Beagle, an energetic, cheerful and sociable dog

Historical

One of the best known and appreciated dog breeds is Beagle. With big eyes and claw ears are preferred by many people as pets. Like many other breeds of dogs, in the past, Beiglii has grown up to play a totally different role in being a pet. Breed up to help hunting, the origin of the breed is a bit uncertain.

There is a theory that the first Beagle was used in hunting in ancient Greece, around the fifth century AC in the Xenophon writings the use of a dog similar to the appearance of the Beagle to the hunt for small animals was mentioned. With the development of the Roman Empire, the breed has started to expand mainly in the territories that now belong to England. Beagle’s name belonged to all the small Ogos used on the hunt for small animals, although physically there were obvious differences but they were also different from today Beagle. In the 11th century William the conqueror brought Ogre Hubert and Talbot to England. Repeated crossings have been made with other types of English orcs to give them speed, hunting resistance but also the fantastic smell.

Queen Elisabeta I made a passion for the beagle breed. At that time there were two miniature versions that ran. Poket Beagle and Glove Beagle, small dogs that adapt to a pocket, respectively in a glove. With the size of a maximum of 23 cm in Greban, the dogs could be put in a hunter’s pocket and went to the horse next to it. The biggest ogre managed the prey to the ground, then the hunters released the Beagle to follow the prey through the subtitle and bushes. Currently, these breeds have disappeared.

Essentially the breeds that contributed to the formation of Beagle-Lului are Talbot, Sudic Ogar, Nordic and Harrier. In the selection process, the goal was to maintain a definitive and very important feature for the breed, that is to say the sense of the very developed smell. Therefore, even in our days Beagle-II are successfully used by the police or customs authorities to detect narcotics or prohibited substances. Being medium -sized dogs can be easily slipped into small or narrow spaces inaccessible to people or other dogs of large.
The Beagle Club was founded in 1890 and the standard of the race followed shortly after.

Currently, according to the American Kennel Club, The Beagle Breed is one of the 10 most popular races in the world. Although they are independent and training can place some difficulties (they have not been bred to please the teacher, like German shepherds or retrievers), they are excellent as pets, especially for families with children. The popularity of the breed has grown not only in England, but also throughout Europe and the United States and largely an essential contribution were the animations Wallace and Goomit, the Shiloh film or the TV series Wonder Years. A character of the cartoons known all over the world is Snoopy, the most famous Beagle, the main character of the bands designed to peanuts. His fame has made people or families with children want their Snoopy at home.

PERSONALITY

Increased to hunt with other dogs, Beagle is a cheerful, sociable and extroverted dog and understands well with other dogs. He is a delicate dog with children and can accept other pets around him (for the ex -cat) if he has been socialized with them. It is atypical that a beagle is aggressive or violent, but it is essential to be socialized by young people, children and other pets.

Due to the fact that it is an independent dog and can be very easily distracted by external stimuli, its training can be difficult. Like most hunting races, they were not raised to please the teacher, but rather to think independently. A specific feature of Beagle is stubbornness. They will completely ignore the masters in favor of their favorite activities, in particular they have followed a smell. Similar to other hunting dogs, the beagle suffers from «selective hearing». Within the hunt, the selective hearing is essential and allows the dog to concentrate better on what he has to do, ignoring other noises. In everyday life, selective hearing manifests itself when the dog totally ignores the master’s calls and is focused on other activities. That’s why it is essential to learn the dog to come to us when he is called. With patience and delicious prizes, we will have a very obedient dog. It is essential that the training began as soon as possible.

Although it is a dog who prefers nature, Beagle can live comfortably in the apartment. He is an energetic dog, he needs a minimum of an hour of exercise in nature, although ideally it should. He will love run, explore new smells, roll in the grass.

A characteristic feature of Beagle-Lilo is that he likes to bark a lot. Being very friendly, they will never be good safety dogs, but they will always alert to the master if someone enters the courtyard. Beagle-people likes «singing», they will try to imitate the sound of ambulances or policy cars. Not all Beagle’s screams, but they certainly break down. Beagle has left alone for long periods of time or bored excessively it barks.

Being pack animals, the Beagle will always prefer the master’s company and suffer if he is left alone for too long. They can suffer from separation anxiety. They get bored easily and can become destroyed if they do not have mental stimulation and regular exercise. Although there are rather energetic dogs outside, in the house they are calm. It is very difficult tired of a beagle, they were raised to resist hunting hours. Regular exercises and the rationalization of food are important to maintain the optimal weight of a beagle. It is known that they are greedy.
He is an extremely expressive dog and will be able to transmit his feelings to the master.

As with any other dog, early socialization with people, situations, sounds, different experiences is essential and this will help us have a balanced dog.
