Basically your, exceptionally active, dog is going to be on it's own (possibly crated or locked in a laundry at first) for 10 or more hours a day? I hope she has a overabundance of toys, kongs, raw meaty bones etc... to keep her occupied. As well as a huge amount of exercise before you leave work and after you get home. Because otherwise you're going to have problems.

I don't mean to sound critical...I just think it's important you understand how long she (a pack animal) will be on her own and how that can be a problem for a dog that is as active as a beagle.
