Having lost Sam in 2015 and Toby last New Years Eve, the Beagle is a breed we are looking at researching seriously. I think a new dog would be something positive to focus our minds on moving forwards after these difficult times with my dad and I know he would want us to have another dog.

Have had a couple over the years, they are a great breed imho but very headstrong & need a lot of exercise. As you say, they are also very food oriented & will get fat if you don't be careful with their diet. I wouldn't hesitate to get another, if I was looking to buy another dog. (Now Sold). 2008 Freelander 2 (Nazca Sand) SE TD4 Auto. Statutory write off & on WOVR for hail damage but still road legal.

We have had 2 Beagles. One we lost recently at 13 to an auto immune condition.

Thanks for the input We are no strangers to dogs that need lots of walks after 2 springer spaniels and in Toby's case he was very headstrong!

I've got a buddy who has gun dogs and is also Master of a Beagle pack. His view is you spend your time getting labs and springers to do what you want and you spend your time with beagles to stop them doing what you don't want. 2009 GS Auto Zermatt Silver - Sold June 21 after 10 years of ownership

very pack oriented hound so having just one can be extremely bad for the dog hence why so many are in rescue homes, If you decide on the breed please get at least two. If it wasn't so bad it'd be funny.

I have a Beagle - he's asleep under my desk in work as I type this. I'm lucky having my own business enabling me to do so .
