How to choose a Beagle? Master these key points
(1) Before buying, you can visit a home that keeps Beagles to get a general understanding of this dog's appearance, habits and characteristics, so that you have a standard for comparison when choosing and avoid the mistake of rejecting the good and picking the poor.
(2) You should also read some materials introducing this dog to add some rational knowledge, so that you can be more proficient when choosing, ensure that every part of the dog you select conforms to the characteristics it should have, and obtain an ideal and satisfactory breed.
(3) First, height and weight must meet the standard; too large or too small is not suitable. If the chosen dog is not yet old enough in days and has not fully developed, the requirements for height and weight can be moderately relaxed.
(4) The body shape of each part should be checked one by one. The Beagle's skull should be approximately elongated-ovoid, with moderate length and width, the back of the head slightly rounded, and the occiput relatively broad.
(5) The muzzle should be relatively straight, the nostrils broad with a keen sense of smell, and the nose tip black. The teeth should bite well, with a scissors bite.
(6) The eyes should be relatively large, the distance between the two eyes should be relatively wide, the gaze should be relatively gentle, and the eyeballs should be dark black or tawny.
(7) The ears should be both long and large, hanging down to below the mouth, and closely against both cheeks.
(8) The neck is moderate in length, with slight wrinkles at the brow, some folds on the neck, a deep and broad chest, a short back, sloping shoulders, and well-developed and strong muscles.
(9) The limbs should be relatively short and small, with the front limbs sturdy and the hind limbs large, and the leg muscles very well developed. The feet are round, with full and hard pads.
(10) The tail is both thick and long, a firm, upward-curving sabre tail, often held high. The tip of the tail has white or pale yellow hair and wags flexibly.
(11) There are two types of coat: one type has smooth and fine dense hair; the other type has coarse hair. The coat color should be white, blue-yellow, black-yellow, or a mixed tricolor.
(12) If the limb bones are slender, the neck thick and short, the head square, the muzzle short, the tail short, the ears small, etc., none of these conform to the dog's characteristics and should not be selected. (13) After the deal is made, you should ask the seller for a transfer certificate signed by both parties, a pedigree certificate, a vaccination certificate, and the 7-14 day health and safety guarantee that should be issued according to regulations, etc.
