Beagle
Small
Great Britain
The Beagle breed is a member of the hound group. They are very similar in appearance to the Foxhound, but are smaller with shorter legs, and with longer, softer ears. Beagles are scent hounds used primarily for hunting rabbits to larger hares.
Beagle dogs in general tend to love social interaction with people, and children especially. Well bred and socialized beagles are very gentle with youngsters, and they can be wonderful companions for older children as they typically enjoy attention, rough housing, and interactive activities such as playing ball.
