About the Beagle
Beagles have ancient roots, with hound-type dogs used for hunting on foot documented in England since before the Roman era. The modern Beagle was developed in England in the 1830s from several breeds including the Talbot Hound, the North Country Beagle, and the Southern Hound. They were bred specifically for hunting hare in packs, a sport known as beagling, and their compact size allowed hunters on foot to keep pace.
