6. So it looks like most are saying beagle
with some saying beaglet. Do they get big? Shed? Stay this goddamn cute?

7. They don't get very big. 14 to 18" at the shoulder. We had one and she
was a howler. They can also be a bit stubborn. Marie (our beagle) decided she did not like the feel of grass on her paws and there fore decided to bark her head off constantly every time we let her out. When we let her in, she'd piddle and poop on the floor by the door. They are sweet but very trying dogs. They like to "get into" things...like pens.

8. they come in two sizes >13" and >15"
Edited on Thu Nov-30-06 09:46 PM by AZDemDist6
they are very good companion dogs, they shed the usual amount for a short haired breed and they stay pretty darn cute!

9. Beagles don't get very big
My great-uncle had several over the years, and they're maybe 18" high and 2' long. Their only disadvantage is that they tend to put on weight easily if they don't get enough exercise or are overfed.

(By the way, the person who said "beaglet" meant a baby beagle, just like a piglet is a baby pig.)

24. "Stay this goddamn cute?"
Not to offend any Beagle lovers here but I would say no - the pup in this pic is cute because pictures are silent, Beagles are not.

Beagles can be great dogs but they have boundless energy, can be extremely stubborn, are dangerously smart (need an owner who's smarter than them) and can be very, very, very vocal.

They don't get very big. They do shed and their fur is like pine needles that doesn't just get "on" stuff, it gets "in" stuff which makes it hard to just dust or brush off.

Seriously, if you're considering one based on this pic, do your research. Cute is not always what it's cracked up to be.

36. Beagles are great dogs
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beagle

The Beagle has a very good temper and gentle disposition. Beagles are intelligent, but are stubborn and may be hard to train due to their strong will, which is common in the breed because of its curiosity (especially for scents). However, if a newly-bought puppy has a dominant master in control, they can be easy to train and can obey basic commands. They are an especially loyal breed and are very friendly. Unaltered males will often howl, bark, or chase after another dog or object, but rarely physically harm it. Females tend to be less aggressive before their first heat cycle, but afterwards are protective of their puppies and families. Both genders are excellent with children (puppies especially) and can even play with toddlers. They also get along with other dogs, provided that they have been socialized correctly.

Beagles are playful and energetic dogs who enjoy long walks. Being scent hounds, if released, they may follow a scent endlessly or will incessantly try to tag along with other dogs regardless of cars, strangers, etc. They can be quite difficult to walk, especially when distracted by enticing smells. Because of their curiosity and spirited temperament, beagles are famed escape artists and humane societies and pounds all over the U.S. often pick up stray beagles.

Beagles are pack animals, and can be prone to separation anxiety. They are best kept with other dogs if they are going to be left alone for long periods of time. A common misconception is that all Beagles howl incessantly. In reality, some are more vocal than others and some do not bark often at all. Puppies, however, will yelp and whine if left alone in a crate, kennel, or enclosed area such as a play pen. However, if a beagle incessantly barks, it is probably because it is not often corrected, and can take on the assumption that that type of behavior is acceptable. The breed has thousands of representatives and each has his or her own personality.

37. An abashed beagle.
He looks ashamed about something.
Guilty as hell, for sure.
Beagles got NO guile, whatsoever.
