This is a dog whose origin goes back to England, where the very refined sense of smell of these dogs was used on a large scale. However, there are records from the region of Greece, from 400 BC that show dogs very similar to them.

In any case, they gradually gained ground. First, by conquering the nobility, being common among this class. Even among kings and queens, as is the case of Queen Elizabeth I, who showed off with a mini Beagle.

This breed, by the way, was one of the first to be recognized by the American Kennel Club, a foundation that recognizes pure breeds of dogs. Thus, since 1885 he has had international recognition and adds his grace to the title of purebred.

The beagle is a sniffer-type dog. Thus, he is of medium size and is characterized by having long ears and a broad muzzle. And, you know, he uses that snout nonstop! No wonder, then, it is known to be a hunting dog that helps in locating prey.

Other characteristics of the Beagle are:

  • The best known have three colors (brown, white and black), but it is common that they also have only one. Among the colors that can appear on the coat, in addition to the traditional ones, are brown and reddish brown;
  • Tail tip usually white;
  • Short, smooth and dense hair, resistant to rain;
  • Black nose;
  • Big, big eyes.

Thus, recognizing them becomes relatively easy, as they have striking characteristics. However, it is not just your physique that presents specific data. See, below, a little about the temperament of this puppy!

What is the Beagle's temperament and behavior like?

This puppy is full of personality. He is very playful, has a lot of attachment to the owner and gets along very well with children. Not being a territorial dog, the beagle tends to socialize excellently with other dogs.

Thus, he does not show resistance or any kind of aggressiveness in the presence of third parties. Still, he is quite intelligent, despite being smart, curious, and mischievous. This combination of factors, then, limits your ability to obey.

Also, beagles are well known for the trouble they get into. This is due to the fact that they are very curious and therefore like to explore everything, especially with their sense of smell. Likewise, these dogs are driven and enjoy attention, which can cause them to play pranks on their owners.

A very interesting factor in the behavior of the beagle is that he is fascinated by smells. And this is not by chance. After all, it has more than 220 million olfactory receptors! That way, they enjoy exploring locations and smelling (and eating!) everything in their path.

So, not infrequently they end up getting lost or getting into some trouble. This occurs by distraction, during its "hunt", the world around. Therefore, while they require a good space to play and explore, they need barriers to prevent them from getting lost.

Therefore, this is a dog that is a lot of fun, while at the same time demanding a lot of responsibility from its owners. However, with him there is no bad time: every day is a party day and lots of games.

The beagle is a medium-sized dog. Thus, the height of dogs of the breed usually varies between 33 and 41 centimeters. On the other hand, weight presents much more variation. This is due to the fact that despite being very active, these dogs tend to be obese.

That way, without the necessary care for food and exercise, they tend to gain a lot of weight. No wonder, in fact, their average weight varies between 9 and 35 kg. Still, even though they are medium-sized dogs, they need space to sniff, play and expend energy.

How much?

In Brazil, the puppy price starts from R$ 350 and can go up to R$ 3 thousand, on average. This variation is high due to the diversity of this dog's coat types. Also, due to the existence of some dwarf types, which are in demand because they need, in principle, less space.

However, before any purchase of baby animals, it is necessary to check the quality of the breeding site. This in relation to space and dealing with animals. Otherwise, you may be collaborating with illegal activities.

Also, pets of this breed require a balanced and special diet, as they tend to obesity. With that, be sure to consult the vet to choose the best alternative.

In addition, the beagle requires at least weekly hair brushing. This is due to the fact that they shed all year round. Thus, it is necessary to eliminate the loose ones, so as not to accumulate dirt, dead cells and microorganisms.
