About Beagle Dog
Origin
The Beagle is one of the most popular scent hounds because of his energy, willingness, and merry, sweet disposition. The breed probably originated as a cross between the Harrier and other hounds in England. The Beagle has been used in packs, alone, and in pairs, for hunting. He has also served as an excellent narcotics detection dog and makes a fine family companion. Because they are fairly uniform in size and small, Beagles are often used for medical experimentation.

The skull is broad and slightly rounded, and the muzzle is straight and square. The black nose has full nostrils for scenting. The long, wide ears are pendant. The brown or hazel eyes have a characteristic pleading expression. The tail never curled over the back. Beagles have a distinct howl/bay of a bark when they are on the hunt. Height: male 14-16 inches (36-41cm), female 13-15 inches (33-38cm). There are two height classes, 13-15 inches (33-38cm) and under 13 inches (33cm).

Temperament
The Beagle is a gentle, sweet, lively and curious dog that just loves everyone! Sociable, brave and intelligent. Calm and loving. Excellent with children and generally good with other dogs, but because of their hunting instincts, they should not be trusted with non-canine pets, unless they are socialized with cats and other household animals when they are young. Beagles have minds of their own. They are determined and watchful and require patient, firm training. A Beagle has a loud baying cry. Beagles have a tendency to follow their own noses. Beagles who are allowed to be pack leaders over their humans can develop a varying degree of behavior issues, including, but not limited to, guarding, obsessive barking, snapping, biting, and destructive behaviors when left alone. These are not Beagle traits, but rather behaviors brought on by lack of leadership and or exercise, from their humans. The behaviors can be corrected when the dogs instincts are met.
