It’s with a heavy heart that we need to find 19 month old Buddy a new loving home.
Buddy has had a slightly unsettled start and we are only in this position due to health changes.
As a family we had beagles and many dogs over the years so we did not rescue Buddy on a whim.
His story. We were told he was was a puppy of a family dog up north, re homed with a couple for 9 weeks, sadly they separated and were not able to care for him, they re homed him without informing the original owner. He ended up with a couple for 5 days when he was 5 months old being crated for 10 hours per day, and on his own.
Strangely he was not happy with this and he was reunited with the original owner.
We thought long and hard before taking him on as we know beagles and their fantastic mischief. I work 30 hours a week so when I was at work my then fit and healthy mum was his other mum so he was never alone. Sadly with health changes he is too energetic for mum and he actually pulled her over. As we get frailer the risk and complications of injury can be life changing so we have taken the sad decision to find him a lovely home. I work shift work so we could find no other acceptable alternative.
Buddy is an absolutely typical beagle, he needs lots of exercise, he gets walked multiple times a day and does on average about 5 miles per day, including in spaces he can run safety.
He is a beagle so there is a risk of poor recall or escaping especially if he has found a scent trail. I use a long lead a lot which means he can run, but not escape.
Toileting, he is house trained and has no accidents. However Even though we have a garden he is a little weird and prefers to Pooh after or during at least a short walk, if you have a particularly large garden where he can run around and play this helps, but we consciously check he has had an evening pooh and wees as he then sleeps soundly for 8 hours.
Sleep, yes he sleeps on our beds, sorry but he has always settled better as he is a pack animal. He has never slept in a crate over night for the past year he has been with us, so if that is what you would potentially do then he is not for you, unless he would sleep with another dog. If he is unsettled he probably needs a Pooh.
Other dogs, he is fantastic with bitches and neutered males, he loves to play and spends a lot of time with a family Labrador bitch and adores her.
He is not great with intact male dogs and he is himself intact. He needs to be on a lead near intact males as they seems to attract their attention. We were going to get him neutered in the next few months but that would be your choice.
Children, he is fabulous with older children, however he has not been around young kids, mine was 10 when we got him. He is likely to knock a small child over as he can jump up when excited.
Chewing, he has lots of strong toys as he will steel and eat your shoes, loves a remote control, glasses, mobile phone or anything you have left in his reach.
We do not leave any thing on the edge of a table or kitchen bench especially if food as beagles are brilliant at getting hold of it and very food focused.
Your food. He will steal food if not supervised so you need to be disciplined, no toxic foods left out etc.
Home alone. Buddy is rarely left alone at home , when he is, he is in a large crate and for no long than 1-2 hours, if you leave him in a room, your will have chewed objects or worse so do so at your own risk.
He will howl a little when left in the crate but settles , we leave tv or radio on. but if you have neighbours that are close by unless they are hard of hearing they may not be impressed.
Beagles howl and will bark for your attention so this is not a dog if you want peace or risk of upsetting your neighbours.
Kennels, Buddy has been for day care only and he loves it. He would hate being overnight this is not for him.
for holidays etc he would need a live in dog sitter, home care etc.
Temperament is so lovely, but he is a mischievous boys, needs to play, and is still slightly rough when he plays as he is still a teenager.
Loud noises, get distressed if on a walk in firework season, we tend to take him for a short stroll late when it’s all gone quiet, again todo his business, unless as mentioned you have a large garden.
Food, he has good quality mix of dried and wet. Often some chicken and rice, raw eggs etc, carrots for treats. He can get an upset tummy if rich food given as can we all.
Health, no issues so far, all vaccinations up to date, due august 2026. He has double dew claws on he hind feet, vet had no issues, just need to keep an eye on claw left, and they occasionally get caught so you need to keep and eye. He is intact.
Car. He is crated in the car, good at travelling. I tend to take him for a good long walk or good run around and he will happily settle in car crate in obviously well ventilated car for an hour whilst I do food shop etc.
Buddy is not for you if:
You are away from, home more than an hour or 2.
If you cannot walk or exercise him well every day.
If you are not able to keep valuable items or food out of reach, we can’t punish a dog for things we have for temptation.
You are impatient.
Not prepared to wait whilst he sniffs every inch on a walk, he is a hound at work.
He is for you if:
You are fit, active, love a good long daily walks or have a large garden and will interact and exercise him with play.
I think a good scenario would be an active, retired couple who love dogs, with good garden.
You love a dog cuddle
You happy to share a bed
You are prepared for a challenge.
You are disciplined at putting things out of reach
Ultimately Buddy is an incredible dog but he is not for a lazy, inexperienced dog owner
please be honest with your intentions if you are interested he is not a handbag dog and we know there is always a risk of poor treatment when a owner cannot cope.
