- The American Kennel Club categorizes the beagle as a hound. Not many people are aware of what hounds are and what exactly they were bred to do. Hounds are really hunting dogs, and they may struggle at times to adapt to living in a domestic setting. Sure, they love to eat food and sleep on cozy beds, but they still have a strong desire for doing what they were bred for: tracking scent.
I just got a Beagle yesterday my first dog, I think he was abused cause he looked so skinny and scared we took him on a walk and he became so happy when he got to smell everything, he loves it when he smells and cuddles. He is my favorite thing in the world now
They are a 4footed support system for the NOSE....Let them sniff, be patient!
Wait a minute. So you’re telling me beagles are dogs? You need to explain that to my beagle. He’s convinced he’s human.
Jim Coco They all think they are human members of the FAMILY.😀🐾🐾🐾
Even my Beagle thinks like that.
So true
Mine too....Mine is mostly beagle with some dachshund and terrier mixed in for extra interest.
I guess Im asking randomly but does anyone know of a method to get back into an Instagram account..?
I stupidly forgot the account password. I appreciate any tips you can offer me!
You don't know what LOVE is, until YOU have LOVED a BEAGLE !
Our sweet elderly beagle Molly had a stroke and left us on Easter Sunday. 😢 We didn't have her as a puppy so I watch puppy videos and imagine what she was like. They make me smile in between the tears. All dogs go to heaven so I'll see her again.😇
I hear you. Mine was a rescue just coming out of puppyhood. I wondered what she was like as a puppy. Sorry you lost yours, but Molly is probably running around sniffing heavens grass and then ignoring God when he calls for her.
@@smilingdog4067 Yes and I'll see her again someday!
So sorry to hear of your loss Ann Robertson...indeed, "all dogs go to heaven!"
trust me calling your beagle's name wont get him back, but calling them for dinner and they will be back in no time.
Damn right about that, my beagle you just simply say the word treat and he will turn back around😂😂
The best dog ever. My first love. Respect them and love them.
Put the speed to 1.25x, your welcome
Sigurd B.B thx
Sigurd B.B thank you😭
Thx
Thanks
Thanks. Now what about all the lame dad jokes? 🤣
We have had Beagles for 20 years. Sebastian was our first and my best friend.❤️ We now have three beautiful Beagle boys. They are all awesome individuals.😀😀🐾🐾🐾
That is awesome!
We have three beagles. I saw your video and couldn't resist watching it. We love the little guys, we've had them about ten years, but everything you said about them is spot on. I struggle to keep my wife from over treating them. One beagle became quite fat and we put her on expensive diet food (metabolic diet food) from the vet. Then I started rationing her food to 1/2 cup science diet morning and evening and she looks really healthy now. One time I let one of them off the leash while walking through fields. She ran about 200 yards away from me. I called her name and she stopped for a few seconds and looked at me, then turned back around and continued following her nose, just like you said. I have often had to climb over farmers gates and fences to retrieve one of my beagles and one time had to run part way up a mountain (Utah) so they only get off leash at the dog park now. My wife wanted to let the beagles sleep in our bed but I put my foot down. Two she-beagles sleep in our bedroom on a dog bed inside a plastic walled mini-corral. Or other he-beagle sleeps on a dog bed in the living room. Sometimes we feel like tearing out hair out after they get into garbage cans or pull food down from the counter followed by a three-dog feeding frenzy. But just like you said, you can't stay mad at them very long, they're just too lovable. And I love the smell. It's just a beagle smell. People on the river trail have told me I must spend a lot of time grooming the beagles, I replied that I spend no time at all grooming the beagles, so the wash and wear comment is true! Great video!
Little known fact: Beagles have large ears for finding scents, they waft scents to the nose rather than for hearing. Which explains why those big ears don't really help when you're yelling "STOP! COME BACK!"
LOL! You're dead on the "ears" for smelling & not for hearing - they're a very stubborn breed!
I have a beagle 2 years abs she is well trained. We are able to walk off leash without issues. She heals and always comes when called. Beagles can be trained!!!!
Had 2 female beagles. Wonderful companions for our 4 yr old daughter growing up. Knew they were good with children. We're NOT barkers.
