About the Breed
This is another popular hound that is somewhat similar to
the Basset, both in terms of appearance and temperament. It,
too, is usually either lemon and white or a tri-coloured combination
of black, white and tan, but its ears are much shorter than
those of a Basset Hound. The origins of the Beagle are relatively
obscure, although it is an old breed that has been kept for
500 years of so. These dogs were developed in Britain, and
here, early in their history, wire-coated individuals were
sometimes known, although today all Beagles are smooth-coated.
There is still some variation in size, although the original
small ‘Pocket’ Beagle, which faded out during
the early years of the present century, is smaller than those
seen today. It stood up to 10 in (25 cm) at the shoulder,
whereas the smallest Beagles today are rarely less than 13
in (33 cm).
The origin of the Beagle is obscure. Queen Elizabeth I hunted
with Beagles and Shakespeare mentioned them. Their work has
always been the hunting of the hare and there are numerous
packs throughout the country. Recently the breed has become
popular as companions. For some time Beagles were the most
popular breed in the U.S.A where the original stock had been
imported from England. A considerable amount of fresh blood
has recently been imported into Britain from the USA, where
a smaller hound is preferred.
Beagles have proved highly adaptable by nature, and packs
have been used to hunt a wide variety of game, ranging from
rabbits in England to wild pigs in Sri Lanka. They may be
accompanied on foot or horseback, and must have regular exercise
if they are kept as pets. Persistent training is to be recommended
from an early age, so as to ensure they will return when called,
if they are running off the leash. Their short coats are easy
to keep in top condition with very little grooming.
