Some dog breeds are easy to train. Others are easy to incorporate into your home and lifestyle. Still others are simply easygoing. And some dog breeds take very little time to groom.

The AKC puts the Beagle on his list of dog breeds with minimal grooming needs. Their medium-length coats shed, but Beagles don’t really need you to groom them outside of a weekly brushing.
