Description:Ryno was found as a stray by a very caring couple. They did keep him for a couple of days while trying to find his owner but could not. So they contacted us asking if we would rehome him..he is so sweet and loving we just couldn't say no!
Ryno is a young energetic puppy whom likes other dogs and people. He is a love but needs some puppy training as he pulls on the leash, jumps on people, etc. He would benefit from someone with a secure fenced yard and time to let him run around a play! His finders tell me he can run like the wind and loves to play with other dogs!
Foster Update 7/6/10: When I first saw Ryno's picture on the website I though he was a larger dog, but once I saw him at Judy's my first thought was he is VERY SMALL and VERY ADORABLE. He's spunky, has a very SOFT coat, and like to play tug of war with our 70 pound Terrier. I call him the "The Big Man on Campus" because of his big dog attitude. The kids love him because of his high energy level, his favorite game is "Chase Me" where he grabs the baby bottle and run around the house with it while my two year old gives chase. I'm very surprised he hasn't been adopted yet because he is SOOOO CUTE.
Foster Update 8/1/10: Ryno is being a great dog in our house, he is still learning his manners but getting better everyday. I let him run beside me on bike rides which he loves and I love because it helps him release his energy, which he has a lot of. He loves playing with our 60lbs dog unless she sits on him or takes his empty plastic water bottle. He tries to play with our cats but stays his distance when they start to hiss and growl at him. With more training this little guy will be a perfect companion for almost anyone.
According to www.dogbreedinfo.com, the Beagle is one of the most popular scent hounds because of his energy, willingness, and merry, sweet disposition. The breed probably originated as a cross between the Harrier and other hounds in England. The Beagle has been used in packs, alone, and in pairs, for hunting hare, pheasant and quail. He has also served as an excellent narcotics detection dog and makes a fine family companion. The Beagle is a gentle, sweet, lively and curious dog that just loves everyone! A happy little tail-wagger! Sociable, brave and intelligent. Calm and loving. Excellent with children and generally good with other dogs, but should not be trusted with non-canine pets, unless they are socialized with cats and other household animals when they are young. Beagles have minds of their own. They are determined and watchful and require patient, firm training. This breed doesn't like being left alone. Consider buying two if you will be gone a lot. A Beagle has a loud baying cry that was a delight to hunting horsemen, but can be disturbing to family and neighbors. Beagles have a tendency to follow their own noses. They may take off on their own exploration if let off their leash in an unfenced area. Energetic and possessing great stamina, the Beagle needs plenty of exercise, but a yard of reasonable size will take care of most of its requirements. A brisk daily walk will cover the rest. Always use a lead when walking this breed or you will be running the risk of it disappearing in search of wild game. They have a life expectancy of about 12-15 years.
