People sometimes mixing this dog with Foxhound, Smooth Fox Terrier, Jack Russell Terrier etc.. Once my friend also told me about my dog " aaa isn' it Mask' dog? " . In the movie of Mask the dog was Jack Russell Terrier but not a Beagle. Beagles are more shorter than all of those 3 breeds. And more smooth lines. Not maybe Mask' dog but caricature and cartoon movie character Snoopy is a Beagle. If they can be trained (which is not very easy ) they are very good hound dogs for rabbits, squirrel, etc... not for the birds. But be careful if you have chickens at your place they will always chase them and injure them instinctively. They can trace or can help narcotic police well. They are also very good with kids. You do not need to worry about that or with the other dogs also generally they are good. But sometimes with big dogs or more dominant dogs you can have problems. Also like every breeds has a specific health problems Beagles also have some. Beagles mostly tent to have allergic. Most of Beagle owners probably have this problem. It is probably a genetic problem in this breed. Other health issues hypothyroidism, progressive retinal atrophy, cataract, epilepsy and atopy is common in this breed. Beagles' origin is Britannia. So well yes they are English except their accent. They can be in different colors sometimes but standard Beagles usually has 3 colors on lower body and legs usually white upper body is light brown with black big spots. Usually Dog contests, breeders, kennels will check that colors or their stands ( if there is something wrong on their legs etc..).
They are good with owner but you still need a leash for them while you go to wandering around with them. Because they can suddenly run and will not listen you. My dog lost at least 5 times and he could not find home. Beagles brain is not very well focus on things. They can also make your next doors annoyed too if you leave them alone at home by barking. They are highly energetic dogs while they are small. So you need a house with a garden but with fences. they can chew your goods too. But it will be gone around 2 years age like most of dogs do. Dogs like to chew things when they are young and Beagles also like. Because of their teeth. You can buy them some toys for that but I did not see this solving the problem much. So just let they do it. If you can not cope with it. Just do not have any dog. They also need vaccines ( depends on where you live in because some areas have epidemic problems some not ) periodicly (it also depends on what vaccine brand your vet using because some brands can be every years some 3 to 5 years) and worm tablets when they were young. And sterile them if you like.
Life expectancy is around 12-15 years like most of the dogs. So it means like most of other pets they will die before you do. So be ready for it. It is nature.
They are also recognized breeds from lots of organizations ( like American Kennel Club ) and one of the most famous dog breed.
