If you are looking for the sweetest petite beagle look no further. Willow is friendly with dogs of all sizes and great with people. She enjoys playing with other dogs and running around doing zoomies with them. She is a gentle girl who enjoys a good walk and a plush toy to chew on and carry around. She loves to follow her people around the house and always wants to be close. She is not a fan of her kennel or being alone and will whine and bark, so a home with no shared walls is best. She is great for baths and nail trims.

WillowDean Fun facts

* She catches flies faster than the karate kid

* No need to weed your lawn anymore, Her favorite snack is dandelions

* She will happily hop into the dishwasher to help with those pesky dirty dishes

* She makes a great cuddle buddy

* She scores the most points in badminton and wastes no time collecting the birdies once they hit the ground.

* She holds the record for Most squeaky toys squeaked

Willow has a strong prey drive and should not live with cats, or pocket pets like rabbits.

Willow does have back issues (spondylosis and possible Intervertebral disk disease) that do cause her to have some weakness in her backend. As she ages, this has progressed but she still gets around very well and just has some extra wiggle and sway to her walk. Due to her backend issues she does need to wear a diaper for some urine and poo incontinence, she tolerates the diapers extremely well and looks as cute as a button in her bloomers. Due to this, she will need a family willing to change her diaper as soon as an accident occurs to avoid skin issues. Her diapers are washable making keeping her clean and tidy that much easier. Due to her need to wear diapers, her family should be home more often than not. She also needs help with getting on and off of furniture.

Willow does not let her special needs slow her down, she is a playful happy dog, who is sure to brighten your day.
