The Beagle has existed in Britain at least since the reign of Edward III. It is said that Edward III used a pack of 120 of them on the battlefield during the One Hundred Years’ War. The name Beagle may come from the Old English or Welsh word for “small” being “ beag “, or the French word for “open throat” or more idiomatically, “loudmouth”, “ begueule .” During the Renaissance they were used to hunt hares and wild rabbits in Wales and France, and have also been used to hunt wild pig and even deer in Scandinavia, as well as cottontail rabbit in the United States. In both Canada and the U.S. the Beagle was used as a gundog to both seek out and retrieve. Beagles were known as the best hare dog among small hounds. They are small-medium sized dogs today, but during the reign of King Henry VIII, were said to be so small they could fit in your pocket. Beagles in their day were allegedly about 8 or 9 inches tall. This coined the name “Pocket Beagles”, in which King Henry VIII’s daughter Elizabeth I owned many. These “Pocket Beagles” are allegedly extinct, although some claim they crop up in litters once in a while. Beagles are the most chosen dog for animal testing due to their passive and adaptive personalities. During 1954 they were the most popular dog in the United States, and continued to remain on the Top 10 most popular dog breed list for many years. Today, Beagles serve as drug-sniffing dogs, as well as sniffer dogs that search out food in luggage being transferred to the U.S. These Beagles are called the Beagle Brigade. Beagles have been used in numerous films such as Copper from The Fox and the Hound by Disney, comic strips such as Peanuts by Charles M. Shulz, and books such as Shiloh by Phyllis Reynolds.
