Temperament and Behavior

Having been deemed as an excellent family companion, these dogs attach themselves to the owner following him around the house. Since they enjoy love and affection, these pets should not be kept isolated all day. They are the happiest when they stay close to their owners and share most of their daily activities with them. They will make everyone laugh with their mischievous and humorous behavior.

The curious Beaglemations are intrigued by things around them, which means they are always alert to the situation and do a great job as watchdogs. Because of their characteristic friendliness and keen interest for games, the Beaglemations make a good playmate for children. They also do well with other pets upon early socialization.

Care

Exercise

Being an energetic dog with a great ability to run and exercise, it needs long hours of daily activity. It should be taken on jogs and hikes, which will not only improve its overall fitness but also help prevent the development of behavioral problems. Always make sure that your pet is exercised either in a large secured area or on a leash when outside. With a proper combination of discipline, exercise, and training, a Beaglemation can become a skilled competitor in agility, flyball, and other canine sports.

Grooming

Keep your pet brushed every week using a medium-soft rubber brush. This will get all the loose hairs off your Beaglemation, keeping its coat in optimum condition. Frequently bathing your dog is not advisable, as it will make its skin dry and flaky. Trim its nails once a month to avoid cracking due to excessive growth. Infections caused by a buildup of dust and wax can be prevented by wiping its ears using a soft cotton ball moistened with a gentle ear-cleansing solution.

Health Problems

No specific health issues are known to affect this breed, but some dogs are prone to hereditary conditions including hip dysplasia, skin allergies, deafness, and formation of stones in the urinary tract. Therefore, take your pet to the vet’s office twice or thrice a year in order to get its health checks done.

Training

When it comes to training a Beaglemation, the owner should adopt a calm, persistent, and positive approach. Since the dog can be a bit headstrong at times, obedience training is necessary to turn the puppies into a well-mannered and manageable adult. Positive reinforcement including food rewards, treats, and praise are needed when training your pet for dog sports and competitions. Introduction to strangers, including kids, adults, and other pets, is a must for Beaglemation puppies.

Feeding

Limit your dog’s intake of foods such as organ meat that is dense in protein. Since undigested protein can accumulate and turn into small stones, offer your pet with plenty of fresh drinking water that will help flush the system. Feed the dog a fair amount of chewable treats as well as dry kibble to keep its teeth healthy. An adult Beaglemation’s diet should consist of two meals with the daily amount of dry food being 1.5-2 cups.
