First, be aware that the average life span of dogs is increasing, just as the average human life span is. A dachshund that is well cared for usually now lives to be 14 or 15 years old; many live longer. Second, all dogs require regular medical care, including annual physical exams, inoculations, heartworm tests and preventive medication, and dental care. Third, illness and debility affect dogs of all ages.
Beagles are good with children of all ages.. Beagles are a small to medium sized dog (generally 10 to 15 tall and 15 to 30 lbs....ours are usually right at or under 13, though) with short hair and good health. The average life span of a Beagle is 12 to 15 years. They are fairly minimal shedders, which is another benefit of owning a beagle! In fact, chocolate tri and lilac tri beagles shed even less than the other colors in our experience, but even the normal tri-colored beagles are fairly low in shedding.
