I'll admit, reading this thread has been very upsetting for me, so I appreciate Kutya writing this...
My husband and I DID research the breed before choosing to get our beagle, Abby in March last year. We knew having a dog...a beagle, in particular, would be very hard and alot of work - and we thought we could handle it. Unfortunately, we couldn't. We had to give her away last Fall. I posted on here (please feel free to go back and read it) letting you all know how bad I felt about having to do it and I got the most encouraging wonderful replies. Most people said that it was better that we figured it out now than to keep her (selfishly) and for her to be unhappy.
Boy, I see now how most of you REALLY feel about those of us that just can't have a beagle. Thanks. Thanks so much for making me feel AWFUL this morning!
