Temperament

Beagle dog

The Beagle is sociable, brave, intelligent, calm and loving. It’s a sweet, gentle, lively and curious dog that just loves everyone. It’s a happy little tail-wagger! The Beagle is one of the most popular scent hounds because of its energy, willingness, and merry, sweet disposition.

It’s excellent with children and good with other dogs, but should not be trusted with non-canine pets, unless it is socialized with cats and other household animals. The Beagle is determined and watchful. It requires patient and firm training. This breed doesn’t like being left alone. The Beagle tends to follow its nose wherever it goes and was bred for the hunt – which means baying, howling and barking. Beagle has a loud baying cry that can be disturbing to family and neighbors.
