The Beagle is cheerful, curious and social — a dog that's happy with people, happy with other dogs and basically happy with life in general. But his nose rules: the moment he picks up an interesting scent, the rest of the world is put on pause, including you. That makes him wonderfully sociable and consistently stubborn at the same time.
