First I absolutely love beagles, most people hate them because of their bay, but I love to hear them especially when they are sniffing down a rabbit or squirrel. I used to run mine with a guy that trained his to track deer.
Second, they are high energy balls of energy, especially if they are strong with the hunting genes, they will run for days and if you aren't careful they will do anything and everything to get out of a fenced in yard to track. Mine were outdoor dogs and we had to put them in a 6 ft high kennel with a fence on top and a fence 3 feet down around the perimeter because they would escape and I'd have to go out in the middle of the night to go hunt them down.
Third I absolutely love that you have a dog named Moose, just make sure you get Missy fixed ASAP, they are horny little F'ers, I had 2 when I was a kid (13th bday present) Buck and Annabelle, both pure breds from the same litter, needless to say Annabelle was pregnant with her first litter before she was 6 months old, and she wasn't the greatest mom, but she could track anything in her sleep. Buck was just stupid and followed her just to keep his nose in her crotch. If they are going to be indoor dogs, get both fixed, though I hate to see a male dog immasculated.
