While maybe I wouldn't argue that as a breed they are the geniuses of the canine world, they are certainly not stupid! Like you said, stupid owners! But what gets me most isn't that she thinks Beagles are stupid, but that some stranger would just walk up and basically say, your dog is stupid! Some people!

A border collie on the other hand, which is said to be the most intelligent dog is only smart because it does what its told. Now that's stupid.

If tenacity at figuring something out is a sign of intelligence, I take back what I said!!! I would DEFINITELY argue that Beagles are geniuses of the canine world!!! You are certainly right, though, Beagles work out how to do something!!!

Ya know, in many states hunting deer with dogs is no longer legal. Know why? Beagles were so darn good at it that it was lowering the deer populations more than they wanted to!! IDK if that is the absolute truth, but that is what I have heard many, many times! It's all about what a dog is bred to do, right?
