Welcome to BW! It's smart to come here and get lots of advice before getting a beagle!!
I did want to add that invisible fencing isn't the most reliable for beagles, either. Once they figure out that it only hurts for a second a rabbit, squirrel, cat, etc. may be more than enough to lure them out!
While I agree that it is ENTIRELY up to that specific dog. In general, I don't think beagles SHOULD be trusted off leash! Again, that's not to say that there are not exceptions or extensive training, but if this issue could be a deal breaker, I would say to go for another breed!
