I guess we have spoiled her- we love her so much- and she is such a sweet and smart dog. She loves our cats that she has been raised with and all the regular family members & friends that come to our house- but I think she thinks she is human like one of us. When we walk her in the neighborhood, she barks and tries to attack other dogs, even when they are curious about her and they clearly want to be friends. Will she even want to have sex with a male dog, when we find the right one?

I appreciate all the thoughtful answers. Some of you were rather hateful. I never said I was "a breeder," and you really need not answer if you aren't going to listen to the whole question. Money is the furthest thing from my mind. I want to create puppies from her because she does have good qualities- she is sweet and beautiful, (which is more than I can say for some people who answered my question, or rather, didn't) and when she is gone, I want to have something from her. I am all for spaying and have been a volunteer with the SPCA for years, and have saved numerous cats throughout my life. It is a good decision to let this dog have one litter. We already have at least 6 people who want them. So for whoever called me irresponsible and stupid, well, you have spoken for yourself.

Funny, I have the complete opposite prob with my Beagle. She is the town doggy whore. LOL. We dont let her get any, but man, she ges Nuts around other dogs. I was watching Cesar Millan on NG last night and he has the same prob with a puppy that didnt like humans or dogs. What he did was when the dog growled or braked, he took two fingers and poked the dog in the chest. This made the dog snap out of agression mode. He kept on it and evenually the dog realized that acting that way caused a negative reaction and eventually calmed down. Its not meant to be painful just to kick it out of that mode of thinking. You have to be assertive with animals. I love my dogs very much but if you spoil them, then they learn no boundaries. Discipline first, love as a reward. Humans have to earn your love and respect, so should your pets.
Hope this helps. Good luck.

My first comment would be that you have really got to get your dog under control first before you even begin to think about breeding. Does your dog come by this naturally? In other words does his family breeding line act the same way? If so, I would highly suggest that your dog NOT be bred. I say this because a responsible breeder will not breed to or from an ill tempered dog. That is why some breeds get a bad rap is because of irresponsible breeders. If your dog is just plain spoiled I still recommend that it get obedience training. I believe obedience should be taught to every dog no matter what. If you are in this for the money please don't do it. Us breeders get a bad rap as well as the breed its self for puppy mills and such. We try to give them as little as possible chance to breed their dog to any dog at all. Still they do find a way. If your dog is however well mannered and you believe you know what you are doing when you have these puppies then go for it. Artificial insemination or a good strong muzzle will work

Sounds like you would love a Husky mix or Labrador mix. Labs are always great pups and dogs in general and Huskies follow the same way. They are both smart breeds as well as easy to maintain. Loyalty of these two breeds is great. Between the two I would try and find a Husky mix because they are beautiful dogs and very smart. Both breeds are social too and easy to train and raise. I have raised 1 Husky terrier and 1 Lab mix. Both of them are like sisters despite a 5 year age difference and they are smart enough to work as a team... rascals! Raising a husky puppy would be such a fun experience, yes you might lose sleep but they are so cute as little ones.

Have to agree that breeding an aggressive dog is a bad idea -- it doesn't matter if the reason is a lack of socialization or inborn...this is NOT A PERSONALITY TRAIT THAT YOU WANT TO PASS ON.
Think about the people with her puppies who will have to deal with the exact same problem.
As someone else said, Beagles were bred to work in a pack -- this means that they should, by their very nature, get along well with other dogs. I work, show, and breed Siberian Huskies (another breed developed to work in a pack, or team), and dog-aggression is absolutely not tolerated, much less bred. Even a poorly socialized Siberian will get along well with other dogs. The same is true for Beagles, or any other pack/team-working dog.
Rethink your plans. I know you love your dog, but that doesn't mean that she needs to be bred. Be responsible.

Work with your dog now on obedience training and get the problem under control.
Do not breed a dog aggressive dog. Tempermant is passed on to the offspring and why bring another problem dog into the world.
Get yours to the point where she can learn to behave around other dogs. Stop spoiling her it is not good for the dog and makes for an unstable unhappy dog.

PLEASE don't breed your aggressive dog! You are likely to have a whole litter of aggressive dogs and that is not fair to the unsuspecting puppy buyers, not to mention how miserable the pups are likely to end up. Temperment is often genetic. Beagles are suppose to have very sweet and soft personalities and live in a PACK with other dogs!

Why breed???For money.There are thousands of dogs being put down every day in every state,why add more.Get a dog from a shelter and save a life.Watch the "DOG WHISPERER" on the animal channel.Your dog needs to be socialized ,that all.

Artificial breeding is your best option. Trying to force a natural breeding when she is not comfortable is very stressful for her and might make things worse. Also, you have to be careful with an aggressive dog. She may not be a good mother.

hnmmm..
I guess the best route (most considerate to her) is to patiently try to find a male dog that she likes and wants to be around. That could end up really frustrating. Perhaps you should wait until your next female beagle, and don't spoil that one...

How about not breeding her. the purpose of breeding is to pass good traits on, if she is aggressive to other animals she will pass this on to her pups. not to mention the puppy problem in the world. Do not breed her. that is just my opinion which is well educated.
