Beagle is a hunter dog used for hunting rabbits. It is one of the smallest hunter dog. Beagle has a great smell and is very clever to find the hunted. Since 1950 Beagle is present year by year in top ten most loved breeds in United States.
Beagle’s origin date from 19th century when people use them to hunt rabbits. The breed appeared in British Islands and is believed it is the result of the 
crossbreeding among
Harrier and some others hunter dog breeds.
Beagle’s are hunter dogs with small waist, short hair and long ears. Fell’s color is a combination of black, white and brown. The head is almost flat and is round. Beagle looks like a small English Foxhound.
The Beagle has an even temper and gentle disposition. Described in several breed standards as “merry” they are amiable and not generally aggressive or timid. Beagle enjoy company, and although they may initially be standoffish with strangers they are easily won over. Beagle make poor guard dogs for this reason, although their tendency to bark or howl when confronted with the unfamiliar makes them good watch dogs; in a 1985 study conducted by Ben and Lynette Hart the Beagle was given the highest excitability rating along with the West Highland White, Yorkshire Terrier, Miniature Schnauzer, Cairn Terrier, Fox Terrier and Terrier. Beagle are intelligent, but as a result of being bred for the long chase are single-minded and determined, which can make them hard to train. They are generally obedient but can be difficult to recall once they have picked up a scent and are easily distracted by smells around them. Beagle do not generally feature in obedience trials; while they are alert, respond well to food-reward training, and are eager to please, they are easily bored or distracted.
