Do beagles shed their hair?

Beagles shed slightly more than the average short-haired breed of dog, according to Your Purebred Puppy. They shed more than other dogs because of their soft undercoat and coarse outer coat. According to Beagle Pro, beagles shed more in the spring and autumn than during any other time of year.

The best way to reduce the amount of shedding is through proper grooming. Brushing the beagle with a dog brush glove on a regular basis helps eliminate loose fur. While shedding is normal in all dog breeds, allergies or fleas can also cause hair loss that looks very similar to shedding.
