I have a Beagle. Cute little mutt, right?
She will never come when you call her. I mean, if you are holding a fried chicken drumstick in your hand she might come, but otherwise not.
Beagles are high-strung and love to run around in the woods. I own 48 acres in the NC mountains and this mutt spends 2 or 3 hours a day running up and down these mountains and howling at the moon, or at werewolves, or at some damn thing. I bet Daisy runs 9 miles a day.

In an hour I will take her out for a 2 1/2 mile walk, and after we get back from that she will still go out and run around for 9 miles, howling incessantly.

If you don't have a big place where the Beagle can run around a lot, I would not get a Beagle.
