Both Snoopy and the beagle dog breed are known to always operate from a position of love and affection. While Snoopy may not be as cuddly, he does have his moments when any of a Peanuts character is feeling down.
Real beagles can possess a lazy streak where they laze around on the couch or in your lap. However, Snoopy always ends up going along with it in the end.
Smarty Pants. Like Snoopy the Peanuts character, beagles are very smart dogs. Considering they were bred for sniffing out game and to help with hunting, you can expect this breed to be quick on its feet and have heightened senses.
Undying Loyalty. Much like your pet, the character is a fiercely loyal one. Related: 10 Most Loyal Dog Breeds. Image by Cristian S.
First of all, the Beagle breed has changed a lot over the years, and pictures of Charles growing up will prove this. The Beagle decades ago had a different appearance. In fact, it is said that Charles himself based Snoopy on his dog during childhood, which does look like Snoopy. His dog was named Spike, who had a white and black pattern with a mostly white body. When you compare an old photo of Spike to Snoopy, you can see the undeniable resemblance to his childhood dog.
In fact, Spike was a cross between a hound probably a beagle and a pointer, which explains why his markings differ from a modern-day beagle. The design of Snoopy himself has also changed over the years. So if Snoopy was based on a dog of a mixed breed heritage, how did anyone get the idea that the character in Peanuts is a beagle? Well, the breed was mentioned throughout the comics and Charlie Brown himself even hinted that his childhood dog is of this breed.

Of course, there is a great deal of other cartoon dogs and famous movie dogs, we just took some famous examples to name a few. Snoopy is a beagle. While there may not have been concrete admissions of just what kind of dog is Snoopy, but there has been enough evidence over the years to safely make this conclusion.
There may not be a lot of physical similarities between Snoopy and beagles, but there are a lot of common personality traits. Snoopy is considered a beagle after much speculation. The main reason is it is believed that the creator of Snoopy had a dog in his childhood called Spike, that bears a strong resemblance to Snoopy.
He featured the same colors of black and white, although the markings differed. Aside from this, Charlie Brown has referenced the breed throughout the comic and cartoon for people to make this conclusion.
Charles M. Shulz, the creator of Snoopy had a dog called Spike with colors like Snoopy. It is believed that the Peanuts creator had modeled Snoopy after his own dog. Spike had a white body with mask markings of black on his face with black ears. Upon hearing that, we can make the connection to Spike and Snoopy. Snoopy is a boy. He was first mentioned in a comic on August 28, , but the later date of August 10, became the more widely recognized birthday for the cartoon dog.
This displays the earlier look for Snoopy as well as the ambiguous status of his ownership: he appears to be a neighborhood dog with no particular place to be as his home. In the early days, it was unclear who was the owner of Snoopy. It was not necessarily Charlie Brown. For instance, in the strip from February 2, , Charlie Brown yells at Snoopy for following him, until Patty tells him that Snoopy is not following him, but simply lives in the same direction.
However, other early strips show Snoopy in Charlie Brown's room at night, as he is going to sleep. It seems that in the early days of the strip, Snoopy was an ownerless dog who played with the various children.
As the years went by, Snoopy began to interact with Charlie Brown more often than the other children. It is eventually shown that Snoopy's doghouse is in Charlie Brown's backyard, and Charlie Brown is responsible for feeding him. It is eventually confirmed that Charlie Brown is the owner when he says that his parents bought Snoopy for him when he was upset after a boy dumped a bucket of sand on him in a sandbox.
Snoopy has some little bird friends , the most loyal of which is Woodstock. The eight puppies were born at the Daisy Hill Puppy Farm before being separated. Snoopy has recalled his family going to the Daisy Hill Puppy Farm's chapel every day, and being part of a fifty-beagle choir. He also taught Sunday school there, a fact Charlie Brown sometimes forgets. He went to school at the Ace Obedience School. According to a series of comic strips from August and the movie, Snoopy Come Home , at an early age, Snoopy was taken in by a girl named Lila , but when she was unable to keep him, he was returned to the farm, where Charlie Brown picked him up.
This fact came to light when Lila was in the hospital and wrote to Snoopy, asking him to come and visit her. Linus did some research and learned of this, sharing his information with Charlie Brown when Snoopy returned.
Snoopy appears to like Charlie Brown. Once when Charlie Brown came home from camp, Snoopy made a welcome home banner and was waiting outside Charlie Brown's house with cake.
However, the banner said, "Welcome home, Round-headed Kid. In , Snoopy's birthday was celebrated on August However, in , his birthday was celebrated on August On April 14, , Charlie Brown explains the reason Snoopy doesn't go into his doghouse is because of his claustrophobia.
The first appearance of Snoopy in the Peanuts comic strip from October 4, This is another instance of the old Snoopy look as well as a time when he had no internal monologue or complex motivations but served as a gag character. In the very early years of Peanuts , Snoopy behaved much like an average, everyday pet. Gradually, however, he became more like a human than a dog. Snoopy was a silent character during the first two years of the strip, but he eventually verbalized his thoughts to readers for the first time in a thought balloon on May 27, Schulz moved Snoopy's sleeping location from inside his doghouse to the rooftop.
