To Beagle or not to Beagle - that is the question you've probably decided if you are reading this! But owning a Beagle, or any pet, means never having an end to questions. When you are trying to select a Beagle puppy, you need to ask as many questions as you can BEFORE you fall in love with the pup. In this way, you can be sure the puppy is healthy, sane and that you are compatible with Beagle behavior.
A great Beagle breeder will be happy to answer all of your questions as best they can. That way they know your chances of having to give up the dog are slim. As much as you want to know if their puppies are good enough for you, great Beagle breeders want to know if you are good enough for their puppies! Don't be afraid to ask any question about breeder licenses, their show record or to see health certificates for Mom and Dad Beagle.
When you contact the Beagle breeder, there is vital Beagle information you need to have them answer you. First off, why should you buy a puppy from them? What is so special about their Beagle puppies that make them worth thousands (or however much they are selling for)? A good Beagle breeder is used to these questions and will answer them to your satisfaction.
Perhaps the pups are not even born yet, and then they won't be ready to be weaned until they are two months old. They should have their first shots and first wormings paid for by the breeder.
Great Beagle breeders will give you an extensive health guarantee, in writing (yes - you need a contract!) about the health of the puppy they are selling. It is illegal for them to misrepresent the health of any puppy they sell. But great Beagle breeders will not stop at just health - they will also socialize the pup, let the pup know what a house and home living is like and will even start housetraining them.
No Beagle information question is off limits - ask to see the parents and to have a tour about the kennels. You need an appointment for this, because kennels are usually on or in people's homes. Get to know the parents a bit as personality and social traits are passed to offspring. If you are not sure, ask the Beagle breeder about Beagle grooming, feeding and what toys they prefer.
An ethical breeder will also let you visit, pet and play with the parents, so you know what personalities they are. Always visit the actual breeder's kennel before agreeing to a pup. No ethical breeder will have dead dogs on the property, keep their dogs in stacked crates, or stink to high heaven.
The best Beagle breeders should also be a good source of Beagle information if you should have questions months down the line.
