As a former Beagle owner, I can attest to this breed's happy nature and suitability for families. Hounds often get along well with other dogs, and are generally non-aggressive. That doesn't mean there aren't exceptions, and as a trainer, I still recommend that they be taken to puppy class very early to learn their social and obedience skills, but most times these are funny, lovable, dogs with great personality and charm that get along with everyone - probably because of their history of having to get along in large packs, and with people they didn't know well. Don't get one if you want an off leash dog - even the ones with a good recall tend to want to follow their noses. And, they are often difficult for newbie owners to house train. They can live very long lives, too (mine was nearly 17), so do consider your lifestyle for the next 15+ years when thinking about getting this breed. But, if you like to be amused, have a way to exercise an active dog, or like the idea of teaching your dog to find your keys, maybe this is the breed for you. Good article.
