Took this photograph of one of my son's three dogs. After Rexy a beagle had just finished running around with a Pit Bull and a Jack Russell she was exhausted and was ready for bed. Of course she picked my pillow and my side of the couch to lay on. But since she looked so comfortable and I knew she was going to be out cold soon I allowed her lay on my couch and just fall asleep, plus she is to hard to resist with those eyes staring at you. My son now has three Pit Bulls and this little beagle is the only non Pit Bull that he does not have he gave away his Jack Russell to another family. 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 small game. They have a great sense of smell and tracking instinct that sees them employed as detection dogs for prohibited agricultural imports and foodstuffs in quarantine around the world. Beagles are intelligent, and are popular as pets because of their size, even temper, and lack of inherited health problems. These characteristics also make them the dog of choice for animal testing.
Although beagle-type dogs have existed for over 2,000 years, the modern breed was developed in Great Britain around the 1830s from several breeds, including the Talbot Hound, the North Country Beagle, the Southern Hound, and possibly the Harrier.
Beagles have been depicted in popular culture since Elizabethan times in literature and paintings, and more recently in film, television and comic books. Snoopy of the comic strip Peanuts has been promoted as "the world's most famous beagle.
