Hunting Beagles

Hunting beagles: Man's best friend, varmint's worst enemy.

You may be surprised to find out that many beagles are bred especially to be hunting beagles. The ability to hunt is not a typical stereotype of the beagle dog that Charles Schultz brought us all to love, but the fact is that beagles have great noses and when properly trained are very effective hunting dogs. In the US most beagles are used to hunt small game, such as rabbits and occasionally even coyotes. The beagle is used very successfully to hunt, and is also used by many customs officials to sniff out contraband in airports and other travel ways.

Hunting beagles may have been bred especially to hunt, but that doesn't mean that they can't be great pets as well. You would not want hunting beagles for a pets unless you were going to use it to hunt, because of its innate behavior, but the lovable qualities of the hunting beagle make it an acceptable pet under most circumstances. The hunting beagle is typically slightly more hyper than the regular beagle, and has keener senses, which means he will react more to any type of stimulus. If hunting is an activity that you enjoy then there is probably not a better combination pet and hunting dog out there for you than a hunting beagle.
