Beagle puppies for sale in British Columbia

Breed history

The Beagle is an ancient breed that traces its roots back to Roman times, when similar small hounds were used for hunting small game like rabbits and hares. Modern Beagles, as we know them today, were developed in England during the 19th century through a combination of hounds, including the Harrier and other small hunting dogs. Beagles were bred for their keen sense of smell and strong hunting instinct, making them excellent scent hounds. Their compact size, boundless energy, and determination to follow a scent have made them popular hunting dogs for generations, and today, Beagles are cherished as both hunting companions and family pets.
