<< Our border collie is sooooooo lonely since we had to put his buddy to sleep. So, we are thinking about a little beagle. Do any of you have any experience with the beagle breed or know of any breeders??? We are located in sunny California... >> Hi Laurie- I have lots of experience with Beagles, as a professional pet sitter! I love them, but don't know if I'd want one for myself. They are lively, active, attentive dogs. On the bright side, they love to be with you all the time, love walks, loving etc. On the other side, they do not like to be left alone and may bark. Many Beagles have a VERY loud "bay," somewhat different from a bark, and very irritating to neighbors. They always follow their nose, and will run right in front of cars to follow a scent. Needless to say, that leash has to stay on all the time! I could say lots more, but won't bore the list folks with dog stuff. You can email me privately if you want more Beagle talk : ) Brigid
