Speaking of hounds, many people like it very much, because they are usually very fierce, in fact, not all hounds are large dogs, the following kinds of dogs, although not large, are real hounds, in terms of hunting can not lose large dogs at all.
Beagle
The Beagle, also known as the Migru Hound, or simply called the Beagle, is a real hound.

Although this dog is not large, it has the title of "rabbit killer". Because of their ability to hunt hares, they are considered by many people to be one of the best rabbit hounds in the world today. Of course, most of these dogs are still used as companions, beagles are not afraid of life by nature and like to be close to humans, and are listed as one of the most popular dog breeds in Japan and North America for many years.
However, this guy is a bit noisy, if he is raised in the city, it is inevitable that he will be complained by neighbors because he is too tossed. In addition to being a family dog, the Beagle is also the preferred breed of experimental dogs, and as a laboratory dog, their life will be very miserable. He spent most of his life experimenting, and even when he retired, he would mostly be euthanized. Only a very small number of them will be adopted, and these adopted lucky dogs will also take two or three years to recover. Fortunately, there are now many charities abroad that aim to rescue experimental dogs, and I only hope that they can help more experimental dogs.
Dachshunds
Dachshunds are small short-legged dogs that are very good with corgis, and although their legs are short, they are very good hounds. Originally they were used for sniffing, tracking badgers and other burrowing animals, and thus their small short legs became an advantage. This dog is extremely dynamic and is now a great family companion dog, popular all over the world.
Bagidoo
Bagidoo Hound
The Bajidu Hound is another kind of short-legged dog, but they are the best of the hounds, the Bajidu Hound is also called the Bassett Hound, the French Short-legged Hound, native to France, this dog has a long body and short feet, a large and long drooping ear, a nose and a keen sense of smell, originally trained to hunt hares, pheasants and so on.
Cocker Spaniel
Although its legs are short, it has a keen sense of smell and long-term endurance, and is definitely a good catcher for prey. Nowadays, this dog is a favorite in Europe and the United States!
Cocker Spaniels, also known as beagles, cocker long-haired hounds, etc., are known as American cranks in Hong Kong. The Cocker Spaniel is the smallest member of the GunHound family, produced in the United Kingdom and the United States, known as the British Cocker Spaniel and the American Cocker Spaniel. The dog used to hunt mountain birds, i.e. pheasants, but is now the favorite companion and play dog for children and ladies.
epilogue
Although there is basically no place for us to hunt in China now, hounds naturally have no place for them. However, these small dogs, as companion dogs for the family, have an inherent advantage over large hunting dogs. If you like hounds, but because the city bans the breeding of large dogs, you can consider the above several very good beagles.
