Beagles are characters. My current dog is a tricolor too. Shoulda bought her brother at the same time.

Sure don't like water like our Golden did.

Our beagle seems more clannish, which I kinda like. Golden loved everybody. Beagle has a definite circle of people in mind that are allowed to pet her. Don't mean she don't like you if she doesn't let you, just means you're not in the circle.
