Although beagle-type dogs have existed for 2,500 years, the modern breed was developed in Great Britain around the 1830s from several breeds, including the Talbot Hound, the North Country Beagle, the Southern Hound, and possibly the Harrier.
Dogs are my favourite animals. They’re so lovely. A border collie named Kathy tried to jump up at me a few weeks ago! She licked my fingers first while I was stroking her.

Found this online: The name “Beagle” may have come from the French term “be’geule,” which means “gape throat,” referring to the dogs baying voice. The name may also have come from the dog’s size, stemming from the French word “beigh”, the Old English word “begele”, or perhaps the Celtic word “beag”, which all mean “small”.

Where would the punchline be in French-written newspapers’ funny section and in French-written, comic-reading websites?

The ImTranslator 2.29-Google Translate actually identifies Begle as Haitian Creole and translates it to mean Bellow in English.

Aww, a little ‘Frenchie’. No wonder he’s alway quafing root beer in France during the war.

And here I thought the origin of Beagle (the species) was tied to Charles Darwin.

Well, both are good with cream cheese; one when you eat it, the other when it eats it…

I wonder if Snoopy jumps up? I’ve never seen him.
