Beagle vs Miniature Schnauzer

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.

Miniature Schnauzers are unusually prone to forming bladder stones and to pancreatitis, and both are directly linked to diet and body fat — meaning what and how much this small breed eats matters more than in most dogs, not less, despite the size suggesting otherwise.
