Beagle, also known as Migru Beagle, is one of the world famous dog breeds. It ranks seventh among the most popular dogs in the United States and Japan, and its popularity is increasing every year. It is the prototype dog of the comic book Snoopy. Besides being a pet dog and a hunting dog, it also plays the role of an experimental dog, with an annual global consumption of about100000. So we need to take good care of the beagle dogs around us, because they use their lives to escort us because of the safety of our medication.
I. History
According to legend, Beagle has a deep relationship with the British royal family, and it was the hunting trend in Britain from16th century to17th century. The British royal family has raised many famous dogs to cooperate with the royal family in hunting. The short and pithy Beagle is trained to hunt small prey, among which the rabbit is the most sensitive and precious, so the rabbit is often an important target for Beagle hunting. Because the beagle has made amazing achievements in rabbit hunting, it is called "rabbit killer" and has been called beagle for a long time. It is also called the "forest clock" because its cry is louder than other hounds. Later, the hunting trend gradually receded, and Beagle dogs began to transform into domestic dogs. The lively Beagle was not very popular at the beginning because it was too active and difficult to tame, but with the help of professional dog trainers and veterinarians, it gradually adapted to human family life and eventually became a member of the domestic dog.
Second, the role
At present, Beagle is the most commonly used experimental dog and has become the most standard animal in experimental research. This kind of dog is mostly used in long-term chronic experiments. Abroad, it has been widely used in basic medical research such as biochemistry, microbiology, pathology, virology, pharmacology and oncology (such as the cause and treatment of cancer, etc. ), and in various safety tests of pesticides, especially in the pharmaceutical industry, dogs are the most used.
Beagle dogs have many advantages as experimental dogs. First of all, Beagle dogs are moderate in size and easy to control. Moreover, Beagle dogs are relatively healthy and their resistance is relatively excellent among dogs. More importantly, the beagle's personality is lively, and it can maintain an optimistic and cheerful personality even after several tests.
Not only that, dogs are close to people and are not aggressive. Because dogs are obedient, they are relatively cooperative when doing some work, which is easier to discipline. In addition, Beagle dogs have stable genetic performance and generally have no hereditary nervous system diseases, so stability is to obtain good repeatability in research work. Especially in experiments, it has strong adaptability and disease resistance to the environment. It is an ideal experimental dog recognized by the international medical and biological circles. At present, the annual consumption of this kind of dog in the world is about100000.
Therefore, we should love the dogs around us more. They have done too much for us where we can't see them.
