New Beagle Puppy :d

Your puppy is beautiful.

I also dont go near kellyville pets. I dont like what they stand for....i also think they charge like a wounded bull. Plenty of other shops ie. Petcare 2000, petbarn or petstock at castle hill/bella vista.

Any puppy school you go to should be checking vaccination records.

I always took mine to Castle Hill showground for obedience and puppy schools. Below details are from dogs nsw site.

ahhhh a new beagle baby owner AND a local.

If you really want to do the puppy pre school thing, I would suggest Vets @ Acacia Gardens who are on Quakers Hill PWY just next to the big chicken farm.

The off lead park at Rouse Hill is a nice one and I have been known to visit there with my girls. I haven't been for a little while as I have a 6mth old Pointer now too and don't want him exposed to any bad experiences. When he is a little older we may venture back there but usually when it's quiet.

Can I also suggest you look at Blacktown Kennel Club Training for obedience work when pup turns 4mths old. They have loads of beagles in their classes and their technique works really well with beagles and all the other breeds. It's a nice place to learn with your dog.

Now if I read it right, you have an older BC but she doesn't live with you, right? beagles are very pack orientated and don't cope well on their own for extended periods. Do one of you work from/ stay home? if pup is left alone for hours while you both work, you may encounter destructive or barking/howling behavior.

I have looked after a fair few single beagles who were handed in for unwanted behavior and when put in my home with other dogs and me at home all day they were dream dogs. So if your pup is to be an only dog, you may need to look into distraction techniques early to prepare your self and pup so unwanted behavior doesn't set in. OR get a second beagle in 4-6mths for company

if you ever have any questions or want a few well mannered beagles to have a play with pup (sorry what IS pups name?) just pm me and we can have a play date to keep pup socialised and safe.

Welcome to the wonderful world of beagles.

Your puppy is adorable!!!! I took my pup to puppy preschool at about 10 weeks i think it was. I used Vip pet foods up in queensland but do a bit of research for your area.

Good luck with the little one!

My pup is currently nearlly 5 months and i have only just taken him to a dog park over the last few weeks. You need to at least wait til he has all his vaccinations and when you go to a park before letting him off lead just take note of the other dogs and there behaviour. Make sure they are suitable to be playing with him.
