About the Beagle
When socialised and exercised well Beagles are good with other pets and children, which combine to make them a popular family breed.
However, it’s important to remember that Beagles were initially bred as hunting dogs and they can easily become distracted when out on walks. This makes Beagles one of the more difficult dog breeds to train.
