A Beagle refusing to eat????

Yes that's right a beagle refusing to eat....well his breakfast anyway!
Ever since we've had him the routine has been get up, walk and then breakfast but for some reason, he's increasingly refusing to eat it.
He eats Natural Instinct and its not one particular type he's refusing to eat, it seems its all types.
I don't think its separation anxiety as he has been known to refuse to eat it on the weekend.
Any ideas why?

How old is he? How long has he not been eating breakfast for? Is his poop OK?0

He's coming up to 3 and to be honest its really hit and miss as to whether he eats it or not so I can't really say how long its been for - but its got to the point where its a case of 'has he eaten it or not?'
Everything else is normal - which makes it all the more stranger2014 Target;

My dog (terrier cross) will not eat normal dog food for breakfast. I give her porridge made with water and a few small bits of left-over meat/fat and mix in some of her kibbles. She loves it

Could you change him to one meal a day in the evening? I know a lot of dogs who only have one meal of an evening. Maybe he just doesn't want to eat in the mornings. Try him for a week or two with all of his food at say 5 or 6pm?0

My beagle is doing this too! She's 1 and turns her nose up at her kibble. She'll have a few bits during the day but it's very rare that she eats the lot. I feed her more in the evening, and I mix it with wet food and she'll devour it. She's perfectly healthy, and given half the chance she'd eat the contents of the fridge, but she's not bothered by her food.0

The only thing I can think of is that he's waiting to see what he's doing in the day.....OH has been taking him to work with him (which he loves as the other guys in the office bring their dogs in with them as well). On the occasions that he's been left at home, and refused his breakfast, he eats it without any problems literally as soon as we've left (we have a mutt cam so we can see what he's up to) .
Weird or what?2014 Target;
