Which breed is typically classified as a hound dog?

Golden Retriever
Beagle
Border Collie
Bulldog

The correct answer is: Beagle

The Beagle is typically classified as a hound dog because it is specifically bred for hunting and tracking game, which are characteristic traits of hound breeds. Hound dogs are known for their keen sense of smell and strong hunting instincts, and the Beagle's lineage traces back to scent hounds that were used for tracking small game like rabbits and hares. In contrast, the other breeds listed have different primary purposes and characteristics. Golden Retrievers are known for their retrieving abilities in hunting but are categorized under sporting dogs. Border Collies excel in herding due to their intelligence and agility and are classified as herding dogs. Bulldogs, recognized for their muscular build and gentle temperament, fall under the non-sporting group. Each of these breeds has been specifically developed for unique roles, which is why the Beagle stands out as a representative of hound dogs.
