In Ukraine, there are numerous advertisements for the sale of animals, with prices sometimes reaching levels comparable to expensive gadgets, cars, or even real estate. However, alongside these sales, there are also other ads — offering pets for free.
One such advertisement appeared on a popular Ukrainian classifieds site. In it, the owner offers Beagle puppies for free, with one condition – they must go to good homes. However, there is a clarification: these puppies are not purebred.
“Mom is a Beagle, Dad is a Kurzhaar (purebred). Two puppies are tricolor like a Beagle, and two are chocolate-colored like a Kurzhaar,” — the message states.
About the Beagle Breed
The Beagle is one of the most popular breeds of friendly dogs and belongs to the hound group. They are known for their friendliness, energy, and good temperament. Beagles get along well with children, but they have a strong hunting instinct, so they require regular physical activity. These dogs are prone to overeating, so it’s important to monitor their diet closely. They are easy to care for due to their short coat.
Historically, Beagles were used for hunting rabbits and small animals thanks to their excellent sense of smell and endurance. Today, they are increasingly becoming household pets and companions, but due to their strong hunting instinct, they may get distracted by scents and not respond to commands. Therefore, it is better to keep them on a leash during walks.
About the Kurzhaar Breed
The Kurzhaar, or German Shorthaired Pointer, is a breed of hunting dogs that was developed in Germany. They are very intelligent, energetic, and easily trainable. Kurzhaars have a strong hunting instinct, are durable, and loyal to their family. These dogs are perfect for various types of hunting, both on land and in water. They are often used as service dogs and even in competitive shooting.
Despite their friendly nature, the Kurzhaar requires an active lifestyle and significant physical exercise. Without sufficient movement and stimulation, these dogs can become problematic, so they should be kept in an active state.
