Beagles

Hi, this is Hugo he is 8mths old, we’ve never had a Beagle before and we are still learning! He’s very loving and full of mischief. He’s dug a few huge holes in the garden and He also believes all my plants need rescuing from their pots so he’s certainly keeping me busy in the garden ! Hugo is very friendly and loves to meet other dogs sometimes a little too enthusiastically, but we are in training and hope we can improve this with time. Hoping Hugo can make some new friends for play dates! Looking forward to seeing other beagle posts x 😊

Personal Stories 

Example: 

This is my Lexi, she is 8 and was our first dog. Beagles.......where do I start? They are hounds, pack dogs so do tend to get on with all dogs. We have been to beagle meets with 90 of them no problems until someone got a sandwich out! They are gentle which is why they are used for testing.(Google it you will never forget the sight or sound of the cries ) beagles although will love you with all their heart, truly believe they don't need you on a walk, the saying is " a man in a park holding a lead calling for his dog, is a beagle owner, or (slave as we are known). If you are thinking of becoming staff for this gorgeous breed of pooch.
