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.

How puppies are made?

I haven't written anything almost a year now but my life has changed a lot and I just have to let the world know. I am a mum now. I have 4 pretty puppies. 2 boys and 2 girls. As my humans call them: Välk; Täiskrae; Poolkrae and Stringi. Names come from the signs they have on their necks. Anyway lets start from the beginning. Me & Benji, our mating took place between 4th and 6th March 2017 but the first test run we did already on the 2nd March - didn't work at the first time though. Our babies saw the daylight on the 60th day of my pregnancy, 5th of May, which was also my human's birthday, but the counting of days may not be accurate because the actual mating and gestation can differ up to seven days. During heat time first week is the week when nobody can come near me. I am relatively defensive at every possible dog in the whole world. Mating, however, is perfect, starting from the ninth day, then female dogs turn their tales aside and are ready for mat...

Details about my labor

My labor lasted 36h in total. I know they say it is between 4-24h but I wanted to be legendary! 4th of May I started panting and I constantly moved a round the house because I felt uncomfortable. My human slept with me in the living room because she thought it will happen at night time. Guess what?! I did not think so. 5th of May morning I wanted to make a nest in the basement because there is a lovely part with sand that I enjoy so I felt like this could be a perfect fit for me. My human did not think so, I still wonder why?! Well okay, I understand they handmade me my maturity station and it would have been nice to deliver puppies there. So in the end I did it only for them you know. Another thing people say is that during labor there should be something easy to clean under the dog but seriously I am a lady and I am not going to sit on some plastic bag or something else. I needed my comfy blanket there with me. Luckily my human often understands me. During the morning time I e...
