 Beagle dog
Beagle breed dog is a a progenitor of all the hunting dogs.
Origin of the beagle and mysteriously lost in the mists of time. Several well-known beagle lovers offered their version of the origin of this breed, so the following notes owned by Captain Otho Paget from Melton Mowbray, England, which is probably one of the first carried away by them. According to Greek historian xenon nofontu, there were hounds, working on the trail, and the Romans adopted many customs of ancient Greece. In England before the arrival of the Romans already had their own hounds, and it is recorded that Pvill, Prince of Wales, a contemporary of King Arthur, had a special breed of superb white hounds. Fans Retriever, setters, spaniels and other breeds argue that creating a hound used these dogs. It seems unlikely, apparently it's actually happened vice versa. Beagle was a progenitor of all the hunting dogs, and two clearly differing breeds were "Haze", or a greyhound, who hunted only by means of view, and Bloodhound, which relied solely on instinct.

In the days of Queen Bess, almost every English gentleman had in his pack of hounds in any type of hunting for prey. Fox at that time game was not considered.

By this time, at the whim of the Beagle dog breeders, there are two types of hounds to hunt the hare: one - the southern hound ", and another - the" northern beagle. The Beagle dog first was slow and cumbersome, while the second was his complete opposite. According to the author at the time, "North beagle was agile and energetic, and does its work so zealously that he Iiuy1 would have remained happy with it.
In the middle of the XIX century Parson Honeywood assembled an experienced pack, demonstrating a mastery of the dogs in Essex. His gang was the basis of the modern beagle, so almost every well-known kennels are the descendants of these dogs.
