As long as you understand what you're taking on. Beagles howl. Snoopy wasn't a joke. They really howl. They're also incredibly cool. My neighbors' beagle bitch used to escape and just come visit. She'd show up on the back porch, and of course be let in. "Don't worry, Cleo's over here. Just came to visit. We'll bring her back when she's ready."

If they went out and she was crying, we'd just go over and get her. "Don't worry, Cleo's with us. She was upset."

A beagle is a pack-dog, and you're gonna be its pack.
