About Daisy
Daisy is a bright, high-energy beagle with a huge personality and an even bigger zest for life. She is clever, inquisitive, and thrives on activity and mental stimulation. She absolutely loves being outdoors and would happily spend all day outside exploring, sunbathing, or rolling in the grass for tummy rubs.
At home, Daisy is affectionate once she feels comfortable and has “sussed you out.” She’s very intelligent — she can even operate door handles to let herself in and out! She loves interactive games, learning new tricks, and working for her food through enrichment toys.
Reason for Rehoming
Since the arrival of a baby, Daisy’s owners are struggling to meet her very high exercise needs. Daisy requires around 2 hours of brisk walking daily, along with mental stimulation. With two dogs in the household who have very different needs, it has become increasingly difficult to give Daisy the outlet she requires, and she has started showing frustration through destructive behaviour.
This decision has been made with Daisy’s best interests at heart.
Exercise & Training
- Walks nicely on a Halti
- Tends to pull without it
- Attended Dogs Trust puppy classes
- Crate trained (sleeps downstairs in her crate)
- Can be left for up to 4 hours if exercised well beforehand
- Travels fine for a couple of hours
- Can be let off lead in open, visible areas (may range far)
- Secure garden required
Daisy is extremely intelligent and benefits greatly from enrichment such as Kongs and puzzle feeding.

- Possibly as the only dog, or with a compatible calm dog
She is not a low-maintenance beagle — but in the right environment, Daisy will be an incredibly loyal, entertaining, and loving companion.
Daisy is full of personality, intelligence, and heart. She simply needs the right outlet for her energy and a home that matches her adventurous spirit.
