Beagle: After 5 years, still the best dog breed for families

Our Beagle has been part of our family for 5 years and I still get emotional thinking about how much she has enriched our lives. happy temperament — and with two young kids, that means everything.

great scent hound. We've tried other breeds before but nothing compares to the Beagle's temperament. She is merry, curious, friendly and adapts beautifully to our busy household.

The main things to budget for: can be escape artists. We also learned about hip dysplasia, so we get regular vet checkups. Overall cost is higher than I expected initially, but every penny is worth it. Highly recommend this breed to anyone and everyone.
