PUPPIES

The puppies above are our current litter, just 1 available at this time ........... please e-mail for names of reputable breeders in your area or contact one of the Beagle clubs in the UK to check and see if the breeder you are buying from is one they would recommend.

************

Please ensure that the breeder of your darling Beagle puppy follows the Kennel Club guidelines in that:

No puppy/puppies should be sold until at least 8 weeks old. *If the 'breeder' states the puppy is KC registered then see below for pictures of what the registration looks like. If you do not get this paperwork then you cannot transfer the puppy into your name and you are basically buying a mutt.*

Mother/Dam must be *well* over one year old before she is mated.

Dam must not have any more than six litters by the time she is 8 years old and must not be bred from after age of eight.

All Puppies should be vaccinated by a qualified veterinary surgeon (as required by the Veterinary Medicines Directorate) and wormed and sold healthy. Also Receipts/proof of purchase to be given at time of sale.

All breeds should ideally be Hip scored, eye tested before breeding where necessary (depending on individual breed type) and insured if possible.

When purchasing a puppy try and see the puppy's parents on site where possible and check out the general conditions. *You should ALWAYS see the mother, do not agree to meet the 'breeder' halfway to collect your pup unless you have seen the dam - you don't know what you might be buying and some puppy farmers sound so nice on the telephone!*

If in doubt always have prospective new puppy vet checked before you buy. *If you have any doubts then please do not buy, you may just be helping to keep a puppy farmer in business. Most reputable breeders will have 'golden oldies' lounging around the place - if they have around 14 or more very young breeding Beagles and do not attend dog shows then they are breeding purely for profit with no real love of the breed.* Check how many years they have owned, loved and researched this breed before having litters - what research did they do into pedigree's and how much do they know or care about their health!

Adding a puppy to the family is a
very serious decision.
 

Do NOT get a puppy if:
 

1. You are busy running the kids to
practice and events and
appointments, or have many social
engagements, or are seldom home
for whatever reason. Beagle puppies need lots of company.
 

2. You do not have a sense of humour!

 

3. You have a very set expectation
about what a puppy should act like,
or what he should be like when
grown.
 

4. You are intolerant of messes or
destruction to a certain degree.
 

5. Anyone in the family does not
want a puppy/dog.
 

6. You are not able to be the
leader and teach the puppy to
follow the rules of the household. It is very important to be the 'top dog' and not let puppy rule the roost.
 
 
7. You value orderliness in your
household and having muddy paws
or shedding hair or teeth marks will
bother you a great deal.
 

8. You are not willing to work
through the problems, and spend
time training and just loving your
dog.
