Regal came to us from a high kill shelter as a mother of eight! Poor girl was horribly under weight and is spending time in a foster home getting back to health. She is so sweet and loving!
Foster Update: Regal has been with me since she was rescued and has been recovering well. She was dewormed and her energy is really showing through with the more weight she gains! She is very clean in the house, calm and well-behaved in her crate. She is crate trained and will eat in there as well as lay quietly while I am not at home. She is always great during bathtime and grooming. She is very loving, snuggly and submissive, and loves to play with all the other foster puppies! She loves people, although she will bark when first meeting them, but then loves on them. Regal loves to lay in the sun and be with her people cuddling on the couch. She is just a lovely girl. I would love to see her go to a home with children, as she is very friendly.
Like many dogs in the South, Regal is heartworm positive, but don't let that stop you from adopting a great dog. We are treating her with monthly heartworm preventative, our preferred method. Many heartworm positive dogs go on to lead long and healthy lives.
According to www.dogbreedinfo.com, the Beagle is one of the most popular scent hounds because of his energy, willingness, and merry, sweet disposition. The breed probably originated as a cross between the Harrier and other hounds in England. The Beagle has been used in packs, alone, and in pairs, for hunting hare, pheasant and quail. He has also served as an excellent narcotics detection dog and makes a fine family companion. The Beagle is a gentle, sweet, lively and curious dog that just loves everyone! A happy little tail-wagger! Sociable, brave and intelligent. Calm and loving. Excellent with children and generally good with other dogs, but should not be trusted with non-canine pets, unless they are socialized with cats and other household animals when they are young. Beagles have minds of their own. They are determined and watchful and require patient, firm training. This breed doesn't like being left alone. Consider buying two if you will be gone a lot. A Beagle has a loud baying cry that was a delight to hunting horsemen, but can be disturbing to family and neighbors. Beagles have a tendency to follow their own noses. They may take off on their own exploration if let off their leash in an unfenced area. Energetic and possessing great stamina, the Beagle needs plenty of exercise, but a yard of reasonable size will take care of most of its requirements. A brisk daily walk will cover the rest. Always use a lead when walking this breed or you will be running the risk of it disappearing in search of wild game. They have a life expectancy of about 12-15 years.
