I ADOPTED A SMALL BEAGLE WHO WAS USED TO BREED ONLY AND WAS NEVER A "PET". SHE HAS BEEN WITH US FOR 2.5 YEARS, AND WHILE SHE IS MUCH IMPROVED SINCE DAY 1, SHE WILL NEVER BE LIKE A "REGULAR" PET. SHE IS VERY SWEET AND VERY SKIDDISH (UNLESS YOU HAVE FOOD) YOU CAN'T PICK HER UP...SHE WILL NOT COME TOO CLOSE TO ANYONE...BUT SHE WAGS HER TAIL MORE THAN ANY "REGULAR" DOG I HAVE EVER KNOWN.

i agree,i adopted (unknowingly) a beagle who started seizing after 3 days with us. he had an average of 1 per week (6 before vet put him on meds) we did not have the heart to "return" him as they probably would have euthanized him...he still has break through seizures.(the shortest span was 40 seizure free days,90 was the longest)...sure beats 1 a week...but he is a very sweet boy...you just feel so helpless and bad for them...as they are unaware what is happening to them.
