Beagle

Breed History

The history of the Beagles dates back to 5th-century Greece, where their ancestors were used to hunt hares. These small scent hounds were reliable hunters, and they gained significant popularity in England for their ability to chase and hunt.

Modern Beagles were thought to come from Talbot Hounds, large scent hounds brought over by William the Conqueror during the 11th century.

The dog breed became popular in the country, often referenced in several works of art, and kept as a companion by Queen Elizabeth I. Its name supposedly came from the French word “begueule, “ which means gate throat.

Over time, the breed became a popular choice for owners all around the world, even becoming the face of the iconic dog Snoopy.

Thyroid Carcinoma

A thyroid carcinoma is a cancer of the thyroid gland. As a result, affected dogs will experience impacted hormone production. Beagles have an increased risk compared to other dog breeds, with environmental factors also playing a role in the cause. Symptoms include a neck mass, respiratory issues, and changes in bark. (Stephens et al, 1982)

Lymphoma

Lymphoma is a cancer of the lymphatic system, which also affects the spleen, gastrointestinal tract, and liver. This leads to swollen lymph nodes, a reduced appetite, and fatigue. While the exact causes are unknown, some cases have been traced to genetic and environmental factors. (Zandvliet, 2016)

Mammary Tumors

Mammary tumors are abnormal growths of cells in the mammary tissues that appear as lumps or masses. Other symptoms include skin ulceration, swelling, pain, and discharge. Age, breed, and diet play a role in the cause. (Moulton et al., 1986)

Beagle Grooming Guide

Coat Maintenance

Beagles should be brushed 1 to 3 times a week, depending on the activity level. A soft-bristle brush should do the trick.

Skin Health

Because they can be prone to skin infections and allergies, it’s important to brush their coat regularly. Also, avoid over-bathing and use gentle shampoos only.

Bathing

A bath should be given every 1 to 2 months, or if they get too dirty. Use a pet-safe shampoo and make sure to dry them thoroughly.

Nail Trimming

Generally, trimming every 2 to 3 weeks is recommended, but this can vary. Use sharp nail clippers meant for dogs.

Ear Care

Ideally, these dogs require ear cleaning once a month. Use a dog-friendly ear cleaner and gently wipe away the debris with a cotton ball.

Eye Care

For the eyes, Beagles don’t need frequent cleaning sessions. Just clean them whenever they have dirt or discharge. Use a damp cloth and wipe in an outward motion.

Teeth Care

Daily teeth brushing is recommended, but brushing twice to three times a week is still enough. Use a vet-approved toothpaste and toothbrush.

Physical Characteristics

Head

The head is slightly domed and moderately wide. It has a medium-length muzzle and is a square cut.

Eyes

A Beagle’s eyes are almond-shaped and are present in colors from brown to hazel.

Ears

The ears are soft, long, and floppy. These are almost long enough to reach the Beagle’s nose.

Body

They have a compact and muscular build with a short back.

Limbs

Beagles have limbs that are shorter in proportion to their body. The front legs are straight, and the hind legs are slightly bent.

Tail

The tail is moderately long and is often carried gaily, without any curl. The tip has a distinct, white color.

Coat

Beagles have a short, dense, and smooth double coat that is thick and sheds moderately. Colors come in lemon, black, brown, blue, white, red, and tan.
