6. Beagle
Beagles are active family dogs that bring big personality in a small body. Hardy, friendly and sometimes stubborn, the beagle is known for having a big voice and is a friend to kids and adults alike.
Keep an eye on them in your yard, however — they were originally bred to track small game and still have that instinct.
