I designed this page in dedication to my Beagle, Millennium.
Beagles are one the oldest dogs living.
Beagle like dogs were recorded as far back as 400 B.C. in Greece and 200 A.D. in Britain. Small Beagles were even popular with the British Monarchy. When the 1400's came around, Beagles existed in Britain, Italy, Greece, and France. During the 1800's Reverend Phillip Honeywood established his group in Essex, England which is thought to be the main ancestors of the modern Beagle. He was breeding for hunting skills, not looks.
