One of the most most-loved medium-sized dog in America is the Beagle. When we think of the Beagle, it's natural to think of Snoopy, the lovable Beagle in the Peanuts comic strips. And Snoopy captures the highly intelligent, charming and playful spirit of the Beagle perfectly. Sure a real Beagle cannot do many of the things that Snoopy does, like fighting an aerial battle with the Red Baron, writing a novel or acting as Charlie Brown's attorney (;-P) but the ingenious Beagle can do many thinks that we cannot imagine that dogs are capable of doing... like climbing high fences like cats and escaping from the most secured of places (check out this video for proof!).
And besides being master escape artists (Houdini would be proud!), they are extremely vocal dogs. They bay, howl and bark when they are bored, excited, lonely, sad, happy, nervous etc.... So if you have neighbours that do not take too kindly to noise, a Beagle may not be all that suitable as a family pet. An example of a Beagle's "musical" howling can be experienced in this video:
Although Beagles like to explore and wander to wherever their powerful noses take them, they also need constant companionship, a bored and lonely Beagle is prone to mischief and destructive behaviour. So do plan time to exercise and play with your Beagle a few times throughout the day to keep him feel happy and loved.
One of the best videos about Beagles on the Net is this Animal Planet video on Beagles. This video shows the basic characteristics of Beagles in a fun yet informative way.
