, you’ll be hard pressed to regain his interest in anything
else. Be careful any time your beagle is roaming free. Not only do beagles
enjoy taking off after wild game, there're bred to be followed by their human
companions. In other words, running after the dog only fuels the case. Unlike some breeds, such
as Labrador retrievers, the beagle wasn’t bred to attend to his
human pack. Instead he was bread to track game and follow his nose. So, you
will have to go the extra mile to keep your dog concentrating on training
lessons. Smelly treats to train your beagle with (I recommend freeze dried
liver) help him to keep his focus on you. The beagles temperament is
legendary, and its reputation is made more of fact than fiction. This dog
really is a great family member and a gentle, loving companion. Sure, the
breed’s obedience skills might leave something to be desired, but many people
have managed to put obedience and agility titles on their beagles. All this
breed needs is a patient owner and a handful of liver snacks! |
