2 males??

[Guest Anonymous]

hey,
A while back we bred my male Beagle, (Jerry lee) we get a puppy I really want to get a male.(he is the cutest of the 4)
People have told me that you shouldn't have 2 males, (especially if their not nutered) but these are from people that have GSD, and other people tell me if i introduce them early enough they will get along and once beagles are pack dogs would be more likely to get along.

Who should i believe? :-?

Thanks,
Amanda :wink:

I do not know much about Beagles but please be careful if you decide to get a male pup considering your existing male has been used as a stud dog. Stud dogs can be same-sex aggressive (I think). Also, please think about NEUTERING. It will curb many aggressive tendencies in your males plus it will prevent against some cancers.

I have three unnuetered male dogs:
Kavik 14month old BC
Tyr 7month old GSD/Malamute cross
Zaphod 3 1/2 month old Lab/something cross
Currently they can get along all together but only Kavik is mature so he is the only one who pursues dominance with any degree of seriouseness. We have appointments over the next couple months to have them all nuetered, even Kavik who has papers. There is no need to have them unfixed and it is a lot of work to manage their behaviours as it is, once all three of them are mature . . . :o .
I don't think the breed matters much. A beagle is just as likely to scent mark in the house as any other breed. A beagle is just as capable of harming another beagle as almost any other dog. If you fix the dogs and introduce them early you should be fine, beagles are supposed to be very dog freindly but every dog is different.

we aren't allowed to neuter him til he is 5yrs cuz of a contract with the breeder... something 'bout she might want to breed him again... he is my jr. dog (yes i do know they can be fixed and still show him) and i sometimes show him in breed when it's free.
And i definitely not gonna fix the pup cuz i'm gonna try and get him(her) to it's CH.

Ps- jerry is not the least bit aggressive. jerry would never try to hurt a dog (it would be more of an accedent). it's sorta funny cuz when ever jerry seen a dogfight jerry does a bay almost like he's saying "Stop fighting guys"...lol even when he hears one on the TV...lol

Hounds are pretty okay. They are made to be pack dogs, of either sex. They have low dog on dog agression, which is why they can run in a pack.
I would never bring a b*tch in heat into the equation or even allow them to be around each other, if one has been exposed to a b*tch in season, without a very good baking soda bath.
Beagles don't worry me as much as other breeds would...I think you might be okay...but just play it safe, and make sure you never leave them alone together unattended.

Good luck with the showing!!
Will the male pup be shown? If not you could have him neutered around 6 months, should take care of any problems. If you might want to show him AND can keep him from getting in "trouble", see how your current boy acts around other unaltered males. Have you ever seen him try to dominate other unneutered dogs? I do know many breeders who have unaltered males who live together just fine.

My 6 month puppy is not *yet* neutered and his best bud is a 3 year old unneutered (responsibly so) bull mastiff, who has never shown an inkling of aggression, territorialism, or humping.

I have a male, and if I add another dog, it will most likely be male as well. I personally prefer male dogs. But both will be neutered.

I hope my rambling post has helped a bit!

I know the temperment of germen shepherd dogs and beagles extremely well. there is no reason why u shouldn't be able to bring two males together. if the breeder is worried, he/she is hidding something. I would be extremely concerned if I were in your place. Please ask questions and ask about temperments.

does this mean the dog is on shared ownership with the breeder. This can cause a lot of trouble it's better to own a dog with out strings

[Poofy]

Its very common though, in the show world, for juniors to be *given* expensive dogs by successful breeders, to be shown. Those breeders often do not wan the dogs altered, because they are still apart of their breeding program. The "strings" Are there to keep the other part from selling or getting rid of the dog without the breeder's consent.
I trusted one person, and had a "no strings" agreement...I am STILL regretting that decision, till this very day.

it's a long boring story on how we got jerry (no strings) but here it is:

our old dog died. so a few months after his death we started going to dog shows to find a nice breeder. at this point i didn't even want to show dogs in Jr. or anything,i jut wanted a nice pet dog.we found a nice responsible beagle breeder. who wasn't gonna have pups for a few months. after she finished her dogs she likes to give them to nice homes. well that day Jerry Lee finished his CH. and she was puttng up for sale i was thinking "no" cuz he wasn't anything i wanted, he was red/white and 15'',but i bent down to pet him and feel in love he had the perfect additude. so a week later he was gonna spend the weekend at our house to see if we really wanted him. the weekend went well (we even taught him some tricks before the breeder came back). sense we were gonna buy him the breeder made up some contracts mostly about if your gonna sale him give him back to her and don't breed with out permission and don't neuter til 5yrs.

Okay, I don't know too much about breeding, or showing at that matter, which is why I guess it's best if I ask more questions eh!? So here goes...
why would the breeder not want your pup to be neutered until 5 years old? To me, that seems a little fishy... but, then again, I don't really know anything about breeding/showing!

The breeder is most likely just keeping the options open for a bit on using him as a sire. She may have a mate she wants to use him with, but is waiting to finish her. Who knows, but that is not something that makes a breeder unethical. So long as she placed the dog in a home that can keep him away from girls in heat, and does not allow them to breed him themselves, she is acting responsibly.

It's not the pup that can't be neutered until he is 5, it is the sire.

IMO they would be fine. Beagles aren't exactly known for dog agression. Like the others have said, they are pack dogs.

[courtnek]

Male beagles are okie dokie together - like stated earlierl they are pack dogs and actuallly like having each other around. They were bred originally to live together in large quantities. I got this info from a friedn who breeds bloodhounds - all of his males get along just "peachy".
(sometimes Mark is so strange...lol) You cant neuter the sire due to contract, but if "issues" arise you can alter the other male, and any issues will disappear. There usually arent any though. The sire will take the place as "pack lead" and unless something really odd happens, the pup will accept it. Just look for untoward aggression from the pup, if that happens have him neutered. But Mark sayd "not likely"...and he both breeds and shows his dogs.
