Description:

Rigby is a spirited and spunky little pup! He has a very confident personality and is very friendly.  He can be very stubborn, but at night he loves to snuggle with you and fall asleep. 

In the day, Rigby has boundless energy.  He’s always ready to play, follow scents, and hunt lizards and bugs. He needs a home with a yard and a person or pup to spend a lot of time with him each day.  Rigby is great with children, but in the home, children 8+ would be best, since Rigby plays rambunctiously. If you play rough with him, he’ll respond in kind, so treat him gently but firmly. 

He is very curious around dogs and loves to meet them. However, he prefers to chase cats rather than be friends with them!

Rigby is a true hound. He absolutely loves walks and gets so focused on following scents that he’ll tune out everything else. Be sure to keep him on a leash when he leaves the yard.  He would follow a scent to Georgia if you let him!

Rigby is house-trained and has learned to sit and give his paw for treats.  He’s doing pretty well with the stay command.  He loves to have his chest scratched and ears rubbed.  He will never fail to be super-excited when you come home to him.

He is up-to-date on all of his shots and heartworm medication. He recently lost a dewclaw, but it is healing nicely.

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.
