Beagles have been in Australia for well over 100 years and are one of the most popular breeds in the country.

Whether it be as a pet, a working dog, for showing or in dog sports such as agility, the beagle is loved in this country as an adorable, playful breed.

Most Australian states have their own beagle club which support the breed in that part of the country. You can find out more about the breed from your local club through their web site or Facebook.

Your local dog sporting club will also provide information on how you can participate in sports with your beagle.
