The actual origin of the Beagle seems to be obscure with no reliable documentation. The turning point for American Beagles came in the 1860s, when dogs from a well-bred strain in England were imported to inject beauty into the breed type. Then in 1888, the National Beagle Club was formed and held its first trial.

Beagles are still used today for hunting in packs, but are equally prized for their companionship, courage and stamina. Their compact size, short easy to care for coat and intelligence make the Beagle an excellent family dog.
