I've had beagles for more than 20 years. They're great dogs. I didn't see if you've had dogs before or not. So, I want to offer a couple of things.
Beagles are short hair dogs so they're not too bad in the house. If this dog will be outside a lot, spend money on a roomy shelter - something he can call home. Being in the sun, rain, wind all the time isn't any way to live (even for a dog) & a tree is not shelter. Something that cooks like an oven in the sun isn't a shelter either. Make sure it has water, water, water. When it gets cold, it needs to come in - at least to the garage. And pick up its crap often or it may start eating it. Like the guy earlier said, if you're on the run all the time and it will spend more time tied up, I recommend you find it another home.
I apologize in advance if you've already got all this covered. It's just I've had a bad experience in the past where I had to stand by and watch a good dog go to waste & nothing I did changed the situation.

if the dog is an outside dog, bathing often them is not a good idea especially in cold weather. the oil they build up on thier skin helps keep them warm and dry. sometime you just have to let them stinkWe got a beagle house dog and know two other familes close with the same. My wife just called my daughter to do some dog sitting and told her he likes to get under the covers in the bed with the AC on. LOL
He loves to run and needs a long walk everyday. Door gets open and he could be gone for days. Very good watch dog. He howls when he senses jogger/walker on our road. I won't even see the jogger/walker but he let me know ahead of time. Having him makes me feel all lot better when I am away from home.
His nails grow fast and loves to roll in dead stuff so a bath is often.
