I have a beagle.... let that set in, all the stigma that comes with having beagles, I think I have heard at least 10 times. "Their Hunting Dogs" "They get into the fridge all the time" "When they pick up a scent they go with it" "They tear apart furniture" "They are outside dogs"
Being a beagle mom to a puppy is hard, I am not going to doll it up and make it sound like you should go buy a beagle tomorrow....however you should go buy a beagle tomorrow or adopt one! My Beagle is my first beagle I have ever had, my husband has had a beagle in his childhood. Our Beagle is 5 months old, and she's the biggest love bug you ever did see.
The top 5 major misconceptions to Beagles I've learned:
1. "They can't focus on anything but whatever scent they pick up"
*Unless my dog is cannibal I am pretty sure this staring in the camera is pretty focused*
2. "They aren't "family" Pet material"
*Yes I can see by the way she is cuddling with me that she would be HORRIBLE for children*
3. "They are aggressive when it comes to eating"
*Yes I can see that by the way she is just looking at me she's ready to rip my face off*
4. "Their not the kind of dog you dress up and treat like a Princess"
*Your totally right, she just hates being treated like a pretty princess*
5. "They prefer to live outside on their own"
*Your totally right she loves living on her own....in our home....in the living room.....spoiled.*
as you can see, your beagle is all what you make him or her to be, sure she loves to play outside, and yes she enjoys climbing things (mostly me) and yes I have 1 or 2 small holes in my couch, but what puppy doesn't chew a hole in something?!
