Etymology

The name 'Beagle' has a somewhat uncertain origin, but it is believed to derive from the Old French word 'beigh' or 'beagle', which refers to a small hound. The breed has roots in ancient Egypt and Rome, where small hound types similar to the Beagle were depicted in art. They were utilized as hunting dogs for thousands of years, especially in Britain, where their skills in tracking game earned them a special place among hunters. The modern Beagle breed was developed in England in the 19th century, focusing on their ability to follow scents and their friendly disposition. Over time, Beagles have become popular as both working dogs in hunting and beloved companions in households worldwide.
