Training ability of a Golden Retriever and a Beagle
Golden Retrievers are very easy to train. They have a natural sense to learning and obeying orders given by their masters. They are a very intelligent breed of dog.
Beagles, on the other hand, are not so easy to house train. They belong to the hunting breed. Hence, they would rather follow their smell and senses and not their master's command.
Energy Level
Beagles are comparatively more energetic, and they have more stamina. They are always active and looking for playtime.
Golden Retrievers have a very enthusiastic personality, but their energy level is not as high as that of a Beagle.
Grooming
Golden Retrievers shed a lot throughout the year because of their long furry coat. But the shedding is the most during the winter season and spring.
A Beagle's hair shed goes unnoticed because their hair is very short in length. Their hanging ears tend to trap dust, and thus they require regular cleaning sessions.
Life Span of a Beagle and Golden Retriever
A Golden Retriever is known to have an average life expectancy of about 10 to 12 years. A Beagle is known to have a life expectancy of 12 to 15 years.
