my son adopted what was supposed to be a docile beagle puppy from the pound, only, after deworming the dog, she acted as if she had just consumed an entire case of red bull. Viola, I thought, this is not a beagle. Not sure what it is, but it is not a beagle. This dog is very active but she's also skittish. I took her for a walk on a retractable leash. She took off running, jerked it out of my hand & it began to retract furiously towards her. She tried to outrace her "pursuer" through 3 neighborhood yards before coming to a cowering quivering stop behind some bushes. If she so much as sees that blue retractable leash - 1.5 years later, she just sits & quivers. She, along with our other 2 dogs, have always had the freedom to run in the adjacent 100 acres, although she's the only one that stayed gone for hours. Never thought this was a problem UNTIL, yes, she killed two neighborhood cats, in a most determined manner. After a little research I now know she must be JRT or JRT mix. (Please do not berate me. Remember, I adopted a beagle)
