Everything you ever wanted to know about teacup beagles
Teacup beagles are one of the most unique types of beagle available. The teacup beagle is part of the Queen Elizabeth Pocket Beagle part of the beagle family. You can distinguish teacup beagles from regular beagles by their size. Regular beagles are usually about 20 to 25 pounds. Teacup beagles, on the other hand, are typically about six to ten inches tall and weigh between five and fifteen pounds. Prices for this type of beagle usually start around $400, and if you ever find one for less than that, then you should ask yourself why it is so cheap.
Beagles are often recommended for those who live in apartments, and teacup beagles are even better for apartment dwellers because of their even smaller sizes. Overall, beagles are known for their sweet personalities and adorable appearance. They have round, floppy ears and a face that often looks sad, even when the dog is happy. Teacup beagles are just like regular beagles in every way, except they are a lot smaller, hence the name.
Beagles were bred to be scent trackers, which means they are very good at following scents. They were bred specifically to track hare and other small game. Beagles trace their heritage to the early 1800’s in Great Britain, although they are more popular as a pet in the United States and Canada.
Beagles look just like miniature foxhounds, so you can imagine how tiny little teacup beagles appear. Beagles come in a wide variety of colors, although the tricolor is the most common. Tricolor beagles also come in a number of different shades, from the ones with the dark black saddle to the ones with faint specks of brown mixed in with the black saddle. Tricolored beagles can have either a broken pattern or colors that pretty much stay together in groups. You probably won’t know if your puppies are tricolored beagles because they are usually born black and white. The black areas on the tricolored beagles then sometimes fade to brown when the puppies are about two months old. The brown areas can even take up to two years to fully develop, and some beagles will gradually change colors a bit as they age. Usually the black markings are the ones that fade the most. Two-color beagles have a white base coat and areas of a second color, with tan being the most common secondary color on the two-color variety.
One of the best things about beagles is that they typically have very few health problems in their life time. Beagles usually live for between 12 and 15 years. One of the most common problems among beagles is epilepsy, although it’s easily controlled with medication. Beagles can also have a major weight problem if you don’t watch how much they eat. Diet is extremely important for this breed of dog because hypothyroidism can occur. Beagles may also get ear infections because of those cute, floppy ears that block some of the air flow to the ears.
