The Beagle
We work in both 15 and 13 inch Beagles
Not only is the Beagle an excellent hunting dog and loyal companion, it is also happy-go-lucky, funny, and thanks to its pleading expression cute. They were bred to hunt in packs, so they enjoy company and are generally easygoing. There are two Beagle varieties: those standing under 13 inches at the shoulder, and those between 13 and 15 inches. Both varieties are sturdy, solid, and "big for their inches," as dog folks say. They come in such pleasing colors as lemon, red and white, and tricolor. The Beagle's fortune is in his adorable face, with its big brown or hazel eyes set off by long, houndy ears set low on a broad head. A breed described as 'merry' by its fanciers, Beagles are loving and lovable, happy, and companionable all qualities that make them excellent family dogs. No wonder that for years the Beagle has been the most popular hound dog among American pet owners. These are curious, clever, and energetic hounds who require plenty of playtime.
Are you aware that Beagles are often used in laboratory experiments?
Beagles are the primary breed used in laboratory testing. Due to their docile, gentle, and forgiving nature, they are often exploited. Even under distress, Beagles will rarely fight back or bite. Their small size and short coats make them easy to house, and their consistency make them suitable for chemical and medical research. If you have it in your heart to help a survivor of animal testing, you may consider contacting Beagle Freedom Project. They place survivors in special loving homes all over the globe. Please consider fostering or adopting from Beagle Freedom Project. It is certainly not for everyone, but you could help a Beagle in need if you feel the calling. I also encourage you to consider donating to BFP's continued effort to rescue lab survivors. Please take the time to explore the link below and learn about BFP's mission.
