I was also going to add, I am from Australia and our beagles tend to come from English lines so you would never see a beagle of the American hunting type in our show rings.
However, the issues I see in the OP's beagle, seem to be that her legs are too long, the AKC breed standard says the back should be short, muscular and strong. It is a fault for the hind legs to lack a muscular look, and it is also a fault to have a long back or narrow hips. From the picture (it is hard to tell without seeing the dog in a proper stack) it looks like the bitch is lacking a deep enough chest.
If you look at Uno our favourite beagle, you will see how he is a nice solid little dog with good muscle definition and a nice deep chest. His legs are nice and thick and when he stands his hocks are straight and have good angulation. Whilst it is hard for me to look past the Australian beagle standard (one of the biggest differences in our dogs is the muzzle and head on the dog, the American beagles have a longer thinner face) I wouldn't think the beagle we're looking at here is of a particularly good standard. There are a lot of other issues I would want to look at too before I could really make a judgement, like the lines the bitch has come from and what sort of progeny and type is produced.
For something a bit different, this boy is an Australian Champion here. What a difference in type between American and Australia/English beagles! Isn't it interesting?

And a bitch that has similar lines to my female, Daisy:
