Beagles are small to medium-sized hounds known for their distinctive baying bark and excellent sense of smell. They are energetic, friendly, and affectionate dogs that love companionship and outdoor activities. Beagles are great with children and other pets but can be quite independent due to their strong hunting instincts. Regular exercise is essential, and their short coat is easy to maintain.
