Verzorgingsgids

Beagles need a secure garden as their strong scent drive can lead them to wander. They are food-motivated which helps with training but means they are prone to obesity. They can be vocal — training helps manage barking.

Bewegingsbehoefte

At least 1 hour of daily exercise. Beagles love long walks with plenty of sniffing opportunities.

Vachtverzorging

Weekly brushing to manage their short, dense double coat. Regular ear cleaning as their floppy ears are prone to infections.

Gezondheidsproblemen
