Yes, the Beagle is known for its howl; a type of bark that its hunting ancestors were known for. In fact, throughout the centuries, great care was taken to create a "perfect" hunting dog and that included one who could alert its masters from long distances.

Many dogs may resist having teeth cleaned; however with proper training you can have a Beagle who actually looks forward to this. grooming.  Grooming time with your Beagle can be a great way to bond with your canine family member.

It is a fact that dogs can die from dental disease that is left untreated. Some dogs, when finally brought to the vet for a dental cleaning , will have decay that is so bad their teeth need to be extracted.  Never believe that chewing on bones or hard dog treats will clean a dog's teeth properly.  It will be a combined effort between home care and professional dental cleaning that will keep your Beagle healthy.

Grooming

This breed has a double coat of fur, which classifies this dog as having a medium coat; although one would assume that the coat would be deemed short.  This is one reason why the Beagle sheds a bit more than single coated dogs.  Attention must  be paid to bathing with the correct shampoos to keep that fur healthy.  Paying attention to the dog’s nails , ears, anal glands and teeth is very important, as well. Although you will be spared some of the extra grooming that a long haired dog requires, you should still prepare to take time to ensure that proper grooming is done. This is not only so that your pet has a nice appearance, but also for health reasons.  See Grooming
