Welcome to the National Beagle Club’s educational pages.  This website is provided as a tool for both judges, owners and breeders of the breed.  For judges, this will help you better understand Beagle type as defined in the Standard.  For owners, this will help you understand your own breed better.  And for breeders, it will give you a better understanding of the traits you want to perpetuate in your breeding program.

Judges: This is only one tool to assist in helping you understand this breed. Please be sure to avail yourself of other means of education. The NBC has official Mentor List who will assist your learning. There are other resources available (see Resources).
