Behavior and characteristics of the Beagle
Beagles are very affectionate dogs that have the perfect personality for family life. They tend to get along great with kids. If properly socialized they can also get along with other family pets. However, because they have been bred as a hunting dog they may not be the best bedfellows for small pets such as rabbits and cats.
Care and grooming
The Beagle is a low maintenance breed. Their coats need minimal brushing and bathing. However, their floppy ears make them prone to ear infections. You will need to clean them out regularly to prevent chronic problems from occurring . You will also need to trim their nails regularly. This breed needs obedience training especially to control their vocalizations and to improve their obedience. They are very intelligent dogs and tend to be good at problem solving and are known for their ability to escape enclosures. Because of this and their tendency to bark and howl, they are not a breed that should be left alone a lot.
