Can anyone tell the pros and cons of caring for a beagle dog2007-11-25 2:59:31

I'm in the process of adopting a young beagle (my nephew is 8 and it seems small enough yet boyish enough for him) but we've never owned a dog before.

Any suggestions, tips, etc?

Answers:

I love Beagles, my brother has a pair called Smith & Weson There are beautiful dogs, always happt and very obedient.

The Beagle is full of energy and does great in a family environment. They are very lively, active, and high energy making a wonderful childs companion given the proper socialization. This breed is alert and of even temperament and should never show signs of aggression or timidity. The Beagle can be very mischievous and very bold at times so proper precautions must be taken when training and/or socializing this fun loving breed.

The Beagle is an all around happy dog that makes a wonderful companion for many different families. This breed adapts to many different environments and lifestyles, if not all. The Beagle is very eager to please, and is very intelligent however training must be consistent as this breed tends to lose interest and focus on something that catches his attention. This breed does extremely well with children, and can do exceptionally well with other pets if socialized properly.
