News: Beagle History

In what we consider to be a great upset (with the Golden Retriever not even placing in the Sporting Group competition) congratulations to Uno, the first Beagle to ever win the Westminster Dog Show. He also joins a very short list (5 to be exact) of Hound group members to win.

Since the breed winning Westminster often garners increased interest from people looking for a breed to adopt, a few words of warning: please be certain to fully research the breed. While Beagles are lovely dogs, they are known for following their noses right out of your yard. More information on the best and worst traits of the breed can be found at the Seattle Beagle Rescue website

If you are interested in bringing a Beagle into your family, consider adopting a rescue. A list of Beagle rescues is available at Beagles on the Web.
