Beagles are used for hunting because their bark is loud (this alerts the hunter when something is found) , their tails are thick (the hunter can easily pull them out of tunnels, this is also why you see Show Competitors pick Beagles up by their tails) , they are short and close to the ground (Easy for them to smell) , and their ears are big and floppy (It attracts the smells to their noses).
