HISTORY
The lineage of the Beagle can be traced all the way back to 5th century BCE, when ancestors of the breed served as hunting dogs in Ancient Greece. Fast-forward a couple thousand years, and the Beagle has solidified its position as one of the most popular breeds among American pet owners.
PERSONALITY
Beagles are widely considered to be good with other pets and children. They are cheerful dogs that like affection. They prefer company, however, and if left alone, may howl and be destructive. According to one consumer's guide on dogs, beagles also top the list for excessive barking and can be difficult to housebreak and obedience train.
LIVING WITH
Beagles also are friendly little dogs. Don't depend on them to guard your house. They may bark, but are unlikely to do much more than wag their tails if confronted with an intruder.
Their short coat is remarkably easy to care for and requires minimal grooming and only occasional bathing. Once past puppyhood, some beagles seem to easily become overweight, so watch the caloric intake. The beagle's life expectancy is about 12 years.