One got glaucoma & had eye removed & other removed 2 yrs later. Adjusted well & followed her sister. Miss them.
I am making my yard into a jail due to the fact I live in the woods with bunnies and when my beagle escapes from his chain It means hours of tracking him and trying to catch him. I am running out of tricks to catch him because the same trick never works twice. They are VERY smart dogs and will find the weak link to any system. Of course after I catch him it means snuggles and puppy kisses so I can't complain too much.
When our Beagle "Trixie" was young she would move our kitchen chairs around during the day so she could see out the window in to the woods behind our house!
@@dirtydave2691 I did that but he sees the bunnies and losses it lol. MASTER IT'S HERE LET ME OUT!!!!
Getting a gps would likely help drastically in the recovery process of your beagle. Even if you must keep up with a service fee. It could make things incredibly less stressful when they get out.
SwordofRagnar Believe me when I say, they will come back. Our beagle use to escape the house until we learned to put on his lead indoors before opening the door. He would immediately run down to the cedar swamp and chase rabbits for anywhere between 14 and 24 hours. We he got exhausted he would come home and sleep for 24 hours.😀🐾🐾🐾
My Beagle tried running away once but wiggled his tail like it’s a game 😂
Best little friends I’ve ever had.
Very informative. I have a beagle. I can relate to the whole narration.
Sounds like a Cocker Spaniel (which I owned), once they start going after a scent all bets are off of calling them back. lol
They are loud! They are hard headed! And we love ours. :)
My Lucy was the biggest brat dog, she lived to be 17 years of age
She would pull the dishwasher door open and pull the bottom tray out and pull the dirty dishes out to lick them. She would pull the kitchen chair over so she could get onto the counter, she caught 4 mice during her life
She would sleep til noon if you let her
And if she wanted something there was no stopping her
I have had 4 beagles and they are so much fun and full of love
Mark, your beagle Lucy had a long life and you were very fortunate to have each other!
Awee i want one but as im looking up more about them one thing im seeing alot is their loud and constant barking. I hope thats not true for all of them cuz the i could never get one id have lots of complaints😅
@@jeezlouiz I mean they’re not loud like a bigger hound where it’ll actually hurt your ears. And any dog is about how you train and raise them
@@monkmoto1887 everyone that has met my dog says they cannot believe how loud she barks, your ears start ringing im not even lying lol
I'm in Canada and volunteer at a local animal shelter. I always wanted a Beagle and never thought I'd find a rescue one. But lo and behold one shift there he WAS! My Rocky - pictured here. He runs like the wind with his 3 legs and I love him SO MUCH!.
He is one handsome hound, Zoe!!!!
Indeed so cute. Glad you have each other. I have a beagle too.
Awesome story Zoe! We all should RESCUE dogs and NOT buy them from a breeder or the Pet Stores.
Awesome review. I have a 13 week old Beagle. Some many of the observations/behaviors you identify are coming to be. Good thing I have lots of land and no cars around to let her be a Beagle. Thank you!
I love this!! It is hilariously informative and accurate. The narration is classic! Good stuff.
This the best characterization of beagles. I have two 15 inch males and this video captures it all
We have one beagle, the nose on four legs is very accurate. Everytime we go out for walks he doesn't wanna go potty. His nose is always on the ground not even paying attention to what's in front of him.
All of these facts are so true about the beagles, especially their pleading eyes when they see you eat or about to throw food away. Ours would sit in a corner with those eyes just waiting knowing we will somehow give in. That's why we always take him out for a walk so that he won't go fat.
You explained very nicely.
Thanks❤
You describe, in a hitarious way, my beagle,Mia, to a tee!!!
Love your video.! Laughed all the way through!
Beagles are great dogs who are loving and intelligent.. My Dad loved his Beagle until he passed on. He used to howl like a seal screaming so they're not suitable for apartment living . My Dad's Beagle used to run up the mountain when he followed a scent and would come back hours later, so we had to be careful when we opened up our garage door so he wouldn't Escape! They're not very tolerant of young kids. I would recommend them but definitely find out if they're suitable for your household.
