Beagles


Today I'm going to post about Beagles now to start off I'll name the basics Beagles originated from great
Britain and they were used to hunt smaller animals,the average weight of a beagle is about 18 - 30 lbs this will change if they are a girl or a boy  normally male Beagles are bigger then a female beagle , next fact is that today beagles are very rarely used for hunting , normally beagles can be around 13 to 38cm tall and this can change just like there weight. Beagles are also one of the feu dogs that don't drool a ton and they don't shed alot. Beagle like most dog can vary in color. Beagles can live 14- 17 years old because they can have genetic problems like bad eye site and sometimes back problems because there so low to the ground all the time. Beagles use there nose much more then there eyes. Thank for reading I hope you learned something and please leave a comment !

  1. :) I like your blog. I don't know too much about different dog breeds--as I have never had a dog--and so this is very helpful for me! Could you include a photograph of the dog that you are reporting on each time? It would help me identify them when I'm out and about :)

  2. Dear Brenna,

    I love reading your dog blog. I think you are doing a terrific job - very informative.

    If I recall, your family was considering getting a beagle but you ultimately elected to get Hamish.

    I knew that beagles have been used for hunting. However, I was unaware that they have a genetic predisposition to bad eyesight and back problems.

    Do you know if most other smaller dogs (i.e., dogs that are physically lower to the ground e.g., tea cup terriers) also have back problems?

    love
