Want A Beagle? Choose A Lemon Drop Beagle
If you would like to have a beagle as a pet, one type you should consider is the lemon drop beagle. Below is information about this breed so you can start looking for one from a breeder or find one at a local dog rescue.
Unique and Beautiful
The lemon drop beagle is a unique dog because instead of the standard brown and white color, their coat is a beautiful lemon color. Because they are unique, these dogs may be harder to find, and will likely cost more than a standard beagle does.
When you start looking for lemon drop beagle puppies, you will notice they are white. As your dog grows, however, their coat will get darker until it is a lemon-yellow color. Some lemon drop beagles get a little darker than others. If you want to be sure, ask the breeder if you can see the mother, as well as the father if possible. This can give you an idea of how light or how dark your lemon drop beagle will be.
Smart and Loving
Beagles are known to be smart dogs. Taking your dog to a dog trainer is beneficial and allows you to see how smart they are. Beagles are also loving and kind to their family and they can be fun to have around.
Lemon drop beagles enjoy being outside and love to go hiking, take walks, etc. with you. This will help with their energy levels, as well, as if they do not get enough exercise, they will let you know it. Beagles are vocal dogs and have a unique bark. You will quickly find this out when your dog will let you know when it wants your attention.
Grooming
One big benefit of purchasing or rescuing a lemon drop Beagle is they are easy to groom. They have a short coat but you will notice they do shed a lot. You will find a lot of short hairs sticking to your clothing, furniture, etc. Because of this, you should brush your beagle every couple of days to help remove their loose fur.
Give your lemon drop beagle a bath every few weeks or more often if they get dirty while playing outside. Most beagles do not mind getting a bath because they like water. You also need to keep their ears clean, as well as their teeth. A veterinarian can help you with these two things.
If you find it difficult to find a lemon drop beagle, keep looking as they are well worth the wait. Contact a local breeder or animal shelter to learn more about lemon drop beagles.
