| | Dog Owner's Guide Profile: The Beagle |
 | | Beagle stubbornness should not rule the day; a puppy kindergarten and basic obedience class are in order for the new Beagle owner to learn how to train the puppy to be a well-mannered dog. |
 | | Beagles are relatively long-lived (12-15 years), but they are susceptible to a number of diseases and conditions, including glaucoma, cataracts, retinal atrophy, epilepsy, hypothyroidism, and invertebral disk disease. |
 | | However, pet store Beagles are likely to be high-strung and harder to house train than dogs bred in private homes and kennels by breeders who concentrate on good health, good temperament, and trainability in their puppies. |
