Beagle
The Beagle is a happy, curious scent hound — friendly, sturdy, and led almost entirely by its nose. Beagles are long-lived for their size and stay playful for years.

The nose. A Beagle follows scent everywhere. Keep it leashed or fenced — a Beagle on a trail does not hear you.
Weight. Beagles will eat anything and gain weight easily. Measure food and limit treats.
Exercise. Daily walks and sniffing time keep a Beagle happy. A bored Beagle howls.