What a wonderful video you made! You made education a joy, and gave us extremely great tips. ❤
Thank you, glad you found this video on beagles helpful!
This video is truth.
Ok I am tryna decide if I should get a blue heeler or a beagle so...
Like for beagle
Dislike for blueheeler
I’ve been blessed by 4 beagle’s all lived happy and full lives. They come from heaven 😊😊😊
I love my stubborn beagle! ❤
my Beagle once ripped my shoulder after he caught a sent i couldnt lift my right arm for a while and i had a tear down my shoulder, there was also a time when he took me on a icy slipping ride down the road in the middle of winter. i had to get on my knees in the freezing cold just to get a grip on the ground. even so he was very very loving and a mild mannored dog. a toddler once went up to him and grabbed his snout, but as the toddler started pulling on it my Beagle just huffled and sat down letting the toddler do as he pleased
Mine was good with kids. I made sure he was around children when young. Even the occasional tail pull didn't bother him. Even at six months my goddaughter was forced to pet him when he rolled over.
I always ALWAYS fall for those eyes when my beagle watch me eat. Now he's like literally a walking saugage 🤦
Definitely hated cats especially those that sneak on his bowl when he's not looking. Very smart as if you're communicating with a 5 year old child. Very SWEET and affectionate.
great video!
Lovely video
So accurate. Best dogs ever
Beagles are the best dogs in the world. They are very affectionate, great with kids and you can play rough with them and they like it. Being short haired they're shedding is very minimal compared to most other dogs. Get the smaller size beagles and you will have the time of your life.
I have had three beagles and I have no idea what she's saying that they have a certain smell because my dogs didn't have that smell I didn't know what your talking about. Feed them good quality food and they will be your best friend for life. They love the snow
Canadian all the way
Theyll smell after they roll around in some funk but they dont smell regularly
I am thinking of having one but many say that they shed a lot.... Is it so?? Do they shed a lot if I feed them good quality food and brush them regularly???
My beagle, Peaches really didn't have a smell either. At least not an offensive one. My son and I would bathe her. And lather her up real good with Pantene Pro-V shampoo and conditioner. Once she was dried off, she was so soft. Incredibly soft and smooth, with a scent of heaven that would honestly last three days! We sure miss Peaches. And her soft, cuddly, super smell good fur!
@erozpl01 It makes them smell sooo good! You know you have an awesome dog when you can compare them to an air freshener! And the Pantene conditioner makes a beagles fur exceedingly soft. If your beagle is a bit portly, you'll have a super-soft fur-ball friend with the aroma of an awesome air freshener that lasts a serious 3-4 days! Lol! I'm not even kidding. Then you just repeat the bathing process, and your beagle will stay in the cycle of super-soft fur-ball friend with the aroma of an awesome air freshener. Perpetually. No pun intended, believe it or not. Just be patient enough to get them completely dry. Even a smell good beagle, doesn't smell good while wet.
@@arundhatighosh5025 minimal shedding. Especially when kept brushed. Just be sure that the type of brush used is not sharply pokey. Beagles appreciate such brushes about as much as a human would appreciate sharply scraping chalk across a chalk board. The right brush will make your beagle love you even more.
The “Duracell Bunny” I love it !
Best beagle review!
Join my channel. You will love it. It's all about beagles.
Nice movie! Beagles keep going and going!
Thank You Very Much for this CZcams vlog which is very informative & helpful to future Beagle owners. My bestie has 3 wonderful Beagles named Jackson (7yo Male rehomed), Barley (3yo Male adopted) & Hokie (approximately 6yo Female & rescued from Envigo Breeding Facilty, Cumberland VA). All 3 pooches bring him joy, comfort & companionship after a 12-hour hard day's work shift. Jackson is the smarty pants in the pack, loves to dig holes for "escape routes" & hates other dogs but Loves humans; Barley is the athletic one who has "Balleyetis condition" - constantly playing with balls which he loves to chew on & destroy! Hokie, on the other hand is a very sweet & cuddly Mama doggie whom Envigo used solely for breeding. She was born & raised most of her adult life in a kennel & therefore was not house-broken, socialized with other dogs nor taken for walks outside esp. on grassy areas. She always poops & piss inside the house after her 2-mile walk although she's learned to mark her territory along the route when we take her for a stroll. Guess we'll have to keep the training pads forever! Has anyone rescued an Envigo Beagle? If so, then how did you tackle the "house/potty" training?
