Beagles are small to medium-sized dogs known for their friendly and curious nature. They have a keen sense of smell, which makes them excellent scent hounds. Beagles typically weigh between 20 to 30 pounds and stand about 13 to 15 inches tall at the shoulder. Their short, dense coat comes in various colors, including tri-color, lemon, and red and white. Originally bred for hunting, Beagles are energetic and require regular exercise. They are social animals that enjoy being around people and other pets. Due to their intelligence, Beagles can be trained, but they may also exhibit stubbornness, making consistent training important.
