Beagle Breed according to the American Kennel Club
The height limit of a Beagle in the United States is 15 inches and in England 16 inches; in addition, there are two varieties of Beagle within the prescribed height: those under 13 inches and those over 13 but at or under 15 inches. Beagles do not drool or have a doggy odor, and shedding is minimal. Beagles are scent hounds used primarily for hunting rabbits to larger hares. The Beagle we know today is the result of select English importation; previous to about 1870 in the US, the little hunting hounds of the South, called Beagles, were more of the type of straight-legged Bassets or Dachshunds with weaker heads than the Bassets.
