Beagles are effortlessly recognized by their friendly expression and long, drooping ears. Their friendly temperament and sociable character make Beagles excellent companion animals. Kindness to children and compatibility with other pets further emphasize the flexible and calm nature of these important members of the family.

What sets this unique breed apart is the extraordinary sense of smell that Beagles historically needed for hunting. This natural ability, along with invincible endurance, has made Beagles priceless for search and rescue operations.

    Life expectancy

    Fur

    Beagles typically have a short, dense, weather-resistant coat with a smooth texture. The two-layer combination of a soft bottom layer and a relatively rough outer layer provides excellent thermal insulation in various weather conditions. To maintain cleanliness and reduce shedding, the Beagle coat requires regular brushing.
