Sandy continues to be a joy to have in my home.

She loves to chase the squirrels in the yard.  She will play outside all day running and lazing in the sun.  She sleeps on her dog bed all night and will only get up on the sofa when given the okay.

She does stress when in the crate and shows signs of seperation anxiety when left alone.

She would be an wonderful companion for someone who is home most of the day or travels in a motor home as she loves to ride in the truck.

Sandy is such a lovely girl. She loves to ride in the truck. She has been coming to work with me everyday and has been great with the small dogs in the office.  She is clean in the house and in the crate however she does stress when crated.

She knows basic commands. She would love someone to watch tv with take walks with and just snuggle up to.

Poor Sandy is looking for her forever home after her orginal owners were just going to dump her on the streets...a concern pet lover took her in and found her a place with us! We hope to find this dog a wonderful forever home. She's good with dogs, cats, and kids!

 

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.
