Beagle vs Pembroke Welsh Corgi

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.

That long back on short legs is the same chondrodystrophic build that gives Dachshunds their disc-disease problem, and Corgis gain weight very easily — a serious combination, since extra weight is one of the biggest modifiable risk factors for the spinal injuries that can leave a Corgi unable to walk.
