So, you have finally decided to get a dog, and after researching lots of breeds, you are confused between the two very similar yet different dogs, Beagle and Labrador
0:13
Let's look into all the pros and cons between the two breeds and find out which one is better for you
0:22
Before we begin with their differences, let's look into their common personality traits
0:27
Beagle and Labrador are both incredibly affectionate, friendly, and loving. They are gentle and do well with children
0:37
Due to their social nature, both of them are excellent choices for families
0:42
They are active, energetic, and playful. Even after being so similar, Beagles and Labradors are two very different breeds
0:53
Labs are the most popular dog breeds in the USA. They are smart intelligent and family They are easy to train and love to be a part of the family Talking about beagles they are family dogs too They are extremely affectionate and social
1:12
They will always be ready to play with you. They crave human companionship and love to cuddle us
1:19
Still confused? Let's look into more differences. Average adult Labradors are between 21 to 25 inches tall at the shoulder and weigh around 60 to 80 pounds
1:31
whereas beagles can be anywhere from 13 to 15 inches tall at the shoulder and weigh around 20 to 30 pounds
1:39
So, if you are considering size as a deciding factor, then keep in mind that Labradors are larger than beagles
1:46
Both the breeds have a short coat, which requires minimal maintenance. Both of them are easy to groom
1:55
However, beagles have large and droopy ears that need to be cleaned more often
2:01
Vocal Beagles are comparatively more vocal than labs. Beagles have a lot of different voices They bark they bay they whine they howl they cry They are vocal about their feelings If they want something they will let you know by baying or barking
2:20
Temperament. While both breeds have many common personality traits, they are unique in their own
2:26
way. Beagles are energetic and playful. They love to do outdoorsy things with their owners
2:33
and at the end of the day, you can expect them to snuggle in your blanket or curl up in your lap
2:39
They are little cuddle monsters. Labradors, on the other hand, are owner-pleasing dogs
2:45
They are eager to please their companion. Exercise requirement. Both dogs are energetic
2:51
and require daily exercise. No matter which one you select, you will need to take them out for
2:57
walks daily. Intelligence. Labradors and beagles are very intelligent. However, they have different priorities
3:06
As I said, labs are eager to please their owners, so they love to follow commands
3:11
Beagles being a hunting breed are slightly independent They are known for their high intelligence but they may sometimes ignore your command and start following a scent out in the open
3:23
But they never stop surprising you with their smart and cunning nature
3:29
Training. Training a lab is relatively easy due to their eager-to-please personality
3:35
They love to learn new things and follow their owners. Beagles are smart and intelligent

due to which training them becomes much easier. However, they can be a little stubborn every now and then

So, Labrador or Beagle? Which one to choose? The answer to this question depends on your personal preference depending on the above factors
