Colour.—Any recognised Hound colour.
Coat.—Smooth variety: smooth, very dense, and not too fine or short. Rough variety: very dense and wiry.
Height.—Not exceeding 16 inches.
General Appearance.—A compactly-built Hound, without coarseness, conveying the impression of great stamina and activity.
Pocket Beagles must not exceed 10 inches in height, although ordinary Beagles in miniature. No point, however good in itself, should be encouraged, if it tends to give a coarse appearance to such minute specimens of the breed. They should be compact and symmetrical throughout, of true Beagle type, and show great quality and breeding.
Classification.—It is recommended that Beagles should be divided at shows into Rough and Smooth, with classes for "not exceeding 16 inches and over 12 inches"; "not exceeding 12 inches and over 10"; and "not exceeding 10 inches."
