History
Beagles have been around for centuries, perhaps even millennium, as records show Beagle-type dogs as early as 400 BC. In the 14th century beagles became very popular within the British monarchy. Pocket Beagles, only nine inches tall at the withers, were kept by Elizabeth I, and there are references to Glove Beagles, dogs small enough to fit on a gloved hand, being kept in packs by Edward II and Henry VII.

With the rise of fox-hunting, beagles were shunted out of popularity by the Foxhound. And if not for the dedication of a few English farmers, we may have lost this breed altogether. In mid-1800's, Rev. Phillip Honeywood of Essex, England, established a pack of what is thought to be the precursor to the modern Beagle. A dog with very strong hunting skills. A fellow Englishman, Thomas Johnson, took Honeywood's dogs, and bred them to have looks as well as hunting ability.

The Beagle made it's way to North America in 1876, and received official recognition by the American Kennel Club in 1886.

About the Beagle: 
The Beagle is a sturdy, compact hound, with short, dense fur in a distinctive tri-colour pattern. Beagles should not be over 15 inches in height, in either class, and should retain that "puppy-face" throughout their life. Eyes are large and dark brown, and it's ears should be long with a rounded tip.

Beagles are amiable hounds, with neither aggressiveness or timidity. They make excellent hunting hounds as the drive to track small game is very strong. Because of this alertness and drive, Beagles are very popular in Field Trials.

These dogs do best in a working home, and can be extremely stubborn. Intelligent hounds, they can be somebody's ideal companion and hunting partner, or somebody else's house pet nightmare. Beagles have a tendency to gain weight. Exercise, and lots of it is imperative, as well as proper feeding.
