Where did I actually came from?






Our history can be traced back to Ancient Greece, around the 5th century BC. Before we, the real Beagles came, there were other types that looked a like. Beagle-type dogs were known as Glove Beagles because they were small enough to fit on a glove, and Queen Elizabeth I kept a breed known as a Pocket Beagle. Anyhow, these genetic lines are not common or used anymore.  First modern Beagle pack is believed to be formed in 1830s. However, in the 1840s, a standard Beagle type was beginning to develop and spread. A long time we were used as hunting dogs only in the United Kingdom. American Kennel Club accepted the Beagle as a breed in 1885. When the 20th century came, the breed started spreading worldwide and a lot of people love us due our cuteness and size. 





Another interesting fact is that in the 1850s, people started to try cross-breeding. The most popular has been mixing the Beagle with the Pug = Puggle. Puggle needs less movement and they are good for city life.

Night at the hospital

  These last days have been hard for me. I spent my night at the hospital and it turns out I have a bone pice in my tummy. At first they took blood samples but I did not want to stay there and give it so I made half of the doctors table bloody. Didn't work though and they still took what they needed. I tried to escape Xray table too so in the end there was 3 people holding me against the table. Awful!!!  I also did not like to sleep there IN THE CAGE but the medicine they gave me made me feel less pain and my inflammation markers went down too. I am sure they were planning to keep me there for one more night but my people came to rescue me. We even got to go for a long walk and after one more Xray I could go home. I can sleep at my place again :) I still have one more Xray in the morning but I don't think they will make a surgery because already today the pice was smaller. I really need to be fine tomorrow because I am organizing a party on Saturday and I am not going to mi...

Do Beagles like water?

Made by Irene Ranneva When I was little I hated water, even small shower was total pain. I always thought it is a punishment. but after half a year I started to tolerate it. I don't enjoy it but I realised the less I struggle the faster the whole circus is over. Made by Irene Ranneva After the shower I head right for the nearest sofa and roll like mad. I think my mum is not that big of a fan when I make the whole sofa wet but she started it. I don't think I need a shower at all but she seems to wash me every time after rainy walks or muddy digging. The weirdest time was when I rolled in a liquid poop and she was washing me 5x in a row. Sometimes it is so hard to understand her.. At least a  nice snack follows this procedure and these things I like, so I think we have found a half compromise.  Made by Irene Ranneva Even though I don't like taking showers that much I love the sea. Although, most beagles really don’t like water and are...
