Cheers for the kind words folks.
I had to laugh about the smoking remark. I have had a few similar comments from friends.
I can recall a Hale and Pace sketch refering to a smoking Beagle in the 1980's.
Apart from that I'm not sure why they are associated with smoking.

They were used in lab tests for smoking regarding cancer and used for other 'orrible tests as well.

Of course. I knew Beagles we used in the labs
Now and again aircraft visit containing animals to be used like that
Shortly after we got Ruby. One such aircraft came in full of Beagle puppies.
Being an animal lover it was very sad to see.
