Beagle (English spelling)

Japanese: ビーグル[種](英語表記)beagle
Beagle (English spelling)
This is a hound that originated in England and is specialized for hunting rabbits (illustration). Its origins are unknown, but it is said to have originated from a small pure white hound that was beloved by the Welsh royal family in the 6th century. During the reigns of Henry III and Queen Elizabeth I, it is said that the beagle was carried to hunting fields in a horse's saddlebag, where 10 to 20 were let loose to surround and drive away rabbits. The beagle as we know it today was established in the 19th century, and is nicknamed the "singing beagle" because of its loud howl that it makes when chasing rabbits in the field.

Japanese:
原産地がイギリスのウサギ猟専門の猟犬である(イラスト)。起源は不明だが6世紀のころ,ウェールズの王室でかわいがられていた純白の小型のハウンドから出発しているといわれる。ヘンリー3世やエリザベス女王(1世)時代には馬の鞍籠に入れられて猟野に運ばれ,そこで10~20頭が放たれてウサギを囲むように追い出したと伝えられる。現在のようなビーグルが確立されたのは19世紀で,猟野ではよく響くほえ声をあげながらウサギを追うところから,〈シンギング・ビーグルsinging beagle〉と愛称されている。
