I've had Beagles almost my entire life and have been breeding them for the last 11 years. Their appeal has the most to do with their personality - cheerful, friendly and affectionate, great with other pets, incredibly tolerant with small kids, funny  - and sometimes just plain ornery.  Who can resist those soulful eyes and long, floppy ears??  They really enjoy a fenced-in yard since being outdoors is "in their genes". Yet, they're small enough to make great indoor pets.  Yes - they shed - but that's where a good "Furminator" brush comes in handy. Come visit our joyful little souls. They'll make you smile!!
