A miniature Foxhound, Tsolid and big for his inches, with the wear- and-tear look of the hound that can last in the chase and follow his quarry to the death. One side note, it is referring to an English Foxhound and the quarry is rabbit and/or hare. Beagles are a moderate breed. If your eye is drawn to some exaggerated portion of the dog, it is not correct. Please remember the drag of this breed is long and low. We have issues with dwarfism in this breed, and you will see some of those characteristics in the show ring today. A 15" body on 13" legs does not make a 13" Beagle. Balance is key! The only disqualification in this breed is any hound measuring over 15" in height. As a judge you should never utter the words, “I did not use your dog because I felt it was too big.” When in doubt, measure! “THE STANDARD REFERS TO A BEAGLE that is solid and big for his inches.” The standard refers to a Beagle who is solid and big for his inches.

  • Can I Show My Dog in AKC Conformation Events?
    Can I show my dog in AKC conformation events? Dog shows can be confusing to the average dog owner, but still many people are interested in learning how to join this unique world. Watching dog shows and competitions on television can be entertaining, and some dog owners wonder if they and their favorite canine could join in the activity and perhaps someday end up famous. The types and numbers of dog competitions are growing and the barriers to entry are low, but depending on which sector you choose to compete in, the barriers to success can be high. The Breed Standard Defines Show Dog Perfection Every dog is beautiful in its own way, whether that be its health, personality, coloring or the lay of its coat. If you want to show your dog at AKC events, you have to accept your breed’s Parent Club’s definition of perfection, which is written down in a breed standard that is recorded with the AKC. Each breed standard is unique and meant to reflect the breed’s original function, whether that be a working heritage like hunting or herding or simply as a personal companion. Breed standards are the same in that they all will mention the same elements, including movement, coat, and head shape, but they also differ in that something that is extremely important in one breed standard many be of minimal or no importance to another. Comparing Your Dog to the Breed Standard Any dog of a particular breed should be fairly well described by its breed standard, i.e.
