Beagle Breed Information

Beagles 2010 Wall Calendar
Often recognized as the "Snoopy" dog,” Beagles
have soft, sad eyes. But these are not by any means sad or pouting dogs. In
fact, for a long time these hounds lived in packs, so it is natural that they
would want to be with people and other dogs. They have extremely warm
personalities, and a special affection for children. Gentle, lovable, clever,
and “nosey”—or curious, rather—they make great companions for any dog
lover. Display your devotion to these kind-hearted dogs with this 2006 Beagles
wall calendar.
