Beagle Mix -
rescues, kennels
The breed’s history is not studied yet, but it’s known that packs of similar small hounds hunted with the Greeks as long ago as 400 B.C. The dogs were introduced to England in Roman times around 200 B.C. and crossbred with local hounds. The breed was specially developed to kill rabbit and hare. The breed was probably called so after a French term meaning “gape throat.” One of the breed’s ancestors is Foxhound. You may adopt a beagle mix from rescues or find one at some kennels.
