Beagle Breed: Care
Despite the fact that the beagle's hair is short and smooth, they also need thorough grooming. If the beagle is preparing for the exhibition, it is carried out not only the cleaning of the wool, but also the haircut.
Special attention for beagles requires care for the ears, eyes and paws. Teaching a dog dental care is necessary from the very childhood, especially since representatives of this breed all grasp on the fly.
The ears of the beagle are low and hang, covering the auditory canal, which is why its ventilation is difficult. Therefore, the ears of the beagles must be inspected regularly and must be cleaned. Healthy ears should not be cleaned with hydrogen peroxide, it is better to use saline solution. A healthy dog may have a small amount of secretion from the ears, the so-called earwax, but there should be no discharge from the eyes. Only after a dream can there be small translucent lumps in the corners of the eyes.
Let the pet get used to cleaning teeth, ears, clipping hair, being a puppy, then the adult beagle will be very careful and will never resist hygienic procedures.

But to handle the beagle it is necessary only as with the partner, on equal footing. Show him his credibility will be quite difficult, because dogs of this breed have a mind and their perception of the environment, in which the person is not at all the place of the deity. One day a person may notice that he does not command a dog, but she manipulates it. To prevent this from happening, you need to study the beagle from the very childhood, to conduct intensive, but short (10-15 minutes) training and classes.

The most common diseases among beagles are diseases of the eyes, ears, joints. To engage in self-treatment of beagles is categorically contraindicated - these dogs need a qualified specialist. But it is possible to prevent the development of many diseases if the beagle is vaccinated in time.
