The beagle is a great, fun loving, canine companion that enjoys long walks and sharing hugs with family members. This hound dog is very smart, does well with training, and has an exceptional ability to bark. There is a down side to the beagle, however, and that’s his enormously expressive bark. The Beagle’s bark is so loud that neighbors could complain. Although you can train the breed to quiet down, you may still want to make sure you have plenty of room for your beagle and no neighbors especially close. Beagles are super smart and do well in crates. The beagle comes from a long line of hunters. They are highly skilled in sniffing out scents. The name beagle comes from “begueule” which means “open throat” which makes references to his exceptional vocal cords.
