More about beagles

Beagles are used for hunting. Beagling has been referred to as "the poor person's foxhunting," as a Beagle pack (30 to 40 dogs) is followed on foot, not horseback. The usual quarry is the hare. Beagles are admired by some for the bloodcurdling "Beagle music" they emit when in full pursuit. Beagling, like foxhunting, is banned in England. Drag hunting is another Beagle sport.
