We used to have 2 Beagle puppies, names Brandie and Sally (my kids named them). They were such good dogs, breed for hunting but great pets too
Beagles are so cute. My Aunt had one named Ginger. The Beagle is an intelligent but single-minded dog. 
Yes, that is for sure. They are popular because of their good temper and aren't known to pass down health problems like other breeds are known for. 
Yes. Beagle type dogs have been around for 2,500 years. The modern breed was developed in Great Britain around the 1830's from several different breeds.
In 2004, K-Run's Park Me In First (funny name) won the Best in Show category at the Westminster show. It was the first time a Beagle has won that. Pretty cool!

The Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show is an all-breed conformation show that has been held in New York City annually since 1877. Currently, the breed and Junior Showmanship competitions are held at Piers 92 and 94, while the group and Best in Show competitions are held at Madison Square Garden. The number of entries is so large at nearly 3,000 that two days are required for all dogs to be judged.

Beagle
The beagle is a breed of small hound that is similar in appearance to the much larger foxhound. The beagle is a scent hound, developed primarily for hunting hare (beagling). With a great sense of smell and superior tracking instinct, the beagle is employed as detection dog for prohibited agricultural imports and foodstuffs in quarantine around the world. The beagle is intelligent but single-minded. It is a popular pet due to its size, good temper, and lack of inherited health problems.
