Do Beagles Smell. Beagles are a little smelly. Beagles might be good at smelling, but sometimes, they also smell bad.

This odor was crucial to beagles because they worked together in packs to hunt, and being able to smell each other was essential to the smooth running of the pack. Beagles are naturally scented so if they smell bad there’s probably an underlying issue such as dirty anal glands (which should be checked by a vet). Beagles are one such beautiful breed that ranks third in having a great sense of scent or smell.