I have one and I love him
The Accuracy of this video is Overwhelming. I have ABSOLUTELY learned cute face forgives . And for sure Take your Beagle to Free range Sniff Areas to run free. They will love u for it..
Have a beagle . She’s a dream dog. I love her so much. My best friend. 🥰 Absolutely great companion very easy going and lovable but absolutely stubborn too haha . Will teach u a lot about yourself and patience raising one of those hounds. Worth every little second. Good or bad.
I have a girl, too. She is my first beagle or any type of hound. I would get so upset with her and her stubbornness!!!! It wasnt until my mother told me thats just what beagles do that I quit getting upset about her ignoring me when I call her. That little look back at you and not come when they're called is so true and drives me nuts still. Ive been able to change my expectations of her and now I patiently wait for her to decide to come. She's always the last to come to the house when I call mine in. Im not mad at her now since I now know that she really cant help it, it's her nature. Love my little girl. She fits in great with my other dogs and even befriended my other girl dog who was abused and scared of everything. Olive (beagle) has taught Maggie (my scared girl) to play and basically to relax and have fun. Shes a rescue and belongs with us and we wouldnt be the same without her.
Do beagles bark a lot?
@@ameedrinkall7855 Olive is one of 3 dogs (others not beagles) and when they bark she howls with them. She rarely is a nonstop howler/barker. She has an awesome howl so it doesnt bother me much.
amee drinkall honestly i live in nyc and she knows better than that because I didn’t foster her vocals until she absolutely was confident in her bark. You’ll know what I mean if U get a puppy. If you let bark happen during play it will be fine because when everyone’s chilling she won’t have that drive to do it. It’s all about what u reward. If I turn my back while she barks she stops immediately because all they want is u to look at them all day lol . She can use her voice but it’s no more than any other dog.
Smiling Dog try a whistle for off leash and a treat on recall to fix that problem ! Lol . I get it though with these dogs. They do what they want lol. As long as u show them you’re interested in making it good for both of you they respond positively.
Getting mine Thursday. 8 weeks old.
I had a beagle that got 198.5 points out of 200 on a sweiz track.
She was very energetic and her 👂 moved under her pors when she got a sent of something so she didn't hear anything.
Omg I had a beagle that was everything this person said. This is so funny
So accurate especially stealing food that you dont ever noticing already eaten everything.
My 2 beagles are barking at the dog as we are watching this
Beagles are stomachs on four legs. They will eat ANYTHING. Including, and especially, your dinner!
So true, we always keep a watchful eye on our meals when beagles are around :)
My husband will tell you from his dinner being stolen by our last beagle. She helped herself to his pizza and nearly got his steak.
My beagle dachshund mix is super smart and pretty trainable I think. 💗
My beagle does have an odor. I do bathe her, but the odor does come. We all have a unique scent.
Yeah try raising a Bea-Bull. Beagle/English Bulldog mix. Both very stubborn dogs, but the most adorable puppies!
Great dogs and I think mine smells good.
I love my beagle ❤️
My pretty girl, Sweet Pea, once caught the scent of a rabbit while we were on vacation and had me running after her barefoot through a forest in the dark. Got her back though ❤
Glad you were able to bring her back to safety. Sounds like she may enjoy barn hunts!
1:50 this part gave me anxiety. As a beagle owner. Seeing a beagle off its leash is terrifying to me.
Every dog is the axiom of it's owner. Dog's are the best companions.
Fact number 1, Get a Beagle. Thats all.
so true
And i am watching this just after i got one.
In not sure your nationality and therby the accent you carry over into English speaking; however, i do admire your appeal to humor and personification of the "beagle experience."
I feel you and i could likely be friends with the place your imagination and humor is being drawn from.
I think youre cute in that regard. May i come over and cuddle on your beagle? Lol.
