Beagle Dogs & Puppies for Sale

Beagles are known for their friendly personalities and curious nature. However, choosing a Beagle puppy or adult dog requires thought and care. Read our guide to buying and rehoming a dog safely for more information.

What are the characteristics of a Beagle?

Beagles are born explorers. With a keen sense of smell, they were originally bred as tracking dogs. This means they're trainable and eager to please. They're well-known for being sociable with both humans and other dogs, and their friendly temperament and compact size mean they can easily blend into a busy family life.

Are Beagles a good choice for families?

Beagles are highly regarded for their sociable nature, intelligence, and versatility. They are particularly good with children and other pets, which makes them perfect household companions. Their affectionate nature and keenness to engage in activities also make them delightful pets.

Are there any downsides to owning a Beagle?

Beagles tend to have an independent streak, which can mean you'll need a bit more patience and creativity in training sessions. They also follow their noses, which can lead them into trouble or away from home if they catch an interesting scent. This means you'll need a secure, fenced-in garden to allow them to safely explore and play. They're also particularly vocal dogs, which can be a challenge if you (or your neighbours) are sensitive to noise. Finally, they are also prone to certain health issues - such as obesity - if their diet is not properly managed.

How much does a Beagle puppy cost?

The price of a Beagle puppy in the UK can fluctuate widely based on location, the dogs lineage, and whether the puppy has been health-checked and vaccinated. Typically, costs can vary from £400 to over £1,500. It's important to plan not only for the initial investment but also for ongoing expenses such as food, vet care, and training.

How long do Beagles typically live?

Beagles have an average lifespan of 12 to 15 years. With appropriate care, frequent vet visits, and a balanced lifestyle, some Beagles may live longer than their predicted lifespan.

Are there any common health issues I should be aware of?

While Beagles are generally healthy, they can be predisposed to certain health issues, including obesity, epilepsy, and disk disease. If you're talking to an owner on Gumtree about rehoming a puppy or dog, ask about the animal's history and the results of any medical tests that have been carried out.

How much grooming do Beagles need?

Beagles have a short, weather-resistant coat that doesn't need much grooming. Regular brushing will help to minimise shedding and keep their coat in good condition. They also benefit from occasional baths and routine nail clipping.

Is a Beagle the right dog for me if I have a small living space?

Beagles are adaptable and can thrive in a variety of living situations. They are moderately active indoors and can suit smaller living spaces as long as they get adequate daily exercise.

How often should I exercise my Beagle?

Beagles have a lot of energy and require daily physical activity to sustain their health and well-being. A minimum of an hour of exercise each day, including walks and play sessions, is recommended to keep them happy and healthy.
