Beagles are a popular breed in Illinois given their smallish size, agreeable temperament, and low incidence of inherited health problems. This is a playful, energetic breed that is incredibly family friendly and will make a great addition to any Illinois family. Naturally curious and with a nose for tracking, a Beagle loves to explore. Indeed, Beagles are the perfect pet for individuals or families in Illinois that love spending time outdoors.
If you’re thinking of purchasing a Beagle puppy in Illinois, you should know that this breed comes in two sizes – standard and miniature – standing over 15 inches and under 13 inches tall, respectively. This small to medium sized dogs may look delicate but is actually quite sturdy and adapts well to apartment living in the city as well as country life. However, Beagles do need daily exercise to stay happy and out of trouble.
The Beagle’s coat, although short, is prone to shedding quite a bit and requires frequent brushing. But other than this, Beagles have minimal grooming needs and can therefore do great with busy Illinois families or individuals who don’t have a lot of time to spend on grooming their dog.
If you’re considering a Beagle puppy in Illinois, keep in mind that this breed has a tendency to bark or howl if left alone for long periods – this is something to keep in mind if you live in an apartment and don’ want grumpy neighbors. Also, Beagles tend to go running off chasing a scent because of their natural tendency to track, so you have to keep them carefully on a leash or in a fenced-in yard. Training a Beagle requires patience, because although intelligent, these dogs have a stubborn streak that can make obedience training slightly challenging.
