💖 Personality & Behavior

Beagles are the happiest dogs! They love everyone and are always ready for a walk. They can be a little stubborn when they smell something interesting – it's like their nose is the boss of their brain! They're super silly and love to make a funny 'awoo' sound! 🐶

🍖 Food & Treats

Beagles LOVE snacks! They'll try to find any treat hiding in the house. It's important to watch their weight because they like food a bit too much! Stick to healthy dog meals and keep the snack jar high up! 🍪
