I like beagles for the same reasons.

My grandpa had a pack of beagles. Like 8-9 and they were always pinned up. They never socialized with anyone and my grandpa used to feed them and hunt with them. That's it. I could never go back there to see the dogs when I was a kid.

My grandma said if something ever happened to my grandpa, the first thing she's doing is "getting rid of those damn beagles". Well, when he passed, that's exactly what she did. I got one, my cousins each got one, etc. She was the best dog I ever had.

Now, when people discuss fatal dog bites, the number one excuse for a Pit Bull is that they are "not socialized, caged up, and abused". Well, these beagles were in the same situation and not one ever harmed anyone.
