What to Look for When Buying a Beagle Puppy
When you are planning to buy a beagle puppy, there are several things that you need to take into consideration. The following tips will help you choose the right beagle puppy for your family. It should come as no surprise that tip #1 is to choose the right breeder.
- Choose a reputable breeder. This is probably the most important factor in choosing a healthy beagle puppy. A good breeder will have healthy, well-socialized puppies that have been raised in a clean and loving environment. Avoid breeders who keep their dogs in cramped and dirty conditions. Also, avoid breeders who seem more interested in making a quick sale than in finding good homes for their puppies.
- Choose a puppy that has been properly socialized. Beagles are social animals and do best when they are around people. A good breeder will have exposed their puppies to a variety of people, animals, and situations so that they are well-socialized and not afraid of new experiences. Avoid puppies that seem timid or scared.
- Choose a healthy puppy. Be sure to ask the breeder about the health of the parents and grandparents of the puppy you are interested in. Beagles are generally healthy dogs, but there are some health conditions that are more common in the breed, such as hip dysplasia and epilepsy. A reputable breeder will be able to provide you with information about the health of the puppies’ parents and grandparents.
- Consider the size of the beagle you want. Beagles come in two size varieties, standard, and miniature. Standard beagles are between 13 and 16 inches tall at the shoulder, while miniature beagles are under 13 inches tall. There is no difference in personality between the two sizes, so it is simply a matter of personal preference.
- Choose a puppy with a good temperament. Beagles are known for their happy-go-lucky personalities, but there can be some variations from one dog to the next. When choosing a puppy, look for one that is friendly and outgoing. Avoid puppies that seem overly shy or aggressive.
Make sure to consider your family’s lifestyle when picking a puppy. If you do the proper research, you should have no problem finding the perfect beagle puppy for your family!
Questions to Ask Your Beagle Breeder
- How long have you been breeding beagles?
- Do you have any other breeds that you work with?
- What health problems are common in the parents and grandparents of the puppies?
- How have the puppies been socialized?
- What size will the puppy be when fully grown?

When you visit the breeder, pay attention to how the dogs are kept. Are they in clean, spacious kennels or cages? Do they seem to have plenty of toys and exercise equipment? Are the dogs well-groomed and healthy-looking? These are all good signs that you’ve found a responsible breeder.
Once you’ve chosen a breeder, it’s time to meet the puppies! Be sure to spend some time playing with each one to get a feel for their individual personalities.
