• A very energetic breed of dog, Beagles are social, curious, intelligent and brave. Beagles are scent hounds and have a tendency to ignore everything but the interesting scent when hunting. They are also likely to get into trouble as their hound dog instinct can take over in an instant should a Beagle catch a whiff of an exciting or interesting scent.
• Male Beagles will grow to an average height of 14 - 16 inches and average weight of 22 - 25 pounds; females, 13 - 15 inches and 20 - 23 pounds.
• On average, a Beagle will live 12 - 15 years.
• Most Beagles have three colors in their coat; red and white, orange and white or yellow and white with black or brown saddle. Coat is short to medium length that requires minimal care – regular brushing and bathing only when necessary. |
