Beagles: More Than Just Cute Ears - A Breeder Shares His Story

Have you ever seen those adorable beagles with floppy ears and big brown eyes? They melt hearts everywhere! But there's more to these happy pups than just good looks. We interviewed Sivanesan Manickavel, a passionate breeder from Hiddenpaw's Beagles in Kinathukadavu, Coimbatore. Hiddenpaw's breeds beagles, German Shepherds, and Labrador Retrievers, all known for being healthy and meeting high standards.

Today, we're focusing on beagles with Sivanesan. He's been in love with these energetic and intelligent dogs for over ten years!

From Show Dog to Breeder

Sivanesan wasn't just charmed by the beagle's cuteness; he loved their smarts and playful energy! After winning a show with his first beagle, he decided to become a breeder. But for him, it wasn't just about winning trophies. Sivanesan believes healthy bloodlines are important to raise happy and healthy puppies.

Breeding Beagles

Being a breeder is a big responsibility for Sivanesan. He has to make sure the dogs are healthy and don't have any genetic problems. He carefully chooses the right puppy from a litter to become a breeding dog or a show dog, making sure each pup has the best life possible.

Bringing a Beagle Home: Forget the 40-Day Myth!

Thinking of adding a beagle to your family? Sivanesan has some great advice! First, ask yourself if you have the time and space for a playful beagle. Don't worry about the "40-day attachment myth" – beagles can love you at any age! Just wait until the puppy is around 90 days old for their shots and to make sure they're healthy. Visit the breeder's kennel and meet the dogs before you bring one home.

Dog Shows: Fun, Not Mandatory

Dog shows might seem fancy, but Sivanesan says they're more like fun events for dog lovers! It's a chance to celebrate dogs and meet other people who love these special dogs. Winning isn't everything, but if you want to show your dog, you'll need to research their bloodlines and train them properly.

The Unbreakable Bond: The Best Part of Beagles

The most rewarding part of breeding beagles, according to Sivanesan, is simply spending time with them. Their playful energy and happy wags can brighten anyone's day. The bond between a human and a beagle is truly special.

So, if you're thinking about getting a beagle, remember, it's a big commitment, but one filled with love and fun. Do your research, find a good breeder, and get ready to welcome a loyal friend into your life! And a Sivanesan gave a special shoutout to Happy Pet! Bringing breeders together under one platform is no easy task. Sivanesan is impressed by Happy Pet's dedication and excited to see what Happy Pet accomplishes next.
