The most popular hound dog among American pet owners, Beagles are characterized by their long ears set low on their broad heads. They are great family pets. The Beagle’s moderate size enables them to be quick on their feet and easily adapt to rough terrain while their close, hard coats protect them from the underbrush and wilderness. They have an infamous uncanny sense of smell. Take one look into a Beagle’s big brown or hazel eyes and they will melt your heart.
