Beagle vs Lhasa Apso

A Beagle's nose runs the dog, not the owner — bred to follow a scent trail for miles regardless of what the handler wants, so unreliable off-leash recall is a breed trait, not a training failure, and a bored, under-exercised Beagle is one of the most vocal and destructive small breeds there is.

Lhasa Apsos were bred as indoor watchdogs for Tibetan monasteries, not laid-back lapdogs, and breed sources are direct that they have low tolerance for rough handling and will nip at children who don't treat them gently — a poor match for toddlers despite the appealing lapdog looks.
