Beagles are nice little fellas  , very friendly and no trouble , thats the good bit , you'll only know the next bit if you own one , all Beagle owners look at each other with the knowing smile that says yeah I know.
Right they have there own agenda which is finding food and nothing comes in its way, they are the eating champs of the canine world and will sell you for a crumb, training them is nigh on impossible , sit for a treat and that's it.
They are escapologists but it takes them a long time to get far as the search for food begins , my garden is large it would keep out the SAS and just about keeps the Beagle in. They sniff the ground constantly , a hoover on four legs , walking is tedious , no matter how many times you say come on and pull , if I'm walking in the street I try and walk down the middle of the road as there is less scent. If its edible he will eat it and I mean anything , so you are constantly watching for dog poo and give a tug before he gets at it.
To sum up I would describe them as lovable rouges.





Oh yes and another thing , they do not recall , they have heard and may look your way but unless there is something in it for them forget it , particularly annoying when they have gone walkabout , they could be a few yards away but will not acknowledge your call in anyway
