Fact 1: Did you know Snoopy, was actually inspired by Schulz’s own childhood dog, Spike, who was not a Beagle at all but actually a cross between a Pointer and a Hound.
 
Fact 2: As opposed to having any particular affinity for the breed. Schulz decided to make Snoopy a Beagle, because he thought the word, Beagle was just plain funny, Though don’t let that fool you, Schulz was a huge dog lover his entire life, having several breeds of all shapes and sizes over the years, including a Boston Bull Terrier, Golden Retriever, Saint Bernard, Wirehair Terrier and of course Beagles as his personal companions during his lifetime.
 
Fact 3: Snoopy is the only fictional dog that is  animated or otherwise to ever receive an honorary registration number Beagle -1 with the American Kennel Club (AKC). Originally known as the AKC Gazette, Snoopy appeared on the 1979 cover of the organzation’s publication posed holding his registration papers. Snoopy Appeared on the cover the November 2015 Issue of the AKC family dog magazine to celebrate the release of the movie.
 
Fact 4: How was Snoopy able to sleep on the top of his doghouse?  Just like in real life, birds sleep standing and can do so  because their brains send them a signal to clamp their feet down on a branch.   Well, Charles Schulz applied the same theory to Snoopy’s sleeping habits, by having his large floppy Beagle ears act in the same way – clamping down on the sides of the roof, thereby securing him to his doghouse for a comfy and good nights sleep.