Stay beautiful, dearest
-Darby
I love beagles I have one
I have 3. It is great fun, but absolute insanity a lot of times.
im going to get one beagle
Gud Video
I clicked because of that 101 statement. I thought this is some sort of 101 list of facts.
Same aha
❤❤❤❤❤
My beagle is so lazy like that in the morning to lol
I relentlessly played hide and seek since my beagle was a small pup she has the best recall of any dog in this world 😅
Hide and seek is a great way to teach recalls in dogs. What a wonderful relationship you have. Your beagle is lucky to have you.
In other words, Beagles just can't help being Beagles.
Jokes on you! When we go for a walk, I don’t call them by their names, I just say “wanna a treat?”
Excessive shedding and odor are not normal in beagles. Ask your vet, it might be a skin problem. One of my doggies smelled really bad even after 3-4 days after a bath, he got a treatment with a special fish oil and he sheds very little now and he can even go a whole month with no baths and he doesn’t smell bad at all.
I was thinking of a Beagle as a service dog bc of their scent They can sense changes in the body... But... The thing that their ears Work mostly to bring the scent to the nose and their behaviour has me a little taken a back... Bc... Im worried the dog wont listen to orders bc of their ears :'(
Don't forget about deer my beagle track's the deer behind our house and several hunters i know say the same when trying to train them for rabbits
i did do + will somewhat like beagles
You forgot to mention that most Beagles are hounds for food.
My Beagle from my youth would only respond to one thing if he escaped: You calling out names of various foods/snacks/treats.
Then he'd return home faster than you could possibly imagine and of course expect said food, snacks & treats.
It's so cute that your beagle's recall consisted of the names of snacks! Yes we did mention the fact that beagles are chow hounds. It's one of one the most "beaglish traits!" At minute 3.54 "beagles act like they are starving when they just ate 15 minutes ago, with their pleading eyes asking for food as if on the brink of extinction. Dog owners cannot resist doling out foods, just to "save them" minute 5;34 "there are obese beagles , when owner have table scraps the beagle strategically places himself next to the trash as if saying "why not feed me instead of the trash can." when not stealing food from the countertop of raiding the trash can, beagles are feasting on rabbit poop in the yard. "
@@DogDiscoveries Oh, I guess I must have missed that. Apologies.
Thanks for a good video on this breed of dogs.
@@DenmarkRadar No worries! Best wishes!
My sister has a mutt that’s 35% Beagle. Her excellent sense of smell is impressive.
Yup, that's why beagles are called noses on four legs! I wonder if 35 percent is beagle, what is the rest?
Dog Discoveries
American Staffordshire Terrier 50%, and Shar Pei 15%. She calls her Valerie. She has a bad attitude about other dogs and a small area on her forehead that’s wrinkled.
Me and my 12 yrs daughter is madly in love with these puppies dying to bring one... I'm saving money
Me too

I am about to get a beagle 🤩
Think again...I have one and he keeps me on my toes...I love him to death though...
They are a handful. Be aware that they will ignore you or even walk away when you call them. Its maddening. I used to get so upset with my girl. She'd just look at me when I called her and sometimes would look me in the face as she walked off in another direction. Arrrggggg!! It was very hard to adapt to that beagle mentality for a while. I finally accepted that that is just her nature. Now I just laugh (most of the time) when she ignores me at first. THEY ARE STUBBORN AS HELL. Love her to death though. She has helped one of my abused dogs come out of its shell and PLAY! That made me cry to see my scared girl play with her new beagle sister! They love each other.
@@smilingdog4067
Thanks. 4 the advice😊, will definately think again...
Love my beagle but he is just crazy
Esta bien si se puede ok
do you a beagle would do well in a condo/ apartment
I have a beagle in my apartment (nyc) . She’s 8 months and thrives here. Make sure u crate train early in an apartment and stick with it. Will help with potty training as they are so stubborn. Crate after bad potty placement seemed to work for her finally. they’re such cuddle bugs. For exercise walk at least 8 blocks . We do Central Park or better yet dog parks. Best most adaptable loving dogs EVER ! Perfect dog in my apartment.
