Beagles are quite OK Amy if you choose from the litter OK. This particular dog cowered in the corner when DD went to choose one and she felt sorry for it. Never choose a dog that cowers, choose the one who rushes up and wants to lick you to death. Her first beagle was a lovely dog but their food obsession can be a bit trying at times. You can't leave anything around, even on tables etc because they will get to it somehow.
Think mine is going to be a Dalmatian now. Just not sure if it will be black on white or white on black???
