since you are moving into condo/apartment, then advise to get a small dog instead of medium size dog - beagle. it is easier for you to sneak in and out. the weight of adult beagle - can vary from 12 to 15KG... some is fat and some is slim. depend to how you feed them. beagle is well know to obesity = eat a lot. so you need to control their food intake. for puppy, you can feed them twice per day and gave them plenty of water (24 hours round). we give them many type of brand. blackwood, eukanuba, eagle pack (holistic), nutro, avoderm... and finally we still prefer blackwood - less smelly on poo and more compact the food pellet. plus smell is nicer. their behaviour, can be naughty (if you didnt train them) but can be very smart and catch up easily when you train them. they can catch up the word and action faster... so im quite impress with our dog - whiskey. you have to buy them more toy - especially nylon bone... so that they can release their stress or bore onto the bone (bitting). they need a medium range of exercise. normally just take him/her out for a walk/jog is good enough. btw, beagle is a hound dog, so dont expect them to become like guard dog - rotti. another thing is when your beagle destroy something, remember always catch them on guard and scold them or give some punishment. if you catch them off-guard, meaning after destroy the thing and when u see him sitting somewhere else, dont punish them. they wont know what they have done. :D they will act blur blur and their face will show soooo sad motion... so make your heart feel "soft" if you want to punish them. ahahaha.
