Breed Information

Official artwork of the Beagle

Modern Beagles are actually a type of hound that originated around 1830. They were used by the English in the hunting of rabbits, particularly for sport. In terms of keen smell, their noses are second only to the Bloodhound. Beagles are very obedient, but they are also incredibly playful; as family pets, they have lots of energy.

Beagles are a large part of popular culture; Snoopy from the Peanuts comic strip, Grape Ape's companion Beegle Beagle, and the superhero Underdog are such examples.

The Beagle is the dog breed most often used for animal testing due to its calm and gentle temperament.

In-Game Description
