Character and Nature
Hardly any dog breed of this size has such self-confidence as the Beagle.

Besides its friendly and affectionate nature, it should not be forgotten that this four-legged friend is a true hunting dog that demonstrates a clever mind in many situations but also brings a typical hunting dog character and a real stubbornness.
Unlike what some slender Beagles might suggest, this dog breed is anything but reserved when it comes to food: The Beagle would probably compete with any modern vacuum cleaner and the search for food in every free minute is a part of its nature that one must learn to handle.
Training and Care
Clearly, the Beagle needs someone by its side who shows the necessary perseverance and above all consistency →in terms of training. Particularly the urge to gobble up everything that lies by the wayside makes training sometimes difficult. In combination with the strong hunting instinct, it requires the necessary know-how to train the Beagle appropriately. With its →short coat, the →coat care is correspondingly uncomplicated.
Those who have the Beagle under control can look forward to an extremely affectionate, loving, and adventurous dog. Although it can be kept in an apartment due to its size, it brings the corresponding need for exercise and longs for lush greenery in its living environment. Since the Beagle prefers to be everywhere, it is not a four-legged friend that wants to stay alone during the entire workday. With its communicative nature, it is made for being a companion in professional life and has also earned its reputation as a therapy dog.
