DOG BREED
One of the most well-known scent hounds, this dog is lively, joyful, and sociable. A small canine with a robust and friendly demeanor, the Beagle resembles a miniature version of the English Foxhound. The exact origins of the Beagle are somewhat ambiguous, but it appears to have a long-standing history, possibly stemming from other English scent hounds like the Harrier. In England, packs of small Beagle-like dogs have been used for hunting rabbits and hares since the 16th century, although a standard for the contemporary Beagle wasn’t established until the 1870s. Since that time, the breed has gained immense popularity, initially for hunting purposes and now primarily as a companion animal. This adaptable dog is also utilized by law enforcement agencies for detecting drugs, explosives, and other illicit items. The Beagle's friendly and tolerant disposition makes it a wonderful pet, as long as it receives ample companionship and exercise—being left alone for extended periods can result in behavioral issues. As a typical scent hound, this dog is very energetic and possesses a strong desire to follow scents. If left unsupervised in an inadequately fenced yard or permitted to wander off-leash, a beagle can easily vanish and remain missing for hours. This breed has a very loud bark and can be quite vocal, which may upset neighbors if the barking becomes too frequent. Fortunately, beagles are generally straightforward to train and thrive with an owner who demonstrates affection, assertiveness, and clear guidance. This breed tends to get along well with children who can appropriately interact with a dog, but may not be safe around smaller household pets. Two sizes are officially recognized in the United States, categorized by the dog's height: under 33 cm (13 inches) and between 33 cm (13 inches) and 38 cm (15 inches).
