Personal Thoughts: "Mr. Bojangles has snored since we've had him. Only if he sleeps on his back in bed though."

"Boss snores very loudly at times. His loudest is while laying on his back which is his favorite way to sleep. He has snored since I got him."
"The snoring has certainly developed over time. Even though my beagle is only almost 2, he snores louder than my husband (when my husband is sick!) I have to get up and move him around to make him stop!"

57% My Beagle is very possessive of their belongings
39% Mine is possessive of only 1 certain item
4% Mine does not act possessive at all
Personal Thoughts: "For some reason, despite all of the toys that I have for my Beagle, Troy, he absolutely loves a sock! Not just any sock, it is one that he guard with his life, he acts as if the sock is a little puppy that he is taking care of !" * Editor's note: This is "nesting behavior" which can occur with both females and males...it often happens when a female is pregnant, but either gender can show signs of this behavior and it is harmless as long as your Beagle does not act overly aggressive when they are "protecting" their "puppy".

32% He or she only barks if he/she has a reason
18% He or she howls like a wolf !
7% Surprisingly, he or she does not bark a lot
Personal Thoughts: "He barks when the landscapers come into or near our yard with a weedeater or leaf blower. We tell him to be quiet, then say "good quiet" and give him a treat. He stops right away and waits for the next treat."
"Birds, she hates birds and our neighbors feed the local birds and she will bark for over half an hour until they leave. Nothing has worked, ignoring her drives the neighbors mad, calling her up stairs and settling her keeps her quiet but then when I leave she will go back down and bark, telling her no is a stern voice doesn't work. She hasn't been receiving much exercise but that is only because she was spayed a week ago and we don't want to hurt her stitches in any way."