I'm trying to get my parents to say yes
🥰💜💚💙
My beagles get out 24/7
"Gaping throat"
Ill be honest most dogs make ZERO noise from the domestic enviornments ive seen. I am 28 and ive patiently waited out having a dog. I live on a legitimate farm and while theres already a bunch of animals i dont personally have one. It affects my quality of life and community because my mates are a couple and im a third wheel to everything taking place.
I know that having a dog and defining our relationship on my shoulders instead of fitting a "square peg in round hole" trying tirelessly for attention. consistenty, and affection
Im 28, male, single. My heart is more readily open to provide maintenance of care and high quality of care to a canine vs a female. Not comparing value and slandering the greater woman i know exists. Ive just seen the darkside of that coin too many times and placed WAY too much confidences in actually being treated decently.
You said it best, "There are no stupid beagles" just like for example "there are no stupid people" and yes as far as learning patience and TRULY caring for a dissimilar entity i feel like id be personally touched and rather content to "go beagling." Id feel implored and honored to be his/her lil buddy. Im sure he/she would save my heart from breaking completely.
Cheers. Darby laurel oregon
Watch out for ticks!! Look for holes or discolorations in the fur
Just got my first guy.
lol remember my pitbull is as smart as this beagle.. sadly we lost him due to a big tumor.. He was very protective around kids and would watch them play and if any random person does not get the okay from us. He won't let them near the kids. Beagle sounds like a overly dramatic motivated dog with a Quest! lmfao.. they are great to have if you live on the outskirt of a city and an avid hunter.. yard big enough for them to roam and exercise.
Change the speed to 1,75x for the fluent speech
If any one is a beagle owner can you tell me about it in detail.
Krishna Poudel best dog ever, although mine chews everything and is the most stubborn dog I’ve ever known. Need a lot of walks.eat everything including cheese, potato scrapings, mine also drinks beer and milk..
The dog is so cute.Thank you for watching the video.CZcams friend, come and see my dog.
Bailey comes back in two calls
At least you get a response! Baby steps...Aim for one call though if possible. They say never repeat commands in dog training, otherwise your smart dog will pause and wait for your second call!
The Duracell Bunny? Hmmmm...
Yup, the Duracell bunny. Google it. The Duracell Bunny came out before the Energizer Bunny did. It was the original.
@@DogDiscoveries Not trademarked for use in the U.S. or Canada since 1988. I was just a child then... can't say I remember ever seeing one. Looks like it makes more sense to the rest of the world. We just don't see that bunny here. Weird.
@@Salsuero There was a lawsuit behind that trademark and Energizer got the rights to use the bunny in the US and Canada.
Bruce Willis😂
Keeps going like the Duracell bunny????????
Prior to the Energizer bunny, there was the Duracell Bunny. The first Energizer Bunny commercial indeed was a parody mocking the Duracell Bunnies and claiming that Energizer would perform better.
@@DogDiscoveries So that's the real story! Thanks for clearing up something that's confused me for decades.
“Duracell bunny” you must mean energizer
Just google “Duracell bunny”
@@robbarker9697 stop your bananigans and check the facts...hater!

Does he obedient like Labrador..??
No you can't expect that from beagle....it's always dominant
No. Stubborn as hell. I had to change my expectations that mine will obey at all times. They just have that stubborn but playful dna.
@@smilingdog4067 I am confused between labra and beagle . my parents are 60 years plus and listenin to commands and obedience is most imp. so shud i take labrador or beagle?
@@karansinghchhabraofficial9371 Out of those two, I pick Labrador. Although, many can be non-obedient. The most obedient dog ive had is a Shepard mix. German Shepards can be trained to be VERY obedient.
I have both. The Lab is much more obedient. The Beagle can be much more stubborn. I attribute that to its breed traits. I can only hope the Labs behaviors brushes off on the Beagle...BIG HOPE. We just need to accept them for what we humans have been breeding them for. They are special in their own ways.
Speed up the video or else you'll fall asleep. Video is very informative though
She has a slight foreign accent, but I find her voice very pleasant, and easy to follow. 😊
See my page with our beagle who loves playing socks.
Beagles do not smell if they are petted enough.
That sounds like a great way to keep away the odor :)
OMG her jokes are the worst.
