Beagle and Beagle pictures

The Beagle has soft brown eyes that betray his warm personality but do not reveal his admirable courage and stamina. A truly trustworthy friend can be found in him and he makes a great family pet as he is eager to romp and play. A good watchdog he can be trained to hunt. He has existed in Britain since the reign of King Henry VIII. During the Renaissance he was used to hunt hare in Wales and France and was known as the best hare dog among small hounds.
The Beagle is affectionate, clean, tranquil and has a harmonious voice. Beagles make excellent family pets and are very sociable with people. Given the right training, the Beagle will make an excellent watchdog.

Beagles are a friendly, versatile breed and fit in well in most homes. They are pack-oriented dogs who tend to bond with everyone in their family (and with visitors). Because they’re outgoing and tolerant, beagles are also particularly good with children—as long as the dogs are not frightened or abused. They socialize well with other pets, especially if they’re raised with them.
