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.
