About Beagle
The Beagle's name may have come from the French word "beugler", which means "to bellow", referring to the breed's distinctive barking and baying voice. Alternatively, it may have come from the Old English word "begele", meaning "small". The Beagle originated in England and was used for hunting hares (beagling). The breed became popular in the United States after the Civil War and is known for its excellent sense of smell and friendly, curious nature.
