It don't matter to me, as long as they can lock on and roll. I've never had the opportunity to own a small one, seems to me they always get into the 14-15 inch range.

I like a 14" hound. They can get through the thick cover almost as good as a little dog and can stretch out on the open country runs. You also don't run into conflicts when it comes time yo measure them.

Re: Size of Beagle Preferred …
As a hunter I like a smaller dog. 13-14 in. They can get into thicker brush were the rabbits are. Also they eat less and less clean up. But as a field trailer I like a bigger dog. 14-15 in for increased speed and stamina. They just have longer legs.

I like a 13" dog with a 15" dogs heart.
For obvious reasons easy to keep, less feed,
less mess, can usually out run and out hunt
big dogs in the thick cover. This is just what
I like not always what I'm hunting because I
would never cull a beagle just on size alone

Re: Size of Beagle Preferred … Poll for Magazine Article...
BIg 13's are my preference in all, male and female.
I don't believe size has anything to do with endurance and or stamina. Want to has more to do with that.
I have seen true 13's run bigger ones into the ground at 4-5 hours. There are lines where endurance and stamina are a trademark and most of them are not full 15's.
Run what you enjoy and respect what others enjoy as well!!!
