WHEN a pack of beagles and their owners get together for a walk, there’s bound to be some gossip about their cheeky four-legged companions.

Known for their excellent sense of smell and mischievous nature, Beagle Club of Queensland president Jeff Souter said owners and their dogs had a ball at the event.

“There’s nothing like being able to get together and for owners to talk about how naughty their beagles are and what fun they’ve been up to,” he said.

Mr Souter said the large pack of 225 dogs loved getting out and about, with most beagles more than happy to walk the five kilometres from Federation Park to the sand-pumping jetty at The Spit.

He said the numbers were the second highest turnout they had in the 10 years they had hosted the walk, only beaten by a world record attempt in 2015 when 403 of the floppy-earred hounds got together.

“They bay, it’s a type of bark to bring the attention to something,” he said.

“It’s quite a different sound.”

Owners came all across from southeast Queensland, including Logan, Beenleigh and Nerang.
