Recognising the Breed
Spot the Beagle Puppy!
The puppy in the middle is a Jack Russell Terrier, easy to spot the difference when you can compare, but faced with eight of these little darlings swarming about, could you be fooled? What about the other two? The puppy on the left is a Bassett crossed with a Jack Russell Terrier. The puppy on the right is a pedigree, Kennel Club registered Beagle.
Always buy a puppy from a reputable breeder where you will see the puppies with their mother and sometimes the father. Never obtain a puppy from a pet shop, puppy dealer, a market or from a puppy super-store.
Beagle Welfare cannot stress strongly enough, how important it is that you research the breed thoroughly and only buy from a reputable breeder.
