In the United States, the Beagle is one of the most popular dogs. The AKC describes the Beagle has happy-go-lucky, merry, and friendly. They have a long breed history of living in packs-hundreds for years, in fact. For this reason, they are naturals when it comes to enjoying the company. Their friendly nature also makes them excellent as family pets.
They are best known for their hunting skills and are often called to work for the United States Department of Agriculture sniffing out contraband items and foods carried across the borders into the United States. Beagles enjoy barking and are curious. They do respond well to training and need lots of exercise.
