What dog is better- a beagle or a bichon frise?

bishon all the way

Bichon Frise's are easily trainable, but they are very smart and they plan ways to get back at you if you upset them. (Mine pretended to have a limp when we were dog sitting a few dogs for a week so we would pay more attention to her.) The fur isn't that difficult to maintain and they don't shed. They are very energetic whenever you want to play and calm down fairly easily. We got our bichon when I was 4, my sister 2, and my brother was still in the oven. Bichon's are sturdy enough to take the abuse from children and are loving enough not to react. (At least mine was)

Can't imagine a bichon attacking anyone. Beagles are great if you don't mind the constant howling and barking. You do know they are hunters and have a natural instinct to howl and bark at EVERYTHING, lol. You will have to have a good temperment yourself to handle the noise.You will have to decide whether or not if the dog will be strictly an inside or outside dog. Bichon's are great for the inside but with white hair not so good on the outside. I would suggest you go to your local Humane society or animal shelter and check out a dog there. They are usually checked out for temperment before adoption and they try to match the dog with the family, not only will you get the family dog you are looking for you will be saving a life as well.Good luck on your choice either way.

Beagle. They are gentle, sweet, lively, curious, and they just love everyone! They wag their tails a lot! Sociable, brave, and intillegent. Calm and loving. Excellent with children and mostly good w/ other dogs, though dont trust them w/ other non canine pets. They have minds of their own. They are determined and watchful and require patient, firm training. They don't like being left alone. Consider buying 2 if you will be gone a lot. They have a loud baying cry that can be disruptful. They may take off if off leash. They need a brisk walk every day. Otherwise, they are perfect!!

I can't be objective on this one! I've had my Beagle since she was 11 months old (shelter dog). She'll be 12 in June. She's gentle, intelligent, adorable...a great companion and she loves children. She requires minimal grooming and she's quite entertaining, too! BEAGLE!

holy crap beagles smell like sh*t! they poop constantly, i recommend bichon frise highly, plus they look cuter lol.

Here is some good research on both breeds. Read about them, write down all the pros and cons that you may have about each breed as you read about them, compare how many pros and cons that you've written about them, and pick the one that has more pros than cons. :0)Beaglehttp://www.yourpurebredpuppy.com/reviews/beagles.htmlhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beaglehttp://www.dogbreedinfo.com/beagle.htmhttp://www.akc.org/breeds/beagle/index.cfmBichon Frisehttp://www.yourpurebredpuppy.com/reviews/bichonfrise.htmlhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bichon_Fris%C3%A9http://www.dogbreedinfo.com/bichonfrise.htmhttp://www.akc.org/breeds/bichon_frise/index.cfm
