Beagle Puppies Are Highly Intelligent



Fans of cartoons already know that Snoopy, from the "Peanuts" cartoons is the most well known beagle in the world. Due to its popularity, many families have decided to have a beagle puppy for a pet and are rewarded by a fun loving, loyal animal that ingratiates itself into the family. Often considered to be a happy dog, the beagle has an even temper and docile temperament, and can easily be integrated into a family, even where young children are present.

While some may consider the beagle to be mischievous, they are looking to have fun and their breed is well known for liking to play with others in the household. When a puppy is born and has the opportunity to learn how to act around other puppies, they can quickly adapt to a new home with a new human family. As highly intelligent dogs, a beagle puppy can learn new behaviors and be ready and willing to demonstrate their new abilities.

Most beagles seem to have an abundance of energy and will require room to run and play outside the confines of the house. A fenced in yard may seem ideal for a beagle puppy but if they happen upon a strange and interesting scent, there is no telling how far they will go to discover the source of the smell. However, if they have the opportunity to get running out of their system with daily exercise, they are more willing to stay indoors and confine their play to getting along with other family members.

Their ability to pick up scents, which is part of their natural breeding, can be a little bit of a problem during training exercises. Their attention span is considerably short and if they happen across a strange scent will abandon their training session and head out on the new trail. Their inbred desire to hunt makes them easily distracted in search of new smells and sights.

Beagles are not only great as family pets, as their ability to track scents allows them to work with many agencies where larger dogs may not be as efficient. In some surroundings, such as airport where many people and children can quickly be intimidated by a large dog, a beagle puppy can be trained to search for contraband in luggage terminals as well as in finding illegal substances sought by agricultural departments.

They are known for the work with law enforcement in routing into small areas in search of contraband in places where larger dogs will not fit. When originally trained as hunting dogs, their stamina was counted on for the longer hunts of the day as they could chase down and corner a rabbit, keeping up with it in the open and well as chasing it through areas other animals could not go. While many still use the beagle breed for hunting purposes, they are more in demand as friendly and loyal pets.
