We've got two, about four years old. They'll eat anything, chew on everything when they're young. A kevlar dog bed lasted 2 days. Underground fence works somewhat, use the stubborn dog collar. Rabbit or cat runs thru the yard forget it. They keep the raccoons out of the trash. I don't consider em guard dogs because they sleep when they're not playing. Get a good collar with your phone number on it. When I have mine out (on the farm) I run bells on their collars so I can find them when they're not trailen. Spent many hours of my days looking for them. They're the clown of the dog world. Used to run coonhounds when I was younger, beagles are my favorite now.
