Well, I ended up having to buy another dog just to keep my beagle settled down and tired. They are very energetic dogs and if your up for walking them once a day you should be fine.

If you let them sit around, they will make a habbit of barking.. When he was a pup he would bark at ANYTHING that passed by.. Now he ignores birds and squirrels which we have plenty of.. Unless he is outside then he'll be barking at all the squirrels.. They have a tendancy to run away also, which makes me sad because someday he could escape for good or get hit by a car..

I witnessed him have a near death experience from this, and it was really scary.. Since I'v gotten a second dog (english bull dog) he has settled down quite abit but still loves to yapp at cars,humans and other unfamilar animals..

I live on a dead end so he doesnt see new cars and people everyday. I have bought an invisble fence for him which was quite expensive but very well spent for my dog because he stays behind his bounderies and is smart enough not to go past the line, he will get a shock and as cruel as it sounds I know it doesn't hurt him that bad. He just yelp's once and steps back..

All in all I wouldn't trade him for any other dog in the world because he is such a caring and loveable dog!
