Dachshounds Were Also Originally Bred For Hunting And The Chase, Although Decades Of Breeding And Inbreeding For Show And Comformity Has Bred Most Of That Drive Out Of Them, The Beagle In Your Pup May Very Well Bring It To The Forefront.

I Can Let Ginger (my Beagle) Run Free In The Yard As Long As I Am Within Eyesight And Earshot, But I Definitely Can't Let Her Run Free Unsupervised, She Will Be Off Hunting Before I Know It.

It's A Crapshoot For You, If You Really Have Free Range Of Acres You May Not Really Have An Issue If He/she Were To Take Off On An Occassional Excursion. They Always Come Back!
