However, as much as they’re as cute as a teacup, the Beagle is a type of hound and tends to portray its independent streak every now and then.
They are scent hounds that look a lot like foxhounds and can wander during the course of trailing scents. Because of their noses and brains acting in unison, Beagles were and are still used to retrieve small animals like rabbits during a hunt.
