Goober passed after living nearly 16.5 yrs... I still miss the little stinker as he was born on 12 April 1992! His death date is barely 4 days away! Thankfully, Jethro helps me avoid focusing on that...
Good for you & Buddy! Sometimes the shy or "more reserved" pups grow into very social & outgoing dogs! Jethro was the "runt of his litter" & the last one to be purchased from his breeders after 40...
Nhrapro840, I hope you get the "second-chance" that you seek! Life is full of uncertantys...I was lucky with my first one despite the health problems he had when I adopted him! To prepare, I had read...
Beagles are "to say the least a challenge"! It is common to take about/at least 3 yrs for them to outgrow the unpedictable puppy stage, That was the case with my first 2 pups & Jethro my 3rd will...
Goober was a big boy in his youth that was also 18" @ the withers & the healthy "weight for him was 45 lbs". For most of his life he was a big beag, until he reached 14 yrs as he lost muscle mass he...
Anal gland problems are most commonly associated with a poor diet. Pop & I have had beagles most of our lives, & "this issue" has never been a problem until our dogs reach "seniour status". Pets need...
My first one was adopted in 1976 & I have been in love with the breed ever since! The first few only lived to age 13, but now with advanced care they can easily live to 15 yrs & more! Goober lived...

My first beagle was a rescue that was half beag & fox terrier, but he was "all beagle" in personality! He loved to hunt rabbits & quail & still holds the record as a multilingual non-human in the...
My last beagle was larger than Jethro & above "breed standard" in height & weight, but was not a "natural hunter". He was a great family pet & a very noisy guard dog! (He had 2 left feet in the...
Yes, some of them like Jethro (make a game of it)! He quickly learned to catch the stream of water in his mouth! BUT, now that he is nearing 3 yrs old a firm NO works! He shows great promise to...
But, I adopted my 1rst beagle on 2/2/1976. And I have loved the breed ever since as Snapper was not a young dog when adopted, yet spent 13 yrs with me before old age claimed him! My first beagle pup...
The "terrible two's" eh?
I got my first puppy in 1992 after my "rescue beagle trained me"! I would advise the use of a squirt bottle with water. Goober, was quite a handfull as a pup, but he quickly became the smartest one...