Preceding that, Snoopy gradually changed from being a quadrupedal dog to a bipedal, anthropomorphic character, like typical cartoon animals. Snoopy plays baseball in the Sunday strip from April 6, Shortly after this, Schulz would give him thought balloons and the development of his personality began. On April 12, , Snoopy first appeared as the shortstop on Charlie Brown's baseball team , although he had appeared playing baseball since April 6, The idea of the baseball team being so bad that one of its players was a dog was a long-running gag in the comic strip.
On June 28, , Snoopy was taught by Charlie Brown how to walk on his hind legs after Snoopy dabbled briefly with the idea on his own on November 17 and 23, This bipedal gait soon became so commonplace as to be almost unnoticeable. As the strip progressed, Snoopy became a much more human-like dog. His character is that of a dog who thinks he is a person or who sometimes forgets he is a dog.
In one strip, Sally has to do a report on animals for school and requests Snoopy's help. But Snoopy is reluctant, thinking, "How can I help? I don't know any animals. See main article: List of Snoopy's alter egos. Snoopy has done many impressions over the years. His earliest impression that of a bird was seen on August 9, Starting on November 17, , his impressions began to be somewhat prominent: He did impressions of Violet , a pelican, Lucy , a moose, Beethoven , and Mickey Mouse.
He would also pretend to be other animals, including a snake, rhinoceros, lion, and vulture. But his eccentricities did not stop there. When assuming this personality, Snoopy dons goggles, a flying helmet and a scarf, and climbs on top of his doghouse which he claims is a Sopwith Camel.
His primary imaginary enemy is the Red Baron. Another well-known imaginary role is " Joe Cool ", in which Snoopy puts on a "cool" look by putting on sunglasses and leaning against a wall doing nothing. Snoopy has also imagined himself as a self-proclaimed "famous" writer although after a brief early success , his extremely short "novels" are never published, and the two-paragraph one that managed to get published failed to sell , a bow tie-wearing attorney who once defended Peter Rabbit , a hockey player , an Olympic figure skater who used to skate with Peggy Fleming before he became "big time" , and as a world-famous grocery checkout clerk who operated from the top of his doghouse in an apron.
He also imagined himself as an astronaut , claiming to be the first beagle on the moon in his delusional dreams. See main article: Charlie Brown and Snoopy's relationship. Snoopy is Charlie Brown 's dog. He and Charlie Brown both like each other, but sometimes it seems like Snoopy does not appreciate Charlie Brown.
He only seems to at times appreciate the fact that Charlie Brown feeds him and gets upset easily if Charlie Brown brings his supper just a few minutes late, even though Charlie Brown brings him food every day. In one strip, Charlie Brown has to go to the hospital, Snoopy initially does not care very much until he finds out he will not be getting any supper.
Snoopy also does not appreciate the jokes Charlie Brown sometimes makes when he brings Snoopy his food, at one point he even throws the supper dish at Charlie Brown. He also gets very excited when Charlie Brown returns from school, and sometimes does a dance and hugs Charlie Brown when he gets home. In one storyline, when Charlie Brown and his family go on vacation, he has to leave Snoopy with Linus and Lucy , Snoopy cries the whole time until Charlie Brown returns.
In the strip from October 9, , Snoopy joins Charlie Brown in walking out of a game of Ha-Ha Herman when Peppermint Patty crudely insults Charlie Brown although she is unaware that Charlie Brown was within earshot when she insulted him. In a series of strips from June and July , Snoopy also helps Charlie Brown recover his autographed baseball when a bully takes it and challenges Charlie Brown to fight for it.
In a storyline from October and November , Charlie Brown leaves school and tries to spend the rest of his life making Snoopy happy. When Charlie Brown tells Snoopy that his principal has said he has to return to school, Snoopy replies "Hey, No problem", and, "I was already happy". Sally does not care very much about Snoopy and often calls him a stupid beagle. Sally usually complains when Charlie Brown asks her to feed Snoopy whenever when he is away from home. While Sally was still an infant, she had a friendly and playful relationship with Snoopy.
In later years Sally enlists Snoopy's help with school assignments. She even treats him to an ice cream cone a very tall ice cream cone, with scoops of about a dozen flavors when Snoopy helps her get an "A" on a report about "Our Animal Friends".
In one storyline, in the August comic strips Sally uses Snoopy as a "weapon" to help protect her from bullies on the playground Snoopy barks loudly at anyone who threatens Sally, leading Snoopy to comment, "I feel like a can of mace!
Snoopy and Linus appear to have a good relationship, at least when Snoopy is fantasizing about being Joe Cool or the World Famous Attorney. In one strip from May 12, , where Lucy kicks Linus out of the house when their mother is in hospital. Joe Cool allows Linus to stay at his "dorm" that is to say Snoopy's doghouse.
Linus also offers Snoopy advice about legal issues whenever the beagle is playing the World Famous Attorney. For example, Sally Brown once physically injured Linus, resulting in Linus using Snoopy as his lawyer.
However, they do have their quarrels, mainly over Snoopy's desire to take Linus' security blanket for himself.
