Beagles

[slippers]

Anyone had a Beagle or had friends that had a Beagle. Looking into getting a puppy and a Beagle is top of the list. Heard they are hard work?

[slippers]

Yeah iv heard they are quite hard to train and bark and howl a bit as pups!

They smoke cigarettes.

They smoke cigarettes.

 

Not them all. Daytripping beagle does, rocket beagle used to but seen the light, boof beagle never has (presumably, looking at it's hair fur).

 

Bring up a dog correctly and chances are it won't start smoking. I caught my Aberdeenshire Terrier with a 10 of JP No. 6 the other day though, the cunt.

They're moody cunts but look great in a flat cap.

[fatjim]

Dogs are cunts.

Get a Jack Russell, fantastic wee dogs.

[daytripping]

Daytripping beagle is a good few years younger than rocket beagle, if he stops in the future it will be at an earlier age than rocket did.

 

Getting back to the point, you don't want to get a beagle pup, nothing but trouble, what you really want is a well trained 6 year old Jack Russell. Funnily enough I have one going spare at the moment, free to a good home as well. PM me if interested.

I just said that!!

 

Tan one's called Leon especially.

Never had one but believe they are hard work. A tendency to fuck off on the scent of things due to their strong nose.

They have big ears if you want to cover them in the event of someone swearing in front of the dog.

Harcus, that was funny.

 

Another advantage is that they look depressed all the time so you can't but feel better about yourself: -

 

 

Imagine coming home after a shit day and seeing that depressed-looking cunt.

That's not a beagle.

Ohh, is that a Bassett? Whatever. My point has just been shot. I'll get over it.

The GF's family have a Beagle, such a stupid dog. They never had much bother with it when it was a pup a couple of years back but it's just not very fun. Won't play fetch and, as said above, just ignores you most of the time when you call it if it's off the lead.

[terenceandphilip]

they had a few good albums, but broke up after growing their hair long and wearing funny clothes

Beagles are mintal. Knew someone who had 2 of the things. Put me off ever owning one. Get a rescue staffie pup. Great wee dogs and there are loads of them.

[Nelly]

a work colleague of mine has 2. Says he learnt the hard way by just having one and it was a bit of a nightmare, with 2 they keep one another company and don't tend to bark or howl the same. Also said he was turned away from a dog training class as soon as the instructor saw the beagle, told him not to waste his money as they're pretty much untrainable.

[spamspamspam]

all dogs are hard work

 

8-16 years of hard work

 

Doesnt matter what sort of dog it is, treat it right, train it properly and you'll be fine.

 

If its your first get a bitch, easier to train, bit mellower and less likely to see anyone in the house as a challenge to its place in the pack.

If you get bored of the beagle, Millertime will be able to advise on throwing it into the Clyde in a sack.

[tightbreeks]

i like shar-pei dugs but i fear they will get scabby in the folds.

As its been said above, Beagles are very hard work and they don't just bark, they can howl but they are great dogs & very stubborn, however if they get a scent then you might as well not there!

 

Get a Dalmatian, but a male, as its far easier than the female, I know as I've got both and the female is attention seeking and very needy, whereas the male is chilled and relaxed!

Iraq min. I ken fuck all about dogs. We have an Aberdeenshire Terrier bitch, from a puppy, about 10 months old I guess. It's my first but the wife's folks had "scotty dogs" so she wanted one. What's your opinion/experiences of this breed?

 

I love it. Really great nature. Strong as fuck jaws. Great character. Loves kids and other dogs. Wants to play with our cats who were scared of it at first but don't even move now, but we keep them separated. I've never liked dogs but I love this bitch. Barks and jumps at the telly all the time if there's horses or other dogs or whatever the fuck on, but that's the only downside.

What?

 

Male Dalmatians are chilled and relaxed?

 

Known as one of the breeds that are extremely hard work. Males are always harder than females to deal with, the balls make sure of that. Dalmatians are also known for loosing confidence when chopped, catch 22. Do them and you can end up with a dog that is unsociable, will attack other dogs and bark at people when on a lead, dont and you can have a dog that does everything you can to be no 1 in the house.

 

They also dont settle down until 8 or 9.

 

Dalmatians are not a dog for first timers.

Wasn't there a lad who used to scoot around Aberdeen with a VW Beetle, all painted black and white like a Dalmatian, with a real Dalmatian hanging out the car window?

Beagles communicate everything they see, so they bark all the time. You can train them to just bark once, or yelp, but they bark ALL THE TIME.

Parents have one and I think he's a cracking dog. Really need to train them as pups to get them in shape though.

 

As has been said, no way can you walk them off the lead, their noses are so sensitive that they latch on to every smell and want to follow it.

 

Don't get the howling/barking thing people are saying. I look after him for a month while my parents go abroad and only time he's heard is if he wants in from the garden. He happily plays fetch, but doesn't get the concept of giving whatever you're using to fling back.

 

Like I say, train them as pups and they are great dogs.

[Jigot]

I've heard that they're great dogs but are quite mischievous too, nothing nasty though

My work mate telt me his Beagle opened the oven,put on a pair of oven gloves,removed a piping hot steak pie, before devouring the lot, with several slices of buttered bread. The Mutt then washed, dried then put away the dishes. The only clue as what happened to the Desperate Dan size pie was the rapturous farts that thundered from the wee dug's dung pipe for 12 hrs.

I cannae believe a dug could butter bread, likes.
