These cute puppies were a product of an accidental litter. A wonderful dog lover found a cute beagle running around the neighborhood. They soon found out she was very pregnant (and assumed it was the unfixed male Australian Shepard dog up the road whom impregnant her). She had four beautiful puppies whom are nowing looking for wonderful homes! They definally have the hound look but also have a touch of the Aussie in them too!
Foster Update: Emmett is doing great but seems to be taking on a bit of seperation anxiety when we leave the room let alone the house :( We're just taking it as a sign of love and affection and trying to urge him to occupy himself with toys. Last night we realized he could scale the ring that Judy provided (I had no idea how he was sitting on the bed after I had showered and left him in his ring- two visits to our room and hopping into bed had us setting up a video camera!- The little guy CLIMBED the cage wall. I guess determination is no question with him. He's eating and drinking well and really enjoying going for runs on the trails we have near by (I can drop his leash as it's a secluded area and he jobs right by my side the whole time). Other than his escape antics and a bit of chewing (in which case we've been getting him away form the molding of the walls by giving him a chew toy right away) he is doing great! I think he would definitely benefit from having a companion though and something I would urge for any family that adopts him and is not home full time (I luckily work from home so can stay with him).
Foster Update: Emmett is doing great! He's been getting very used to his crate (though he has learned to unzipper his kennel!). He is very good with some key commands we have taught him (sit, laydown, and laydown on your back). He's getting very used to walking with his leash but still prefers the trails and secluded areas where he'll stay right by your side without a leash. The Aussie in him has him waiting for stragglers and keeping everyone together. Emmett is a good eater but prefers to sit and eat his meals only when his "pack leaders" do. He does not beg for table food and will keep to his own dish which is great! He's a very intelligent pup with lots to offer any family that would have him!
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.
