Need help with a new dog

[00tec]

I am not a dog person, didnt want one, but I am married.

That being said, a beagle or basset, or even a mix of the two is just the right amount of weiner dog mixed with big dog that won't be abducted by your local owl. To top it off, I CANNOT make our beagle/basset mix bite me. A kid could punch him in the eyeball and he would walk away.

ETA: We have a 50+lb beagle/something(basset) that is peaceful as hell. Will not bite ( Ihave tested this), but will growl if he needs to. He is even terrified of our 2lb parrot and will not attack her. Dog even brought a baby pigeon into the living room witbout hurting it (just wanted to sniff it). Problem is that he does not appreciate being left alone.
