Hade two of them back in my single days. Love those dogs.
Thank you everyone!!!! 
Awesome pup. Beagles are renowned for their rabbit hunting specialization. Some may not know that the beagle will trail/run the rabbits in a circle. The hunter can stay put and the beagle does all the work, running the rabbits in a circle back to the hunter.
Rabbit is excellent eating. Sorry for off topic!

My buddy long ago. He was a mix, and thankfully didn't have that beagle howl. In fact he was rather quiet.
Happy Beagle Day to my Beagle loving friends.
Good friends, next door neighbors had a beagle.
I have a hard and fast rule, No Hounds, to darn noisy when the get cranked up.
No dogs with smooshed faces, yes I know boxers are great dogs.
Wifes aunt had a basset, very smelly.

Not off topic. Rabbits naturally run in a circle, the dogs don't force them to do it. If the beagle is too fast rabbits will hole up. One of my beagles came from field trial stock, he was so slow, he'd walk the scent trail, put his nose on each spot the rabbit hopped and raise his head and Arooo. It took forever for the rabbit to come back. I couldn't hunt him with other dogs, they'd circle the rabbit and someone would get it meanwhile my dog was taking his time carefully following the trail as his breeding intended.
Hmmmmm. I think we are on the same page with a difference in semantics. The rabbits naturally run in a circle, but without dogs "forcing" them, it might take a very long while in my midwest experience.
Cant wait to get 30 more Beagles! All girls too. This one now is my everything. She makes me very happy 
All girls too. This one now is my everything. She makes me very happy Great dogs. Their bark is loud and they like to dig. I had a beagle as a kid socks. He buried whole bagels in the back yard.

It would take more fingers than I have on one hand to count the number of times my sister in law's beagle got on the table during a party and started into the treats while backs were turned. I saw that dog eat enough chocolate cake to kill a St. Bernard multiple times over.
I had a beagle corgi mix that was very smart. I had a short stool then a desk that connects to the counter top in my kitchen. She figured out how to jump up onto the stool then the desk then the counter top. I had ordered pizza and had the box lid partially open. She helped herself to a slice of pizza! I couldn't believe it. Pizza sauce on her snout.
