A interesting dog: BEAGLE

Yes, this are my dogs. I love them. They're always so happy and they make me smile every day, and every time I look to them.

They're beagles, a very sociable type of dog. They are similar in appearance to theFoxhound but smaller, with shorter legs and longer softer ears. They is tricolor (black, white and brown-orange).

They come from England. They have a good sense of smell that makes of them good dogs to follow trails. Beagles are intelligent, and are popular as pets because of their size, and lack of inherited health problems. These characteristics also make them the dog of choice for animal testing, sadly.

One thing that is interesting to know is that beagles have existed for 2,000 years!! The origin of the word "beagle" is uncertain, although it has been suggested that the word derives from the French begueule (meaning "open throat", "open wide" and "mouth") or from an Old English word "beag", meaning "little." Other possibilities include the German begele (meaning "to scold").

In the past and now, the hunters used this dogs to hunt rabbits, and sometimes they found some poars! And was incredible that this medium-size dogs could catch them.

My fathers gave one of my actually two dogs when I was only 9 years old, and it was Lulu. A cute and special dog. Raig is a puppy of Lulu.
