1400s in Britain. The first imports to the United States appeared around 1876. They were brought here by General Richard Rowett, who lived in Carlinville, Illinois. He bred many fine hounds from his imports and they were in great demand all over the United States. By the late 19th century, the National Beagle Club of America was established with its first Speciality Show taking place in 1891. The breed was divided into two varieties in 1928. The varieties are “not exceeding 13" in height” as measured from the floor to the top of the withers and “over 13", but not exceeding 15" in height”. The first Beagle standard was accepted by the American Kennel Club in 1884 and was the first breed standard of the AKC. The standard was revised in 1957 and is the one “BEAGLES ARE AN we still use to this day.

Official breed club in Finland, Finnish Hound Association – Suomen Ajokoirajärjestö - Finska Stövarklubben ry versio b//SAJ/ Auli Haapiainen-Liikanen 24.12.2014 proved History of the breed In Finland in the beginning of 19th century there were in addition to the Finnish country dogs also many dogs resembling the European hound breeds.The systematic development of the Finnish Hound breed can be said to have begun when hunting enthusiasts established Suomen Kennelklubi, a precursor of the Finnish Kennel Club, in 1889. One of their first desires was the development of a hound-type breed for Finnish conditions. As the breeds introduced to our country from abroad, primarily Russia, Sweden and England, did not meet the requirements of the Finnish hunting community, a group of active hunters began to search the existing Finnish dog population for individuals with the best hunting traits. The aim was to breed a native hound-type dog from them. The first standard was written in 1932. The breeding associations in different parts of the country were very important to the development of the breed. Three dogs were selected from the first dog show arranged by Suomen Kennelklubi and eight more were added the next year. The first breed characteristics were determined on the basis of these dogs in 1893. Reddish brown was confirmed as the approved colour.

Info Relative to the Beagle Breed
Information Relative to The Beagle Breed by Ardie Haydon Copyright© 1996 PERSONALITY The Beagle is a small scent hound, bred to track rabbit and hare while the hunter follows on foot. They are short coated and usually a sturdy little hound. They come in two varieties: 13" (not exceeding 13" from floor to top of withers) and 15" (over 13" but not exceeding 15" at the top of the withers). Any hound color is acceptable. You will see a great variation in their hair color, although the most common are black, tan and white (tri), lemon and white, tan and white or blue-tick with a lot of dark ticking on the white parts of the Beagle. The purebred should always display white feet and white on the tip of the tail and usually a white chest. Some Beagles do have some brown ticking on the white areas, but this does not mean they are a blue-tick. Some are very dark with hardly any white markings at all. Because Beagles are scent hounds, they can be roamers, if not confined to an escape-proof yard. Fences should be high enough to prevent climbing and secured at the base to prevent digging out. Gates should have good latches and be child-proof, preferably locked. However, not all Beagles are climbers or diggers. This usually happens if they are left outside without any attention from the family or other dogs. They do best as an indoor/outdoor dog and should sleep indoors at night. Beagles are very inquisitive and active during their first 1-1/2 to 2 years.

Black and Tan Coonhound
FEDERATION CYNOLOGIQUE INTERNATIONALE (AISBL) SECRETARIAT GENERAL: 13, Place Albert 1 er B – 6530 Thuin (Belgique) ______________________________________________________________________________ 04.10.2002/EN FCI-Standard N° 300 BLACK AND TAN COONHOUND This illustration does not necessarily show the ideal example of the breed. 2 ORIGIN : USA. DATE OF PUBLICATION OF THE OFFICIAL VALID STANDARD : 30.01.1991. UTILIZATION : Hound. FCI-CLASSIFICATION : Group 6 Scent hounds and related breeds. Section 1 Large-sized hounds. Without working trial. GENERAL APPEARANCE : The Black and Tan Coonhound is first and fundamentally a working dog, a trail and tree hound, capable of withstanding the rigors of winter, the heat of summer, and the difficult terrain over which he is called upon to work. Used principally for trailing and treeing raccoon, the Black an Tan Coonhound runs his game entirely by scent. The characteristics and courage of the Coonhound also make him proficient on the hunt for deer, bear, mountain lion and other big game. Judges are asked by the club sponsoring the breed to place great emphasis upon these facts when evaluating the merits of the dog. The general impression is that of power, agility and alertness. He immediately impresses one with his ability to cover the ground with powerful rhythmic strides. Considering their job as a hunting dog, the individual should exhibit moderate bone and good muscle tone. Males are heavier in bone and muscle tone than females. IMPORTANT PROPORTIONS : • Measured from the point of shoulder to the buttocks and from withers to ground the length of body is equal to or slightly greater than the height of the dog at the withers.

Pollet and R. Triquet. Official language (FR). ORIGIN: Belgium. DATE OF PUBLICATION OF THE ORIGINAL VALID STANDARD: 13.03.2001. UTILIZATION: Scent hound for large game venery, service dog, tracking dog and family dog. It was and it must always remain a hound which due to its remarkable sense of smell is foremost a leash hound, often used not only to follow the trail of wounded game as in the blood scenting trials but also to seek out missing people in police operations. Due to its functional construction, the Bloodhound is endowed with great endurance and also an exceptional nose which allows it to follow a trail over a long distance and difficult terrain without problems. FCI-CLASSIFICATION: Group 6 Scent hound and related breeds. Section 1 Scent hounds. 1.1 Large sized hounds. With working trial. BRIEF HISTORICAL SUMMARY: Large scent hound and excellent leash hound, with very ancient antecedents. For centuries it has been known and appreciated for its exceptional nose and its great talent for the hunt. It was bred in the Ardennes by the monks of the Abbaye de Saint-Hubert. It is presumed to descend from black or black and tan hounds hunting in packs which were used in the 7th century by the monk Hubert, who was later made a bishop and who when canonised became the patron saint of hunters.

This usefulness must be confirmed by the relevant working trials. FCI-CLASSIFICATION: Group 6 Scenthounds and related breeds. Section 2 Leash (Scent) hounds. With working trial, which take note of the relevant hunting requirements. BRIEF HISTORICAL SUMMARY: All Liam Hounds (Leithunde) and Leashhounds (Schweisshunde) are descended from the original hunting dogs, the “Bracken”. All pure “Bracken” have the finest nose for following ground scent and trail; they are firm on scent, have a strongly developed will to follow a trail and are readily giving tongue on scent. Only the most reliable and perseverant Bracken were chosen from the pack to be used on the leash to search for the lost trail of the hunted game. From those most calm and biddable Bracken, the Liam Hounds (Leithunde, working only on natural, cold scent) and the “Scent Hounds” (Schweisshunde, the so called “spoilt Liam Hounds”, working the trial of wounded game) were later bred. Through crossing of genetically fairly close breeds at the end of the 18th and beginning of the 19th century, the present day Hanoverian Scenthound evolved.

Under no circumstances may the Standard or Extended Standard be placed on the Internet without written permission of the ANKC Ltd. HISTORY OF THE BREED The Black and Tan Coonhound is believed to have descended from the Talbot Hound, which was known in England as far back as the 11th century, and the Bloodhound. In America, the Black and Tan Coonhound evolved from the Foxhounds that possessed treeing instinct and the black and tan color pattern. Owned by scouts and Indian fighters during the late 1700’s, the Black and Tan was the first coonhound to be considered a separate breed from the American Foxhound and was recognised in 1945. ! GENERAL APPEARANCE The Black and Tan Coonhound is first and fundamentally a working dog, a trail and tree hound, capable of withstanding the rigors of winter, the heat of summer, and the difficult terrain over which he is called upon to work.
