Do you love your furry friend? You can sketch your dog's portrait when you learn how to draw a beagle.
Beagles are small hound dogs. They are hunting dogs that were first bred in the UK. They may have arrived there with Roman soldiers almost 2,000 years ago. Their name may come from a word meaning "little" or from the sound of the dog's bugling bark.
Beagles are energetic, affectionate, and well-known for their keen sense of smell. In fact, beagles are often used by law enforcement to sniff out prohibited items at airports.
