Cute dog, they're awesome as puppies.

I have two purebread beagles that I've adopted from troubled homes. They're coming out of being puppies now. I love them, but they're difficult sometimes.

Unsolicited beagle advice from my experience;

Don't start any bad habits you'll want to break later, they are very stubborn. If you want to crate train, do it right away. Don't trust them off a leash. If you plan on leaving your dog unattended in a yard, go NUTS making it escape proof, including under fences. PM me for horror stories about escaping beagles. The best corrective method we've found is a spray bottle of water to the face. They hate that, but it's harmless.

If you don't have two dogs already, I found that having two beagles was better in every way than when I had one only. They occupy each other and therefore leave me alone when I'm doing my own stuff.
