BEAGLE.

This is a dog that originated in England and was used for hunting rabbits.   It is a very intelligent, good-natured animal that is easy to train.  It also has a very good sense of smell.

Although smaller than most hunting dogs, standing only about  14 inches in height and weighing less than 30 pounds, it is nevertheless  a sturdy animal.  It has a white coat with black and tan markings and large, hanging ears.

This playful breed that was popularized though the  “Peanuts” comic strips, that featured “Snoopy”, makes a delightful family pet because it is particularly fond of children.
