hello
im a last year student at highschool then off to college. i plan on getting a dog within the next couple months and i narrowed it down to a bulldog and beagle. if i cant find a place that will allow animals or if my breed of my dog isnt "suitable" for a college appartment style then i would keep my dog at my house with my parents (who would love it very much) while im off. i was going to ask if you a beagle or bulldog could manage in an appartment life
thanks so much for taking time to look this over i hope to hear from you soon!

Honestly, I think it would be best to wait until you're finished school to get a puppy. First of all, I don't think it's fair to raise any puppy in an apartment while you're busy with school and gone a lot. Secondarily, I don't think it's fair to saddle your parents with the responsibility of raising and caring for it so you can enjoy it on the rare occasions when you're home.

That being said, I think a Beagle would be easier for them to handle if it comes down to a choice.

A Beagle will just be less to deal with. Basically no health issues, agile enough to jump up into the car, and they have less problems to deal with. Your parents wouldn't want to deal with the plethora of issues that can go along with owning a Bulldog.

OK....good question. If you want a Beagle that isn't overly vocal, seek out a breeder who doesn't hunt their dogs. You might look at a kennel who shows their dogs in conformation rather than field trials.

Additionally, if you raise the dog in the house and don't leave it hooked out all day, chances are it won't develop the barking behavior.

It's perfectly fine to ask a breeder any question you feel is relevant to your situation.
