Overall, beagles have long thin pendulous ears, a deep chest, a sturdy body, short coat and widely set strong shoulders. They make excellent companions, if you own one, and are a very popular dog at shows. Although this type of dog has existed for more than two centuries, the modern breed was developed in the U.K. around in the mid 19th century from several breeds, including the Southern Hound, Talbot Hound and North country beagle. Beagles have also been popular in comic strips, Snoopy and Peanuts having been portrayed as "the world's most famous beagles".
