History of the Beagle and Points of Interest: Beagle-type dogs have existed for over 2,000 years but the modern breed was developed in Great Britain around the 1830s from several breeds, including

the Talbot Hound, the North Country Beagle, the Southern Hound, and possibly In the 1840s, a standard Beagle type was beginning to develop: the distinction between the North Country Beagle and Southern Hound had been lost, but there was still a large variation in size, character, and reliability among the emergingIn 1856, writing in the Manual of British Rural Sports, was still dividing Beagles into four varieties: the medium Beagle; the dwarf or lapdog Beagle; fox Beagle (a smaller, slower version of the Foxhound); and the rough-coated or terrier Beagle, which he classified as a cross between any of the other varieties and one of the Scottish terrier breeds. By 1887 the threat of extinction was on the wane: there were 18 Beagle packs inThe Beagle Club was formed in 1890 and the first standard drawn up atThe following year the Association of Masters of Harriers andBoth organizations aimed to further the best interests of the breed, and both were keen to produce a standard type of Beagle.

number of packs had risen to 44. Beagles were in the United States by the 1840s at the latest, but the first dogs were imported strictly for hunting and were of variable quality and it is unlikely these dogs were representative of the modern breed.

North American activity during World War I was minimal, but the breed showed a much stronger revival in the U.S. than in other countries when hostilities ceased and has ranked in the top-ten most-

popular breeds for over 30 years. From 1953 to 1959 the Beagle was ranked number 1 on the list of the American Kennel Club's registered breeds; in 2005 and 2006 it ranked 5th out of the 155 breeds registered. By 2011 the breeds popularity again took a climb to the 2nd position and remains in the top 5 to this day. Their popularity comes as no surprise as the Beagle is one of the most loving, gentle and enjoyable breeds available. Their outgoing and playful puppy-like personalities make them a joy to be around and their over-all genetic health is very stable. sturdy little dogs make outstanding family pets and hunting dogs which require littleThey can be quite "set in their ways" though with a nose that leads them into trouble so every prospective Beagle owner should understand that a fenced in yard is a necessity. Beagles are separated into two varieties. The under 13" variety and the 13"-15" variety, though it can be fairly difficult to determine which category a puppy will
