Personality

Bruno is a typical Beagle in many ways – affectionate, food motivated, clever, stubborn and very scent-driven. He forms strong bonds with his people and loves companionship.

He enjoys:

• Sniffy walks in grassy areas full of interesting smells
• Sunbathing in the garden
• Tug of war and short games of fetch
• Kong feeders and food enrichment
• Sofa cuddles under a blanket
• Head scratches and affection
• Searching for food scattered in the garden

He also has lots of funny little habits, including carrying his food bowl to remind you when it’s dinner time.

Training & Behaviour

Bruno knows a range of basic commands including sit, stay, paw, lay down and bed. He walks well on a harness overall, although he can pull when excited.

He is fully housetrained and can be left alone for a few hours once settled.

Important Behaviour Information

Bruno has developed increased resource guarding behaviours over the past few months, particularly since the arrival of the baby. If he steals an item he should not have, he may growl or show his teeth if approached.

Previously he would happily trade items for treats, but this has become more difficult recently. His new home will need to continue positive reinforcement training and careful management around high-value items.

Bruno can also bark at male dogs on walks and is protective of the home around delivery drivers.

Ideal Home

Bruno would suit:

• A calm, adult-only home
• Owners experienced with Beagles or scent hounds
• Someone who enjoys walking and enrichment activities
• A quieter household with routine and stability
• Possibly a home with a calm female dog

Bruno enjoys routine and likes to know when walks and meals are happening.

Sleeping

Bruno sleeps in a cosy safe space under the stairs with a donut bed and duvet, with access to the downstairs hallway.

Final Notes

Bruno is a deeply loving dog who thrives on companionship, affection and consistency. In the right home, with understanding owners and a peaceful environment, he has so much love and loyalty to give.

He is looking for someone who understands that beneath the barking and stubborn Beagle traits is a sensitive dog who simply wants security, routine and to feel included as part of the family.
