*Every child is unique, and individual differences may apply.

01｜Why Are They Called “Beagles”?

Beagles have a long history as hunting dogs, originally working alongside people to track the scent of animals such as rabbits.

The dogs that eventually developed into the modern Beagle were established in England and became well known as scent hounds that worked in packs to follow trails.

There are several theories about where the name “Beagle” came from, and its exact origin remains uncertain.

They may be small in size, but they have always been incredibly hardworking dogs.

So when your Beagle seems to be saying,

“I’m not done walking yet!”
“I want to check out this smell too!”

during your daily walk, perhaps you’re seeing a little glimpse of that history 😂

02｜The Secret Behind the Beagle’s Amazing Nose

One thing you simply can’t talk about Beagles without mentioning is their incredible sense of smell.

Because they were bred to follow scents left on the ground, Beagles often spend their walks sniffing, sniffing… and sniffing some more.

Once they discover an interesting scent, they may become completely absorbed in it 😂

But for a Beagle, sniffing is an important way of gathering information about the world around them.

Thanks to this remarkable ability, some Beagles also work as detection dogs at airports and quarantine facilities.

They’re not just adorable.

There’s an incredible ability hidden inside that compact little body 🐶👃

03｜What Is a Beagle’s Personality Like?

Beagles are often described as:

・Active
・Cheerful
・Curious
・Friendly
・Playful
・Very fond of food

On the other hand, when they become absorbed in an interesting scent, you may find yourself wondering,

“Can you even hear me? 😂”

They can become incredibly focused.

Beagles are also known for their distinctive voices and may let out a long, resonant “Awooooo!”

Their personalities aren’t the only thing full of character — their voices are too.

Of course, every Beagle has their own personality.

Rather than thinking,

“They’re a Beagle, so they must be like this,”

it’s important to ask,

“What kind of personality does my child have?” 💛

04｜What Do Beagles Enjoy?

Activities that allow Beagles to use their talented noses are especially recommended 🐶🤎

👃 Nose Work
Hide treats or toys and let them search for them using their sense of smell.

🌿 Exploratory Walks
Giving them time to slowly sniff interesting scents during walks can be just as important as the physical exercise itself.

🎾 Playing Together
Games such as tug-of-war and playing with toys can be lots of fun too.

🧠 Activities That Use Their Brain
Puzzle toys and food puzzles are another great option.

Running, sniffing, searching, and thinking.

Try incorporating activities that allow your Beagle to enjoy being a Beagle 🐶🤎

05｜What You Should Know Before Living with a Beagle

Three things to keep in mind when living with a Beagle are:

Exercise, scents, and food.

🏃 Plenty of Exercise
Beagles are active dogs, so it’s important to provide appropriate daily exercise based on their age, health, and energy level.

👃 They Can Become Completely Focused on Scents
Because they may instinctively want to follow an interesting smell, paying attention to safety during walks is especially important.

🍚 They Love Food
Many Beagles are highly food-motivated, so be mindful of treat portions and help them maintain a healthy body condition.

06｜What Is a Beagle’s Coat Like?

Beagles have short hair, but they are actually double-coated.

Their coat consists of two layers:

the outer coat and the undercoat.

They shed small amounts throughout the year, and shedding may increase during seasonal changes.

You might think,

“They’re short-haired, so surely they don’t shed that much.”

And then suddenly…

there are tiny hairs all over your sofa and clothes 😂

Short hair doesn’t necessarily mean no grooming is needed.

07｜The Charm of Beagle Coat Colors and Expressions

When most people think of a Beagle, the classic black, white, and tan tricolor coat probably comes to mind.

But Beagles can also come in a variety of other colors, including:

Red & White
Lemon & White
Tan & White

And one of their greatest charms is, of course, their expressive faces.

Those big floppy ears.

Those round, sparkling eyes.

The slightly worried-looking expression.

The intensely serious face they make the moment they spot food 😂

Even among Beagles, every pattern and every expression is unique.

That one-of-a-kind face that belongs only to your child is part of what makes them so special 🐶🤎

08｜Do Short-Haired Dogs Really Need Brushing?

Although Beagles have short coats, regular brushing is still recommended.

During seasons when shedding increases, brushing a little more frequently can be especially helpful.

Regular grooming also makes it easier to notice small changes such as:

・Excess shedding
・Redness of the skin
・Small lumps or bumps
・Minor scratches or injuries

And of course, Beagles are famous for those large floppy ears.

While brushing, take a moment to check around their ears as well 👂✨

09｜🤍 Beagle × SHARR 🪮✨

When brushing a Beagle, rather than focusing on

“removing as much hair as possible,”

we recommend focusing on

“gently grooming and smoothing the coat.”

STEP 1｜Start by Checking with Your Hands

Gently run your hands over their body and check their coat, shedding, and skin condition.

STEP 2｜Groom with the 14K Gold-Plated Pin Side

Brush gently in the direction of hair growth without applying excessive pressure.

STEP 3｜Finish with the Boar Bristle Side

Finish by smoothing the entire coat while catching fine loose hairs.

SHARR is also recommended for short-haired children like Beagles.

Care for loose hair while helping to keep their coat beautifully smooth 🐶✨

🧡 Add SHARMI to Your Grooming Routine

When dryness or static electricity is a concern, try our brushing mist, SHARMI.

Applying SHARMI to the coat before brushing helps reduce friction, allowing you to groom more gently.

Keep that beautifully smooth, sleek Beagle coat looking its best 🤎

10｜Make Brushing an Easy Part of Everyday Life

Just because Beagles have short coats doesn’t mean they don’t need any grooming at all.

But that doesn’t mean you have to think,

“I have to brush their entire body perfectly every single day!”

Today, maybe just brush their back.

After a walk, perhaps spend only one or two minutes brushing.

That’s perfectly fine.

Adjust the frequency depending on the season and how much your child is shedding, and find a routine that feels comfortable for both of you 💛

What matters most isn’t

“doing it perfectly every day,”

but rather

“continuing in a way that suits your child.”

11｜Brushing Is Communication

Brushing is not only

“a time to make their coat beautiful.”

It is also

“a time to understand your child.”

“You’re shedding a little more today.”

“You seem to really enjoy being brushed here.”

You can notice these small changes because you regularly take the time to gently touch and connect with their body.

Beagles are full of energy, so brushing can also become a quiet moment where you slow down and spend time together.

With SHARR by your side, we hope you’ll enjoy those special moments with your child 🐶🤎

12｜Life with a Beagle 🐶🤎

Those big floppy ears.

Those round, sparkling eyes.

Sniffing everything in sight during walks.

Being the very first to notice when food is nearby.

And giving absolutely everything they have when it’s time to play 😂

Life with a Beagle is filled with moments that make you smile.

Learning about the history and characteristics of the breed can help you understand your child even better.

But most importantly, instead of thinking,

“They’re a Beagle, so they must be this way,”

try asking,

“What is my child like?”

Through everyday brushing, walks, and playtime, we hope you’ll continue discovering more and more about your beloved child 🐶✨

See you again soon 💫
