Description
The Overview
Marvin is a stunning, 100% authentic working-breed Beagle. He is a happy, social, and incredibly affectionate boy who loves being around people. However, as a working hound, his energy levels are "off the charts." We have two young children (aged 2 and 5), and we’ve come to the realization that Marvin’s "work-hard, play-hard" nature is simply too much for a home with very small children.
Personality & Behavior
Wonderful with People: Marvin has a lovely temperament and has never shown a bit of aggression. He is perfectly safe and friendly with adults and children alike; he just doesn't realize his own size and strength when he’s excited!
The "Beagle" Brain: Marvin is highly intelligent but has typical hound "selective hearing." He listens well to his main handler but will test boundaries with others.
The Scent is King: He has zero recall. If he’s off-lead and catches a scent, he is on a mission. He must be kept on-lead or in a secure area.
House Manners: Marvin is still learning that human toys aren't dog toys and that the dinner table isn't a buffet. Because he is young and high-energy, he can be destructive if he hasn't had enough exercise.
What Marvin Needs
A "Dog-Savvy" Family: We aren't ruling out families with children, but they must be "dog-aware." Because Marvin is "in-your-face" and loves to steal snacks/toys, he would be best suited to a home with older, sturdier children who can handle a bouncy dog.
An Active Lifestyle: Marvin needs a "job." Whether that’s long hikes, scent-work games, or a large garden to zoom in, he needs a way to burn off his physical and mental steam.
Training Commitment: He’s a diamond in the rough. With a family who has the time and patience for consistent training (and perhaps a bit of "hound-proofing"), he will be an incredible companion.
Summary
Marvin is a "big personality" dog who is currently just too much for a household with toddlers. He isn't a "bad" dog—he’s just a high-performance dog living a low-gear life. He deserves a home where he can be the centre of attention and get the exercise his breed craves.
If you understand the quirks of the Beagle breed and are ready for a fun, energetic project, Marvin would love to meet you.
There is a rehoming fee of £250 to ensure a committed home.
