Beagle ‘s Developmental Origins

According to legend, the Migru has a deep connection with the British royal family, around the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, when Britain was in the midst of a hunting trend. The British royal family raised many famous dogs to match the royal hunting trips, and the short and compact Migru was trained to specialize in hunting small prey, and among the small prey, rabbits were the most sensitive and precious, so rabbits were often the important object of the Migru’s hunting. Because of the amazing results of hunting rabbits, the Miglu was named “rabbit killer”, and over time it became known as the Miglu Rabbit Hound. As the hunting trend faded, the Migros began to transform into a family dog. The active Miglu was not very popular at the beginning of becoming a family dog because it was too active and difficult to be tamed, but with the help of professional dog trainers and veterinarians, it gradually adapted to human family life and finally became a part of the family dog. The American Migrue Club and the American Kennel Club have made a rough assessment that there are about 100,000 Migrudes in the world, and they are active as lively and lovable family dogs all over the world.

People say that Beagles are smart because they have a good understanding and are able to be trained well, and you can’t feel how smart they are without careful training. Daily training of Beagles is very important, especially when they are young, as they are very naughty and destructive. As long as through the scientific domestication, Beagle can be trained as an adult to be at home without destroying any objects, without barking more than one time for no reason, in addition to not being able to speak like a child obedient dog, so parents must adhere to, do not give up.

Beagle Identification Selection

To prevent Beagles from developing body odor, parental care is of utmost importance. The breeding must be timely for the dog to bathe and clean, in addition to daily combing and cleaning is also a must. Although the Beagle’s hair is short, daily combing can effectively clean the dust and dirt on the dog’s hair, keep the hair clean and healthy, and can also properly alleviate the Beagle’s body odor. When bathing the Beagle, you should choose to use the appropriate pet body wash, and during the cleaning process, parents should use both hands to gently rub the dog’s body, and thoroughly clean the neck, chest, abdomen, toe nails and other parts of the body. After the rubbing is completed, the dog’s body should be thoroughly cleaned with water, and then the wet fur should be dried using a hair dryer. One thing to note here is that the final step for parents is to also trim the hair on the toenail area of the Beagle. The bottom of the feet, toenails at the slender hair cut short, to ensure that the Beagle’s feet hygiene, to avoid the reproduction of bacterial parasites and jeopardize the Beagle’s health, and more so, make it produce body odor. In life, many dogs have their own weaknesses, the following I told you Beagle most afraid of things. 1. Sound Beagles have a keen sense of hearing. But for sudden larger sounds, such as lightning and thunder, airplane roar, firecrackers, etc., some Beagles will show a sense of fear. Such as clamping the tail to escape to a safe place, drilling into the house or shrinking the neck to drill into a narrow place; and then the food is not interested or even refused to eat, even if the reproach is ineffective. And as long as the sound persists, the Beagle’s mood can not be stabilized, and the dog’s owner’s comfort will not have much effect. The Beagle’s organism will also undergo a series of changes, such as accelerated breathing, trembling of the whole body, accelerated pulse and increased body temperature. Female Beagles shortly after giving birth may also experience the tragedy of eating their litter. 2. Light and fire Many Beagles have a fear of flash and fire. Such as fireworks, searchlights, and even smoking matches lit for a moment, will make the Beagle scared, with the same fear of sound, is a natural phenomenon of the Beagle’s instinctive vigilance. But with the sound is different, when the light, fire in the Beagle’s territory, it will be careful around the barking, so there are many Beagle fire alarm stories. Some Beagles also hate fireworks and will stomp out cigarette butts discarded on the ground. Enhanced training in these behaviors can be a very useful skill for Beagles guarding warehouses. 3. Death Beagles have a strong fear of death. This is mainly in relation to the death of their own kind. Beagle after the death of the odor, the living Beagle has a strong horror of the stimulus, even if the usual most intimate Beagle partner and its offspring do not dare to approach, showing hair shrugged, step back, trembling expression of fear. Some Beagles also show fear of leather odor, that is, made of leather footwear also feel nasty, may be the leather on the residual odor of other animals. Sometimes the Beagle’s fear is caused by its difficult to understand the phenomenon. Such as no life breath but the life form of the specimen, can send out the sound of birds and animals and will move the toys, no one in the wind when the door, open umbrella, etc., are difficult to understand the Beagle and feel creepy. The Beagle is the famous Migrue Hound, and they are very curious and easily tempted by the slightest sound. Beagles can also be aggressive when they are agitated and angry. Parents should not panic if they are bitten by a Beagle; calm and steady handling is essential. Generally speaking, Beagles will not bite people for no reason, but “rabbits bite when they are in a hurry”, so when a Beagle bites someone on impulse, timely diagnosis and treatment is still needed. For parents, should be accurate and serious about the Beagle bite this thing. Life Beagle intelligent easy to accept the training, as long as parents can correctly and reasonably treat it, the bite thing is completely avoidable. For this reason, to avoid Beagle biting, parents still need to be like enough effort. Whether it is the cultivation of character or habits and attitudes to life training, parents should seriously face, so that the Beagle becomes mature and understanding, to avoid biting incidents. Simply put. Many families keep Beagles are relatively healthy and hygienic, as long as the regular vaccines, internal and external deworming, generally there is no problem, if it is a wandering outside the Beagle bite should be immediately sent to the hospital, injection of rabies vaccine, with the later treatment.
