Still another thing in the beagle's favor is that he is neither an es- oecially heavy or finicky eater. Beagle owners say that the cocker, comparison, is very superior about his diet, and that the boxer will eat you out of house and home. There are, of course, many times more beagles around the Un- ited States than the kennel club's figures indicate, just as there are more cockers. The average beagle owner doesn't care a hang whether his animal is listed blue book on Park avenue. However, the registration total is considered an accurate barometer of dog popularity as a whole. Real from the book, it s the beagle is the smallest of true hounds and that he comes in izes, small and slightly larg- we lack, tan ¥ er.
