This breed belongs to the sporting hound category and it is considered as a medium-sized dog. PetMD mentioned that the Beagle looks like a Foxhound. As mentioned, hunters can easily bring a Beagle because of its size because they can just carry it to the hunting site or follow it on foot. When digging to look for its target, the Beagle is protected by its thick underbrush from its coat and coarse. “And being an amicable dog makes it a great pack hunter, mixing well with other dogs,” PetMD added. In addition, this breed has a lifespan of 12 to 15 years.
