Answer 1

beagles don't age well


and don't get a dog that if you are going to make it live outside... that's not very nice! if you want an animal that lives outside.. get a cow!


EDIT: I don't see the point of having an outside dog. You do not even sound mature enough to have a dog, judging by your lack of spelling skills and grammar skill, and the fact that your name as "13" in it, maybe you should start out with a hamster


just don't leave that outside

actually don't even get a hamster... start out with a stapler... see if that survives

Answer 2

A beagle would be fine. They do have genetic problems though as all dogs do. I keep mine inside but I know lots of people that keep theirs outside through winter (I live in western PA so our winters are similar). But they do bark a lot so if you don't live in the country you might want to find another breed.

P.S. Ignore the self-righteous who forget that dogs are animals and don't have to be babied 24 hours a day.

Answer 3

WOW plenty of questions! I'll take on the primary one. And it could support to understand how historic he's.:) a million -You could must get him checked by means of the vet. If he has a urinary tract illness then he may not be capable to support it and all teh coaching and strategies on the earth may not difference a factor. two -Lose the pee pads. This is a certain fireplace strategy to CONFUSE your puppy given that what they gain knowledge of is that it's okay to pee within. They don't udnerstand that there's whatever magical approximately the pee pads that makes it adequate. three - Take him open air ordinarily so he has the risk to pee external. When he does, compliment him in a completely happy voice and possibly even deliver him a deal with. If you'll be able to take the paper / throw rug / some thing that he peed on within the condo and placed it in which you desire him to move external that allows you to move a ways in educating him to move open air. four - Do now not go away him unsupervised within the condo. Keep a watch on him perpetually and in the event you see him sniffing like he's approximately to "move" get him external. Play with him a bit of too, or else he'll get the concept that he's being punished for peeing and / or peeing external and that it the final factor you desire. five - Never ever scold him for peeing interior. If you do all that allows you to occur is he'll work out it is a dangerous concept so that you can see him peeing after which he may not pee open air while you move on walks. He'll additionally get well at being sneaky approximately peeing interior so he can prevent the punishment. 6 - Be sufferer. Now that he has the dangerous dependancy, exchanging it may not occur in a single day. Dogs do not abruptly "get it" after which act ideal. Instead what is going to occur is that there will likely be fewer and less injuries and he's going to get it correct increasingly ordinarily till eventually he's going to be housebroken. It would take approximately 2 months. Be sufferer and constant and well success!

Answer 4

I would get an Akita, they are kind of like a lab, so they have a thicker coat for the winter, but they are a little smaller, plus they don't bark, which can be great if you don't like your dog barking.

P.S. Its ok for you to have an outside dog even in Ohio, as long as your responsible, (like you sound) and bring it in if it gets too cold outside, and there is nothing wrong with getting another dog because one died, it does help, as long as you don't keep comparing the new one with the old one by saying stuff like, Cliff used to do this better, Cliff used to do that better (which you don't sound like that type of person)



and no I didn't say any of this to suck up to get "Best Answer",

Answer 5

A beagle will bnot be able to live outside during the winter. They are a smooth-coated breed. Also every breed has some genetic problems. Beagles are prone to epilepsy.

What's the point of even having a dog if you just leave it outside all the time?

Answer 6

Leaving a dog outside all depends on how cold it gets there in the winter. And even though the dog is outside all day it should still get at least one walk a day 2 walks would be better. If the winters get cold you need a dog with a thick coat. Labs, golden retrievers, and huskies always do good outside but they are big dogs. I don't know of any small dogs that are known for staying outside in the cold.

Answer 7

It may not cause too much of a problem, but if your dog will be an outdoor dog, get a dog that can grow a lot of hair to protect it from the weather, like a Husky. Your best bet may be a bigger dog, since there aren't that many health problems, especially not with mixed breeds and since bigger dogs can defend and care for themselves better. But you could go to your nearby shelter to find one. There are many that need good homes in those shelters, not just puppies.

Answer 8

Why would you want a dog to just throw outside? All short hair breeds are going to need to come inside for the harsh winters in Ohio.

No genetic problems....you are looking to buy a dog that will live outside. I am betting you are going to get it from a back yard breeder, so it will be inbreed and have a crap load of problems.

Maybe you should reconsider why you are looking for a dog.

Answer 9

My Dad used to breed beagles. They bark A LOT and don't like being indoors a whole lot.
Personally, if you're planning on leaving a dog outside in the winter, in my opinion, you don't deserve a dog.
Look into the cat breed of the Bengal. They're cats but nonallergenic, they look cool but aren't antisocial the way cats are. They behave very much like dogs, they fetch, they talk to you,but they can be left alone inside like a regular cat.

Answer 10

Why would you want to get a rebound dog? I don't really understand your question... I live in Ohio and I would NEVER just keep a dog outside espeically in Ohio winter... Wierner dogs are very prone to hip dysplasia(sp) especially if they are overweight there short legs and spine can't handle the weight.. . Most dogs have some sort of genetic issues... Maybe you shouldn't own another dog, if you don't want to take care of one.... Beagles are annoying and are prone to eye infections, ear infections and they have a really annoying bark and bark at eveything....
