Dog Breeds - Beagle
Published in Cats & Dogs News
A medium-sized breed and a member of the hound group, Beagle-type dogs have existed for over 5 centuries. Beagles are scent hounds used primarily for tracking deer, bear, and other game.
They are a loyal breed and most often very well tempered and intelligent, but are stubborn and may be hard to train due to their strong will. Playful and energetic dogs who enjoy long walks, if released a Beagle may follow a scent endlessly and, thus, can be quite difficult to walk, especially when distracted by enticing smells.
Because of their curiosity and spirited temperament, beagles are famed escape artists and humane societies and pounds often pick up stray beagles. With thousands of representatives, each having his or her own personality, Beagles are a favored breed across the country.
