Is the beagle I adopted full blooded or a mix?

I looked up pocket beagles, and she fits the description, except for her size. She's much bigger than they are. Her eyes are also more buggy that pleading. Everything about the seperation anxiety and everything though is totally true. I even had to take her in the bathroom with me last night while I was taking a shower, and she would wine when she couldn't see me for the curtain.

Sophie definatly fits her, and after a day of calling her by it, she already recognises its her name. I would have never thought of Sophie, thanks for posting it.

We have 2 full blood beagles, a male and a female, and she looks full to me.

As far as her not playing with toys, it took our boy (who was trained to be a hunting dog) quite a while to learn what toys were and what you are supposed to do with them.

Our female...just give her a treat, and she'll do anything!!

Your girl is adorable!! Good luck with her!! (She may have been used as a hunter)

How much is a normal weight for beagles? She weighs 21 pounds, and when you run your hand down her sides you can feel her ribs pretty prominent.

 

[zatsdeb]

our beagles are 34 lbs and are a little on the heavy side for their height, our female is about 28 lbs.

Our male is 38-40 and our female is 20-21. Both at 2 years of age.

looks full blooded to me. The snout is shorter than the idea beagle but the rest is all normal. Especially the white tip on the tail. That's so you can see them in tall grass. My Dad raised them and my Grandparents always had one on their farm. Nothing like the brooooo brooooo of beagles when they get a scent of a rabbit or deer. They do best outside but can be made into house pets. This works best if you have a dog park you can take them to regularly for excersize. And good job rescuing a pup. They will love you forever for saving her. I have a beagle mix I adopted in May named Frankenstein. He watches over the chickens.

My mom was dead set against any more dogs, because we have three and one's in a wheelchair, but this one was special and when I called her she could see that it meant a lot to me. I don't think anyone else would have adopted this dog. She doesn't have the ideal beagle color, she's shy, and she's just not that bouncing beautiful dog you always want. She knows what I've done for her, and she does appreciate it. She never wants to leave my lap, and she is constantly by my side.

She will eventually by an outside dog. We have to fix her a pen, but we're keeping her in for now due to her being scared and wary still, and because she just had surgery.

She's the best dog I've ever had. I got out an old toy I forget we had, a blue plush bone that squeaks, and she actually played with it! I would throw it, and she went and got it and dropped it back in my hand every time. I've NEVER had a dog that would do that! She walks right by my side and never pulls, no matter what she sees or smells. She is afraid of cats, but other than that she's oblivious to all our other critters.​

Okay, here's my newest question. When I got her, someone had named her Birdie. The name didn't fit her and she didn't respond to it, so I changed it. Do I need to go and get a new pet license with Sophie on it, because the one they gave us says Birdie? Also, its like that on the adoption contract. Does that matter?

Oh, and are beagles usually protective of their owners? I'd like to take her to the park and walk her by the lake when she recovers from surgery and gets settled in, but 90% of this little town is either mentally insane or on drugs. Even with a friend, I would be scared to walk her on the paths, or even away from the main playground. If it depends on the dog, how do I test her to see if she will or won't?
