Pets can give great companionship and a lot of joy as well, especially if we have no human companionship. Many people just choose between in general a cat or a dog, and you may have decided on the latter. Your friends have recommended a beagle and shown you some addresses for beagle breeders in California and get a puppy. This might seem a good idea, but maybe it is best to know more about this breed before getting one into your heart and home.

Before the 1700s the beagle was used as a hunting hound, and it currently is still classified as such. However it came into disfavor due to its slow speed when compared to the foxhound, which later replaced it as a hunting dog of choice. Many however still retained the beagle as a hunting hound when it came to hunting smaller prey such as rabbits, while most however became just pets and household companions.

Since it is really a hunting dog, expect it to have a lot of energy, thus it may have a hard time adjusting to indoor living and small space living. They will require regular walks of over an hour a day and they will usually chase anything that catches their interest. It is a dog that barks a lot, so you may have a problem with neighbors. Do not think of getting this dog if you plan on living in close proximity with a lot of people.

Beagles are very intelligent and they need to be occupied all the time. Once it does get bored however it will start digging and chewing on things. Should they be left alone by themselves they can be quite destructive. They should be given a lot of attention and mental stimulation as well.

Even though it is an intelligent dog, it is a stubborn one. This stubborn character makes it one of the more difficult dogs to train as it seems to be always weighing the outcome between commands. It is definitely not a dog for first time owners. This same stubborn character can make this a breed that is hard to housebreak as well.

Depending on how much exercise you give it and how you feed it this dog can reach anything between eighteen to thirty pounds when it reaches maturity. It also has an average lifespan of around ten to fifteen years and will stand a little over one foot at the shoulder when fully grown.

Probably the best skill that this dog has is that it is a super sniffing dog. It is known as being a nose on legs, and is one of the best bomb and drug sniffers around. If you own this dog be prepared to see it always sniffing around looking for something interesting for it to study or even to play with.

These dogs do not make the very good guard dogs at all due to their friendly nature. This friendliness also make them easy prey for thieves. As such they must be kept inside as much as possible to prevent them from being dog napped by unscrupulous persons.
