Beagle
Small, curious and full of energy, Beagles were bred to follow a scent. Their noses are so good that some work at airports, sniffing luggage for hidden food.
Border Collie
Often called the smartest breed, Border Collies were bred to herd sheep. They need lots of exercise and games that keep their busy minds working.
