Ask any prospective dog owner what breeds she has in mind, and almost without fail, she’ll include a Beagle on her list of possibilities. Her reasons aren’t hard to figure out. Beagles have so much going for them: They’re cute, they have easygoing personalities, they’re small, they require relatively little grooming, and they’re fun. And did I mention that they’re cute? (I did? Well, no matter. Their cuteness is an attribute worth emphasizing.) But inevitably, even a package that appears as perfect as a Beagle seems to be also contains some imperfections.

We have enough flaws to make us interesting and then some. So, too, does the wonder-dog we call the Beagle.
