The Naughty Beagles

Beagles are a breed of hound with a muscular body and an extremely good sense of smell. They have a pleasant character, intelligent eyes and curiosity about their environment.

An interesting thing about Beagles' ears is that they reach the end of their nose. These long ears actually capture smells and hold them close to the dog's nose. In this way, they receive as much information as possible. In addition, Beagles are one of the most vocal dogs. They can make three different sounds - a standard bark, a sound they use during hunting and a howl.

Have you heard of the Beagle Brigade? The US Department of Agriculture has such a brigade that "works" at airports. They are trained to look for food in passengers' luggage to prevent the transfer of foreign diseases and parasites.

A Beagle named Elvis was trained to recognize (smell) pregnancy in polar bears. As you probably know, due to their small number, these bears are under protection. He was helpful by smelling pregnancy from the bear's feces. Elvis helps out in zoos in the US. Many polar bears show symptoms of pseudopregnancy. He identifies the presence or absence of conception with amazing accuracy.

Beagles are wonderful pets and can adapt to both apartment life and a home with a yard in the suburbs. They are ideal for people and families who have an active lifestyle and are looking for a loyal friend by their side.
