Sneezing

My beagles are sneezing a great deal lately. They have not been away from home and so not exposed to anything that I can think of. Any ideas what could be the causing of all their sneezing?

Any change in bedding? Do you use lime in your kennels? Run in areas with a lot of dusty weeds? If many of them are doing it, it may not be sneezing and they may have picked up kennel cough somehow(neighborhood dog, stray, etc).

The dogs are in my house unless they are doing their duty outside. It isn't a deep rasping cough but rather a sneeze that humans get when they have a cold. They sneeze a lot in the morning. They have been sleeping substantially under warm blankets at night.

Hmmm...hard to say without seeing them and maybe more importantly hearing them! Air really dry in the house? How are their teeth? Bad teeth can cause a maxillary sinusitis. Have you, or maybe you should have them seen?
