I don't own one but my son does. She is the sweetest thing ever but very "vocal". Beagles, from what i've been told are very food motivated and tend to get overweight if you aren't careful. now that is not the case with DS's dog, even his vet has commented that he never sees a trim beagle like her. Don't forget they are a hunting breed and will take off if they get on the scent of a rabbit.
