Beagles are cheerful scent hounds with a compact build, strong nose, and sociable personality. They often enjoy people, other dogs, and outdoor sniffing time, but their independence can make recall and loose-leash walking real training priorities. Their coat is easy to maintain, though shedding still happens. Because Beagles are prone to weight gain, monthly food costs should be based on measured meals rather than free feeding.
