The Snoopy dog.
Beagle puppy
The Beagle is a popular dog breed due to its amicable nature and most likely because of the dog Snoopy in Charles Schultz’s Peanuts comic strips.
The Beagle falls the hound classification of dogs and is similar to the Foxhound. The modern Beagle was probably developed around 1830, although similar beagle-type dogs have existed for longer. They were presumably bred from, the North Country Beagle the Talbot Hound, the Southern Hound and the Harrier. They were originally bred as hunting dogs. Crossbreeding a Beagle with a Pug gave birth to the Puggle.
The Beagle has a highly developed sense of smell. This makes them good sniffer dogs.
Beagles are small to medium sized dogs. They can have a range of colours including bicolour, but the tricolour is the most common. They are usually about 33 – 40 cm in height. Females are usually smaller than males. They have long tails and floppy ears
They are thought to be friendly even-tempered dogs. They make good pets and therapy dogs. They are very excitable. They are pack animals and get on well with other dogs. They are not the most trainable dogs and do not have a high obedience ranking. They can be quite stubborn and are difficult to call back once they have picked up on a scent.
Beagles are prone to a number of illnesses including hyperthyroidism, dwarfism, epilepsy, glaucoma and corneal dystrophy. They are also prone to weight problems if they don’t receive sufficient exercise.
Due to their peaceful nature they are the dogs most often uexperiment on. I think that’s sick!
