Answer 2

My beagle is rather light framed and long legged. Came from a long line of hunting beagles....Runs and jumps like a deer. Take her to my sister's farm and she moves more of less continuously for hours on end. Incredibly athletic and super healthy. Easily to train, smart and very food motivated. Great house dog inside very cuddly(and not overly barky. Important to note that although they are dimunitive in size that they are a hunting dog and are driven to use their nose. If you have never had hunting dogs, probably not a good dog for you. You ruin their health by over feeding and lack of exercise and stimulation. Also not a good idea to be overly punitive with this breed and keeping them isolated for long periods of time. I you are an outdoorsy person who is active, the beagle may be the perfect companion dog.

Answer 3

I have seen my brother in law's beagles jump over a 4ft fence. But my beagle is lazy and wouldn't do that. His beagles run rabbits and they are pretty active, but mine is a house dog and she doesn't do much of anything.

Answer 4

Beagles are hounds so yes, they are pretty athletic as they would have to negotiate lots of obstacles whilst hunting.

Beagles are friendly and easy to train, they tend to chase cats/rabbits/etc and they are seriously greedy, but they are lovely dogs.

By the way, the answer below (lovin me) is describing a basset hound, not a beagle!

No, beagles are not high jumpers. They find it too hard to hold onto those poles. They do, however, make great endurance runners.

Answer 8

Male beagles who are not neutered will do anything to get out and roam. If they don't jump, they'll dig.

Answer 9
