I posted a question about Beagles' changing color. Thanks for the pictures showing the changing color on tricolors. I want to tell you how this little puppy came to our house and why I asked the question. Between Christmas and January 1, a pregnant Beagle showed up. She sure looked like a purebred and we couldn't figure out where she came from. We thought she might have been out hunting and gotten lost. We wondered what kind of swain she might have encountered along the way and what the pups would look like. She had three puppies that we saw at about 2 weeks. Only one survived. She was freezing and cold and we brought her in the house at 8 weeks. They were all black and white with tan above the eyes. The longer we have her, the more we think she's a purebred. What do you think?

Yup, looks like a purebreed to me

Usually Beagles are born black and white (if they are the typical brown/white/black colors) She is very beautiful. Are you keeping pup's mom too?

This was an unplanned pregnancy. My husband and I are in our seventies and already have 2 rescued cats and a rescue dog--Australian Shepherd Golden Retriever mix, who is 13. The mama is just beautiful and probably only about 2 years old. We found a nice couple at church with children and a boxer pup who took her. Every Sunday we get an update on Millie. They got her a crate, took her to the vet, and we had her spayed since, as Medicare patients, we had it done for $40. They say she must have been a house dog since she's housebroken and loves being inside. Although I would never have imagined having a pup at our age, we have gotten so attached and I've become a big Beagle fan.

Maggie is beautiful, so I can only imagine how pretty Millie is.
She does look like purebred pup to me, but you can never know.

I'm glad to hear that there was a happy ending for mama and baby. She looks purebred to me, too, at her young age. I imagine that, as she gets older, anything she may be mixed with will express itself more strongly. She's gorgeous.

Welcome Betty and that's quite a story. Can you post a larger image? It's really hard to tell from such a small picture.

 

[Murphys Dad]

That's a wonderful story, and I'm so glad that Maggie and her momma both have good homes.

It is very easy to become attached to a beagle, and I'm sure she'll bring a lot of joy to you.

I was worried about staying within the guidelines of size. I did post a larger photo in the large photo forum but it was mainly to show the color changing on her head.

Welcome Betty! Maggie is beautiful, and definitely looks purebred to me also!

What a great story. Welcome. She is beautiful

 

[Murphys Dad]

Maggie is adorable! Such a pretty girl. She looks all Beagle to me, and if she's not, it doesn't matter one bit. Her story sounds very similar to that of my Jersey girl. I'm sure Maggie will make a great addition to your home. Beagles are great dogs and steal the hearts of their owners quickly!
