Beagle Profile

Beagles have a long history, but the most famous of them all, of course, is Snoopy, whose delight in food and travel exemplifies the breed. This small, popular trail hound, used chiefly to hunt rabbit and hare, was developed in England. The breed name is thought to have come from the Celtic word beag, meaning "small." In color and outline the Beagle resembles a miniature Foxhound. For purposes of field trialing and conformation judging, Beagles are divided into two sizes: 13 inches and under, and over 13 inches, but not over 15 inches. The Beagle makes an endearing family pet and is especially good with children. The short, hard coat may be any acceptable hound color or combination of colors. The coat is easily kept in condition by frequent rubdowns with a rough towel or hound mitt. Ears should be examined regularly, cleaned, and then dusted with antiseptic powder to prevent infection. Daily outdoor exercise is important to the Beagle, but it should be leashed or confined to a securely fenced yard when outdoors or its nose could lead it away and into trouble. Beagles fit into most households and are good children's companions and watchdogs.
