Beagle.
Other theories have Beagles originating in Greece,
with their descendants brought to Britain during
the Roman occupation. In the middle ages in
England, there were large numbers of hunting
hounds for trailing hare. It is presumed that the
smaller ones were Beagles. In the 14th Century,
Edward II was a keen hunting enthusiast and hare
hunting became a popular sport.
King Henry VIII kept both Beagles and
Buckhounds, while Queen Elizabeth I, in the 16th
Century took great interest in sporting events. She
had her own pack of pocket Beagles called “The
Singing Beagles”. Other Royals to own Beagles
included James I, William of Orange, George IV
and Prince Albert who had a much-prized strain of
rabbit Beagles.
Colouring of Beagles
There are many variations of colour of the Beagle
and any hound colour is acceptable in the breed.
The colour that most people relate to a Beagle
is the “blanket” tricolour. This is a blending of
black, tan and white, usually with a saddle of
black on the back, tan legs and head, and a white
blaze in the middle of their face. More and more
in Australia, people are seeing tan and white

The Beagle as a pet

The behaviours and traits bred in the Beagle for
