Biotechnology has developed to this day, whether it is a drug or vaccine development, it is inevitable to do live experiments on animals, the most well-known of course is the guinea pig, but do you know, many experiments will also be used in dogs, especially in physiological, pharmacological, pathological and other experimental research dogs are one of the most commonly used animals. Speaking of experimental dogs, the best experimental dogs are now internationally recognized, and it has to be mentioned that the Beagle is the dog.
Beagle
<h2 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > I'm a beagle</h2>
Beagle, also known as the Migru Hound, is one of the world's famous dogs, a small foxhound from the United Kingdom, the lineage can be traced back to ancient Greece, its name legend is from the French "beagle", that is, small meaning. The Beagle is small, with a body length of 30-40 cm, a weight of 7-12 kg, and a coat color of brownish yellow, black and white, with a mild temperament and easy to tame. The beagle's clear and pleasant bark is known as the "Bell of the Forest", and whenever it catches a rabbit, it will immediately send a signal to the hunters! However, with the invention of the hunting rifle, the gun hound has become the mainstream, and the hunting skills of the beagle have gradually lost their room for use, fortunately, many of them are now trained as anti-drug dogs and working dogs. Of course, the Bigg this kind of easy-going and well-behaved dog as a family dog is naturally good, especially in the United States, Japan, but also often listed as the top ten most popular dogs, according to statistics now there are about 100,000 beagles in the world, as a family dog distributed around the world, but more beagles have been flowed into the laboratory.

According to statistics, 98% of the dogs in the experimental dogs are beagles, and there are nearly 100,000 experimental dogs per year, which involve the field of medical technology drugs, daily necessities chemical washing products, gene editing and artificial viruses and other biotechnology aspects. Especially in the international research results on dogs as experimental animals, only experiments using beagles will be internationally recognized.

< h2 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > why do you use beagles for experiments? </h2>
< h3 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > size advantage</h3>
First of all, in terms of body size, beagles have an innate advantage, they are moderate in size, and it is more convenient to raise. And the resistance of the beagle is relatively good among dogs, and it is a dog breed that is not easy to get sick.
< h3 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > hereditary stable</h3>
Beagles have stable genetic properties, generally no inherited neurological disorders, and can obtain reproducible stable results in research work. In addition to genetics, their organ functions are also consistent, the body temperature is stable, and the response consistency is good in the experiment, especially in the experiment, the adaptability to the environment and the resistance to disease are relatively strong.
<h3 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > reproductive advantage</h3>
Beagles are small dogs, so sexual maturity is relatively early, only 8 to 12 months, and the number of litters is high.
<h3 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > not aggressive</h3>
Beagles are small, so they are basically not aggressive, which makes it easy to manage and domesticate in the laboratory.
<h3 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" > cheerful personality</h3>
Beagles have a lively personality and are able to remain optimistic and cheerful after several trials.
For these reasons, the Beagle is recognized by the international medical and biological community as the most ideal experimental dog.
< h2 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" > tragic fate</h2>
For beagles, being selected as experimental dogs dooms them to the tragedy of a lifetime. As experimental dogs, they not only have to endure the torture of various experiments, but also endure endless cage life. According to statistics, there are 25 million animals in the United States alone every year for experiments, and the experimental dogs that can successfully survive to the decommissioning of experimental beagles are less than 10% of the total, even if they are lucky enough to survive, the body and mind are already in ruins. What is even more disappointing is that most of these retired beagles will be euthanized by people. These little guys have made indelible contributions to human medicine, but they have not received the respect they deserve. Fortunately, nowadays, there are already some charitable foundations abroad with the purpose of rescuing experimental dogs, and they only hope that through their efforts, more experimental dogs can be helped.

As a hunting dog, the beagle is known as the rabbit killer, as an experimental dog is recognized as the best experimental dog, as a family dog they are cute in appearance, cheerful, very affectionate to the owner, is a very popular family dog.
