The Beagle is a fan-favorite hound breed known for its curious, friendly, and playful nature. According to the American Kennel Club, Beagles have long been a popular choice for families due to their gentle temperament and adaptability. Beagles are a small dog breed. 

Originating from England, Beagles were bred primarily for hunting small game, particularly rabbits. They have an excellent sense of smell and stamina. Their compact build, short coat, and floppy ears make them instantly recognizable. Beagles can thrive as both loyal family pets and skilled working dogs. They are an excellent choice for households with children and if properly socialized, they get along with other pets.
