Benefits
Affectionate: Beagles are naturally lively and unafraid of life and love to be close to people.
Highly obedient: Beagles love to be close to their humans, so it is easy to train them to become famous dogs with a little discipline.
Keen sense of smell: The Beagle's nose is even better than other medium-sized dogs, so it has been trained to be a drug detection dog, and can often be found in airports around the world working with people to filter passengers for drugs.
Good Athleticism: Beagles are known for their strength and stamina among hunting dogs, so they are a great choice for people who like to walk or exercise with their dogs.
Good health: According to the American Veterinary Medical Association and the American Kennel Club, the Beagle has the lowest incidence of disease among medium-sized dogs, so with good breeding there is usually no problem with illness.
Disadvantages
Loud barking: The Beagle's nickname is the "Forest Bell". In ancient times, the Beagle's ability to shout to warn its owner was originally an advantage, but has become a disadvantage. The Beagle is an alert breed, so it tends to yell when the wind blows, which is a nightmare for people who live in apartment buildings.
Overeating: The Beagle is a standard big eater. Some experts have found that Beagles will eat no matter how much food they are given, and will not stop until their stomachs rise. Eating too much and becoming obese can often lead to cardiovascular disease in Beagles, so controlling food intake is a major concern.
Active: Although the Beagle's liveliness brings affinity and sunshine, the Beagle's physical energy is excessive and may cause destructive behavior if not expressed properly.
Easy to forget: Beagles often play like wild horses and are not controlled by their owners, so special attention should be paid to the emotional control of Beagles.
Curiosity: The Beagle's curiosity is the highest in the dog world, and he will scratch and bite at anything to be sure. However, the Beagle's teeth are very sharp, so it is often unbearable after being scratched by it; in addition, the Beagle has too much physical strength, so the furniture and other household items may suffer if they are not properly controlled and playful.
Although the Beagle has many shortcomings, all of them can be corrected through education. If you start training at a young age, the bad habits will gradually change.
