Beagles are a small to medium-sized breed of dog known for their friendly and curious nature. They are energetic and require plenty of exercise and mental stimulation to prevent boredom and destructive behavior. Beagles are popular as family pets due to their affectionate and sociable personalities, as well as their adaptability to different living situations. They are also frequently used in hunting due to their excellent sense of smell and tracking abilities.

The Beagle has a short, dense coat that is easy to maintain. They shed moderately throughout the year and more heavily twice a year during seasonal changes. Regular brushing with a bristle brush can help distribute natural oils, promoting a healthy coat. Beagles also need occasional baths to keep their coat clean and fresh. Like all dogs, Beagles require regular nail trimming, ear cleaning, and dental care to maintain overall health and hygiene.
