I am currently looking a getting a puppy. My concern is i have only got a one bedroomed coach house with no garden. Could somebody please give me some advise as to whether a dog would be ok in this sort of spacing?? I was looking at a beagle dog but after doing some reading on these i am unsure if this is going to be a suitable pup for this sort of space.

I certainly wouldn't recommend any breed of dog, especially not a hound, if you have no garden at all. Even a small yard can be enough for most breeds, as long as you like taking lots of walks! You might be able to get away with it if you choose one of the toy breeds though.

I have a friend who  has a Yorkie. Until recently she lived in a one-bedroom flat with no garden . Seemed to work okay for her.

It is possible but takes a lot of work and planning. Our Labs never go in the garden with out us - sadly it is simply not suitable. However we have a park and fields withing 50 yards of our front door and they get at least 3 walks of varying lengths each day. As pups before they were fully innoculated we had a piece of turf right outside the back door for them to use and took them out on the lead, supervised what they did and bought them back in. Where there is a will theres a way, it is just not always easy.

If  you work then I would certainly not consider a beagle.  They need lots of attention.  I dont think not having a garden would be any more difficult than with most other breeds.  Mine is a couch potato and we only lead walk her most days and let her off at the weekends for a long run since she did her disapearing act.  To be honest if you are new to dogs I would not consider a beagle much as I love mine there are days when she would make a saint swear ;)

What you also have to consider when owning a puppy they tend to take a fancy to chewing things, usually chair/table legs especially if the get bored. No matter what kind of puppy they all need a sleeping place, a playing place, and somewhere they can have a good run.
You also have to consider if your working how long the puppy will be left alone, puppy's even more so than adult dogs want and need company, don't forget they are used to playing with their litter brothers and sisters until they go to a new home, therefore turn to the new owners as a substitute play pal.
Don't want to seem hard but from what you say you have accommodation wise, I would suggest if you want a dog for company many rescue homes would only be too willing to accept helpers with dog walking feeding etc, that way you could enjoy having a dog without the worry of a home having a puppy housekeeper to put things in order.
