With their hangdog expression, droopy ears and expressive eyes, it’s no wonder that Beagles are one of the best-loved dog breeds around. Gentle and easy-going, they also have a lovely temperament – and, with a bit of training, Beagles are great with children and other animals too.

Although the origins of the Beagle are not precisely known, they are thought to have been with us for many hundreds of years. Believed to descend originally from the hunting hounds of the Romans, they became popular in Britain during the 1800s. In 1890, The Beagle Club was established and the standard followed soon after.

Today, the Beagle is one of the top 10 most popular dogs in the world, according to the American Kennel Club. Also a regular fixture on our screens, they’ve had a starring role in everything from the claymation series Wallace and Gromit and hit TV show The Wonder Years to the children’s movie Shiloh. Notably, there was also Snoopy, the most famous Beagle of all, who appeared in the comic strip Peanuts.
