HISTORY

It is believed that the Beagle originated from ancient Greece and France, as there is much evidence that proves the usage of Beagle-type dogs as hunting dogs during the Crusades. The modern day Beagle’s bloodline is thought to be from the Talbot Hounds. During the British monarchy Beagles were very popular. Edward II, Henry VII, and Elizabeth I were all the proud parents of a Beagle or two. This breed was later bred with the Harrier and other hounds in England that were fearless hunters.
