We drove 450 km yesterday to get this #beagle boy. A new puppy since 2014. We lost 3 dogs within a year in 2023-2024. We got one rescue dog at november 2023 and now this little fellow. I don't know was it a decision made of common sense or a decision of the heart. Anyway, a good decision after all.

Do you have experience with Beagles? Because you need to know, they'll eat anything, edible or not. Makes for some expensive vet visits.

My wife's sister has one. And we have had many breeds for over 16 years. Thanks ๐Ÿค˜ we know

I had a beagle eat a penny once. Luckily she vomited it up before the expensive surgery though.

She passed away over 15 years ago but I still think about her all the time. She was one of the sweetest dogs Iโ€™ve ever owned. And also one of the smelliest ๐Ÿ™‚

Adorable. I hope you like the sound of barking.

I love my beagle, but I'll never own another. He's so loud. He's finally hit the lazy beagle stage and just wants to cuddle and sleep most of the time.
