    The beagle is a breed of small scent hound, similar in appearance to the much

    larger foxhound. The beagle was developed primarily for hunting hare, known as
    beagling. Possessing a great sense of smell and superior tracking instincts, the
    beagle is the primary breed used as a detection dog for prohibited agricultural
    imports and foodstuffs in quarantine around the world. The beagle is intelligent
    and is a popular pet due to its size, good temper, and a lack of inherited health
    problems.

    The modern breed was developed in Great Britain around the 1830s from several
    breeds, including the Talbot Hound, the North Country Beagle, the Southern Hound,
    and possibly the Harrier.

    Beagles have been depicted in popular culture since Elizabethan times in literature
    and paintings and more recently in film, television, and comic books.
