History

This breed is the smallest of the hunting dogs. From ancient Greek times. The mixed races of the Rumans and the French have bred this dog for hunting and hunting rabbits. This dog was introduced to England in 1066. At that time, because of its small size, it was often put in a pocket, so it was called a pocket miglu, and now the migluhound is improved from this dog. Queen Elizabeth I, William II, and George III all bred this breed and used it as a hunting dog in the hills of Breden, Saxis. In 1895, the British Miguel Hound Club was established, and it landed in the United States for a few years. Because the Beagle was a descendant of the Harrier in ancient Greek times, it was later trained as a Foxhound, and when chasing prey, it was dispatched in groups and had a good record. It was then used as an experimental animal and domesticated in the laboratory. In the research results using dogs as experimental animals, only the application of Beagle can be recognized internationally. It is now kept at home as a companion animal or in a group as a hunting dog.

Character

Due to its small size, it is easy to tame and capture, and is known as "moving like the wind, quiet like a pine". Cute in appearance, cheerful in character, lovable in action, lively, quick in response, very affectionate to the owner, empathetic, and melodious in bark, it is increasingly welcomed by people and becomes a family dog. However, because Beagles like to bark and make noise when they are in groups, it is best to keep a single one in the family to correct their bad habit of barking. If keeping in an apartment sometimes affects the quietness, it should be trained from an early age to prevent them from barking; vocal cord removal surgery can also be performed to prevent them from barking. Beagles like cleanliness and should be brushed daily to keep them clean.
