Dogs: Sheltie (Lassie dog) or Beagle?

Answer 1

beagle

Answer 2

A Lassie dog is a Collie not a Shetland Sheep Dog.
Beagles require a lot less maintenance as far as grooming and medical issues go.
Personally,I own a Beagle and I have groomed many Shelties and Collies.Collies and Shelties are nippy and whiny,they shed A LOT and will require DAILY BRUSHING,they get a disease that makes they're eyes sink into they're heads that only Collie and Shelties get.Most Beagle and hounds in general will Bawl and howl,but honestly my 13" Beagle is very quiet.And honestly Shelies and Collies are not known to be a quiet breed either.

I have NEVER had to medicate my beagle and my Grand Father bred and raised beagles and cockers for hunting and never had a problem training them or having to medicate them for any thing.Poor owners who do not understand their dogs psych and do not understand their instincts and minds are the ones who have to take the easy way out and medicate instead of solving the problem.And I have never had any ear issues with my dog.

Answer 3

I think sheltie, but my opinion is only based on the fact that I had a collieX growing up and that I was recently a foster mom to a beagle X.
so collies are super smart, but smaller ones (sheltie) could be yappier, and need more grooming then beagle.
the beagle I had shed alot and sometime they get infections in their ears (because they hang down more) and it can get smelly. The beagle I had did not bark at all which was nice, but I found that they are harder to walk because like any hound dog, once they pick up a scent they will follow it no matter where it takes them, so they are not great candidates for walking off the leash. The beagle was amazing with my toddler.
I think you need to do research, because I foster shelter animals and it has been my observation that there are a number of beagles up for adoption lately...why is that? it may be a reason that will affect your decision, or not. could just be that they have grown in popularity too.

Answer 4

shelties are the best and they are not (Lassie dogs) because they are not related to the collies I have owned 6 of them over the years. I now have number 5 and 6.

Answer 5

We have a beagle- he is 4 and is the smartest dog I have ever owned. He is well trained, easy to train, and fun. He loves kids and gets along with other animals really well.

The downside: he howls when we leave him. He is in a crate and has a shock collar on because he will howl the entire time we are away. He walks a mile a day, has a big yard, and a big house...but he is a pack dog and feels that we are abandoning him. We have tried medications for long periods in the crate.

This is his only downside. I have online friends who are also beagle owners and they have the same issues.

I would never get rid of him though...he is the sweetest and smartest dog I have ever owned- and I had a doberman and a Newfoundland in the past.

Whatever you get, good luck!!!
Check out the local shelters too, they have many dogs that are just wonderful...and in need of a home.

Answer 6

Sheltie

Answer 7

I love all dogs, but it depends on your living space if you are trying to decide which one to get. Beagles are great family pets but they don't do well with other animals unless they are raised together when young. They also have a tendency to suffer from separation anxiety. So if they are left along for long periods of time it's best to get two. They are also very lively, good with children, and they love to run and play so they need room to burn off all that energy

Shelties are great family dogs, extremely loyal, and very intelligent. They also need lots of exercise

My favorite out of the two would have to be the beagle. I'm sort of biased because my first dog was a beagle. My parents got him for me when I was 4 years old. He was my constant companion until he died 14 years later.

Answer 8

Shelties would have the long fluffy coat and need lots of activity. They are bred to herd so they will "round up" kids, animals, and their toys, sometimes (not very often) nipping at people's heels to get them in line.
Beagles are hunters, so they love to explore and examine. Their bark and bay can be annoying to some people--it was meant to alert the hunter to where the dog treed its prey so the sound carries for some distance. Smooth-coated and sturdy, they're ideal for small children.
You would need to research online, talk to owners, and then decide. We can only tell you what we know, but only you can decide. Good luck!

Answer 9

the suitable difficulty to do approximately laying off is daily BRUSHING. i'm not talking approximately 5 or 10 or maybe 15 minutes of brushing, even though it incredibly is extra perfect than not something, I recommend a minimum of half-hour an afternoon, and an hour an afternoon is extra perfect. you're able to try this at an identical time as you watch television or communicate on the hands-loose cellular telephone. A groomer can not probably do numerous weeks nicely worth of brushing in an hour or so on a unmarried day. The daily brushing is your accountability as a competent puppy proprietor. you would be surprised on the quantity of hair you do away with this way, and all the hair you sweep out is hair that isn't land on your carpet or furnishings. dogs like to be brushed and it incredibly is a great thank you to bond and spend time with a dogs. There are particular attachments made to hoover dogs with. those are purely sturdy if your dogs has no concern of the vacuum purifier. Shaving a dogs does not provide up it from laying off. all the lifeless hair will nonetheless would desire to be shed, somewhat at a time, earlier the hot hair can advance in. Shaved dogs look gruesome and it incredibly is a vogue of putting forward to the international, "i'm any such lazy and irresponsible puppy proprietor that i don't even brush my dogs!" All dogs pant and drink extra water in the hotter summer season months. grant a funky, shady place for the dogs to relax for the period of the warmth of the day and a great bowl of sparkling, sparkling water. people who stay in Hawaii and in the tropics have dogs, too, and purely people who don't comprehend any further perfect or have been conned with the aid of a speedy-talking groomer ever have them shaved. The dogs's coat is its protection from the solar and sunburn besides as its insulation from the warmth. Shaving your dogs purely around the neck or throughout is a stupid, pointless rate. there are a great form of groomers who will do it for you yet they are the two erroneous, cheating or basically after your money. and it won't provide up the laying off and it won't make your dogs sense cooler. evaluate this: who shaves the wolves, foxes, bears and coyotes? no one, of direction, because of the fact they don't like it.
