Yeah the more i look at him the more i think purebred beagle. How long have you had him for? Is this your first beagle? Do you have any other dogs?
My girl, Brandy, is 4 & 1/2 years old and a beautiful girl. I can't speak highly enough of the breed. I may have lucked out with my girl (she's some what of a lap dog, is extremely affectionate and devoted, not to mention is great off lead), but i do think they are gorgeous and awesome dogs.
Here's a pic of my girl...
