The Beagle is a breed of small to medium-sized dog.
A member of the Hound Group, it is similar in appearance
to the Foxhound but smaller, with shorter legs and
longer, softer ears. Beagles are scent hounds, developed
primarily for tracking hare, rabbit, and other game.
They have a keen sense of smell and tracking instinct
that sees them employed as detection dogs for prohibited
agricultural imports and foodstuffs in quarantine
around the world. They are popular as pets because
of their size, even temper, and lack of inherited
health problems.
Beagles appear in a range of colours. Although the
tricolour (white with large black areas and light
brown shading) is the most common, Beagles can occur
in any hound colour. Alongside the Bloodhound, the
Beagle has one of the best developed senses of smell
of any dog.
Origins: The first Beagles date
back to the 1500s. English hunters used
packs of beagles to hunt and track rabbits,
hare, pheasant, quail and other small
animals. The word "Beagle" may have come
from the French term "be’geule," which
means “gape throat,” referring to the
dogs unique and distinctive baying voice.
Description: Beagles are small
to medium sized dogs. Beagles have a square,
compact, slender build. Beagles have small
floppy ears and a prominent snubbed nose.
Beagles have a distinctive "bay",
that is a boisterous "howl",
that is specific to the breed.
Size: Beagles weigh between 20-25
lbs, they stand 13 to 15 inches tall.

Disposition: Beagles are sweet
and gentle natured dogs, but their insatiable
curiousity can get them into trouble on
occassion. Beagles are notorious barkers
and can be disruptive in close quarters.
Type Dog: Beagles are are hunting
dogs. They are scent hounds, bred to hunt
by scent. Beagles are now frequently employed
as detection dogs for prohibited agricultural
imports and prohibited items.
Litter Size: Beagles give birth
to litters of 2-14 puppies.
Behavior: Beagles are energetic
and possess a lot of stamina, the breed
requires moderate exercise and may become
distracted and take off after prey if
not leashed. Beagles may not do well with
other small pets, due to their hunting
instincts, and they can become destructive
if left to their own devices.
Traits: Curious, sweet and gentle

live 12-15 years.
