Beagles are gentle, easygoing dogs that can adapt to either city or country life. Beagles can be very stubborn, so they need early and consistent training. Beagles come in two varities: the 13" Beagle and the 15" Beagle. Beagles are hound dogs. Because they are great at sniffing and exploring, hounds were originally used to trail rabbits, foxes, and other small mammals. In general, most hounds are good-natured dogs that make loving companions if trained properly. Hounds are sometimes stubborn, though, so training may take a while. Most hounds need rigorous physical exercise, so daily walks and runs are a must. Never let a hound off a leash unless it's in an enclosed area, because it will take off if it picks up a scent. Hounds are barkers and howlers.
