The Beagle is an old dog breed, so old that their exact origins are unknown. However, modern-day Beagles' ancestors lived in England around the Roman Empire era or before, and became popular with the rise of fox hunting in the area. Early Beagles were only 8 or 9 inches high and known as Pocket Beagles or Miniature Beagles. It wasn't until later that these tiny dogs were bred into the larger hounds we know today.
Famous Beagle owners include Queen Elizabeth I, Lyndon Johnson, Barry Manilow.
