I brought two tiny yorkie pups into a house with a standard poodle, a westie and a persian cat!! I kept the puppies in my bedroom for the first few days to get acclimated and would bring them out into the rest of the house when the dogs were outside and the cat was in the laundry room. Eventually, as the puppies got stronger I introduced them to the bigger dogs. My westie loves to play with the puppies, but my poodle is a little jealous and I watch him very closely and never leave them unsupervised. My dogs know that I am the leader of the pack and my poodle respects that. The food in the dog bowl is "my food" and they will not growl or bite if another dog eats out of the same bowl.

I am still very careful though and my yorkie is always supervised. (My daughter took the second yorkie to college with her so he is not here all the time)

The cat and the yorkie play very well together and I will often leave them in the same room to keep each other company when I leave the house on errands.

I am sure your beagle will do great if you show him lots of love and affection too and don't neglect him because there's a new baby in the house. It's similar to bringing a new human baby home to siblings. If you get a toy/treat for one the other should get one too.
