Beagle dogsBeagles 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. With the rise of fox-hunting, beagles were shunted out of popularity by the Foxhound. In middle of 1800's, 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. The Beagle made its way to North America in 1876. The Beagle resembles a Foxhound in miniature, but the head is broader and the muzzle shorter, the expression completely different and the legs shorter in proportion to the body. They have a smooth skull with a medium-length and square-cut muzzle. The eyes are large, hazel or brown. They also have a strong, medium-length neck, a muscular body and a medium-length, smooth, hard coat. Beagles appear in a range of colours. Although the tricolour (white with large black areas and light brown shading) is the most common.
