Beaglier

I suggest that the cross-breeds sub-section should include more than only the puggle. Not all need be necessarily listed, but the notable ones should be, and that includes the beaglier — which is especially popular in Australia.

Gist of update: use updated name for Chinese Beagle Syndrome

1. Change

   Chinese Beagle Syndrome

to

   Musladin-Lueke Syndrome (MLS)

2. Move existing reference at end of MLS sentence, the archived kennel club reference, to end of previous clause (marked by a semi-colon), to show that it is only a reference for "Funny Puppy" syndrome

3. Add new reference to end of MLS sentence: ^[1] Speaktorob (talk) 09:14, 20 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The first line under the "Health" section, "thumb|10-year-old female beagle with oral cancer. ", seems to be failing to display the described picture. I would rectify this by correctly displaying Cancer_dog.jpg or removing the sentence. Spaceshakes (talk) 22:19, 20 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

History?

I do not follow the first paragraph of the History section. The Talbot hound comes to Britain and is crossed with Greyhounds to give them an extra turn of speed. Then we have a disconnected "Beagles are similar to the Harrier and the extinct Southern Hound, though smaller and slower". How did we suddenly get from the Talbot/greyhound to the Beagle? Does this imply that the Talbot hound is the ancestor, because the article is not saying that. William Harristalk 12:04, 30 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Request for Edit

The "Appearance" section reads:

"The general appearance of the beagle resembles a miniature Foxhound. . . "

That can be confusing because many people read "miniature" as being a near synonym as "toy" (i.e. a smaller sub-breed of a larger dog). However, I don't think that this is the case here, as the argument is that a beagle looks like a foxhound, but smaller. To remove this possible source of confusion I would suggest:

"The general appearance of the beagle is similar to a small Foxhound, but proportionally the head is broader and the muzzle shorter, the expression completely different and the legs shorter in proportion to the body."
