Beagles are small to medium-sized hounds with a distinctive black, tan, and white coat. Originally bred for hunting rabbits, they possess a keen sense of smell and a strong prey drive. Known for their cheerful and playful personalities, they make affectionate family companions. Beagles are energetic and require regular exercise. Their vocal nature, often expressed through baying, should be considered when choosing a living environment.
