They are intelligent, determined and courageous, but often also have an idiosyncratic character. Beagles are great companion dogs but can also be alone for a while. They have a balanced temperament and show no fear or aggression. Their indomitable enthusiasm is contagious. In short, the Beagle is a great family dog!
