Totally agree with terracore's comments above with respect to Beagles!
Had several as a kid growing up in rural Wisconsin.
As Harry Kim once said about stopping lava being "impossible," Beagles would be a close second! And you better love barking and barking and barking and then wait until the howling starts! And the flinging drool with every shake can be quite interesting!
Don't get me wrong now! Beagles can and are great dogs, but...
Also, I'd be a bit leery of that website posted.
It is not really dogs for sale IN Hilo proper, its breeders selling dogs from the mainland. They may be 100% legit and upstanding and all that, but you will find that at a grand plus a dog, expect another grand PLUS to get it here. And it would be 3 months minimum before the dog would qualify for immediate release at the airport.
At any event, check out some of the rescues all over Puna and Hilo. We got our Barney (Jack Russell) from Aloha Ilio Rescue who was a wee 12 weeks old when his owner realized he was going to be too much to handle in a small Hilo apartment. But a nice big fenced in grass covered yard was just what he needed!
Best investment yet: Automatic tennis ball launcher!
