My fiance and I are considering getting a beagle puppy in a couple of months. My family had one when I was a kid, but I don't really remember much about his temperament or anything. We've done some research on-line, but I'd appreciate any input.
Homeboy , we have an 11 month old beagle pup - he has to be the funniest dog we have ever had, but also the most work - from day one we learned that everything on the floor/within his reach will get CHEWED UP if he gets a hold of it ... :roll eyes: and yes, he has a voracious appetite, he begs for handouts at every meal ... those beagle eyes are hard to resist ...we noticed him getting a little chunky a few months ago so we all started bundling up and taking longer walks with him every day ... vet says he is at normal weight but we don't want to take any chances ... he never misses a meal
he has that famous beagle bark but luckily for us only barks when really provoked ... he has boundless energy ( chases our cats every chance he gets ) but still likes to be lazy every chance he gets to sleep in
and is very loveable, wants to be with us 24/7 when we are home ... his nose is constantly to the ground when he is outside but so far he doesn't run off ... he is too busy greeting us with a wagging tail at the front door to take advantage of the open door . He has the best personality, always happy . If you decide to get a beagle and have more questions feel free to PM me ...
