Meet the breeder
I'm Savannah L., the breeder behind BEARs Beagles located in Tampa, FL. BEARs Beagles is rooted in lifelong experience and a deep connection to the breed, inspired by four foundation dogs who shaped my vision. Focused on preservation, health, structure, and temperament, my program reflects a commitment to raising sound, capable, and well-loved Beagles.
Q. & A. with Savannah
Why did you start breeding?
As a third-generation Beagle owner, I saw the traits I loved in the breed beginning to fade and was driven to preserve them. That purpose led to BEARs Beagles. I focus on producing versatile, well-rounded dogs with sound structure and temperament—Beagles that can perform their purpose and still settle in as devoted companions at home.What makes your program special?
All of my dogs are proven through achievement and evaluation. Each earns a conformation title, at least one sport title, passes temperament testing and advanced obedience, and completes full health testing. I am highly selective in my breeding decisions, focusing on improving the breed with each generation rather than maintaining the current standard.What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our puppies include 13-inch and 15-inch sizes. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include lemon and white, red and white, blue tan and white, and black white and tan. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and guardian homes.

Getting a puppy from Savannah
Savannah has been certified by Good Dog’s screening team for responsible and trusted breeding practices. When you’re ready, reach out to ask about the puppies or anything else on your mind. You’ll get to know each other through messaging, phone, or video and pay securely, all on Good Dog.
Savannah partners with buyers to find the best match as the puppies develop and their personalities take shape. Typically, matches are finalized when the puppies reach about 8 weeks old.
“At 8 weeks, I complete both a conformation evaluation and a temperament assessment on each puppy. Structure, movement, and overall balance are carefully evaluated alongside individual personality, confidence, and drive. These combined evaluations allow me to thoughtfully match each puppy to the most suitable home, ensuring the best long-term fit for both the puppy and their family.”
Price
“All puppies go home with a health cert, first round vaccines/dewormed, a puppy pack. If extra training is chosen and a puppy stays an additional month with me than price does increase. All puppies are the same price regardless of color or pet/show quality. Price only varies if training is requested, and puppies stay an additional month.”
Contract & health guarantee
Savannah may provide a written contract or health guarantee when you purchase a puppy. This helps protect both you and your breeder, ensuring that you both have a clear understanding of the terms of your puppy purchase. If Savannah offers a contract or guarantee, the details will be personalized by them. If you have any questions or want to know more, don't hesitate to reach out to Savannah directly.

Hip testing reduces the chance of passing down hip dysplasia, which is primarily found in large breed dogs and can cause hip pain and the eventual loss of the function of the hip joint.
Eye Certification (CAER, registered with OFA)
Eye testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide range of hereditary eye illnesses including retinal dysplasia, lens luxation, and glaucoma, which can cause impared vision or blindness.
Cardiac Evaluation (registered with OFA)
Heart testing reduces the chance of passing down congenital heart disease, which can cause a range of symptoms ranging from trouble exercising to heart failure.
Thyroid (Autoimmune Thyroiditis, registered with OFA)
A breeder may perform additional tests on their dogs that do not fall into these general categories. These tests may be more uncommon or very specific to a particular breed.

Genetic testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide variety of hereditary diseases of differing prevalence and severity such as Progressive Retinal Atrophy (an eye disease) and Von Willebrand's Disease (a blood disease).
