Grumpy (who is NOT Grumpy) and his six siblings came to us when they were 10 days old. Their mother Disney had them in a high kill shelter in the panhandle. We took in the whole family hoping to find them all forever homes.
Foster Update: All seven of these puppies are very happy, loving and inquisitive. They eat well and settle down fine at night and then sleep through the night and let me know in the morning when they are ready for breakfast. They eat Kirkland Puppy Food from Costco, a chicken and no corn Premium Dog food . They are quite solid and are a little heavier than they look, but not growing as tall as a typical pointer, so seem to have some beagle in them too, although their mom looks just like a bluetick coon hound and is about the same size as a coon hound.
The name 'Grumpy' is not a reflection of this puppy's personality. We just thought since there were seven puppies it would be super cute to name them after the seven dwarves!
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.
