We have had many beagle chases around the neighborhood, when he has gotten out the front door and has seen a cat. If you do a fence, make it low to the ground, as ours will try and dig under to get out.
He has been the best dog with the kids, he gets lots of attention, but doesn't like to be left alone.
Yes, like Doghousemom says, they have trouble with their ears. when ours is sleeping, I will flip over an ear to air it out.
Enjoy your new girl!
I wonder if "abandonment issues" are common in hounds? Leo (the half Basset) really has abandonment issues. What I always say is that he doesn't want to be with you. He doesn't want to be by you. He wants to be ON you... LOL!
The vet told us to do the same thing with his ears. Also, you can use a banana clip & put them on top of their heads to air them out.
