Hello,

Thank you for providing such a detailed and informative web site about beagles!  I have enjoyed looking through your pictures and learning more about your family.  My mom retired 4 years ago and she is now interested in getting a beagle puppy.  She had a basset hound 35 years ago, and now she's fallen in love with the tri-color beagles.  We live in Raleigh, NC, and we'd love to know how we can add a new beagle to the family.  To answer your questions:

 

1.  The new furry family member will sleep either in a playpen type of bed or in bed with my mom.  Yes, this little one is already spoiled.

 

2.  She has a fenced in yard, approximately 1/2 an acre.  The new puppy will be walked twice a day on a leash around the neighborhood and will stay inside most of the time. 

 

3.  We live in Garner, which is just about 5 miles from Raleigh, NC.  Mom lives in a older neighborhood where lots of people walk their dogs daily.

 

4. There are no kids in the home.  My mom does have a bunny that stays in a cage outside and does not wander around. 

 

5.  We are currently ready to purchase the puppy.  We would like to arrange to travel to you to pick him/her up.  We are interested in learning more about whether or not the puppy will travel well.  Mom would like to be able to take the puppy with her on day trips around the state and to her brother's house to visit.

 

6. We are interested in a standard size tri-color male puppy, although mom would easily fall in love with a female puppy!  In terms of personality, she'd prefer one with more of a laid back personality that enjoys being held, snuggling, and sitting in our laps.  And one that will walk on a leash well.  We plan to enroll in a puppy training class if needed to help the puppy become familiar with walking on a leash without stressing. We welcome any additional recommendations to help make this a successful experience for the puppy!

 

Thanks again for all of your information and all you do to care for these beautiful dogs.  We look forward to hearing from you!
