3. Beagle
The Lighthearted Beagle is a Scent Hound That Tracks Its Quarry
The happy-go-lucky beagle takes third in the list of scent superstars. Bred originally to hunt rabbits, these merry little hounds look like foxhounds in miniature. Friendly and nonthreatening, beagles are regularly employed by the USDA and US Customs to search for contraband food and other undesirable items at airports.
Wonderful with children and other dogs, they are the fourth most popular breed in America. Beagles should follow all commands given to them cheerfully, and should never display shyness or resentfulness. Beagles are not droolers, and their short coats are typically odor free. High in drive, these active little dogs need daily exercise, or they may follow their noses into mischief.
