Is a beagle German if it is white?

There is no all-white beagle. These dogs come in a variety of color combinations and markings, and some are white with just a few spots of tan (lemon) or black and brown. Although small hounds existed in Ancient Greece and Medieval Europe, what we think of today as a beagle was first bred in England in 1830. Of course, nowadays, these dogs can be found all over the world, but it is unclear what you mean when you refer to a "white" or "German" beagle.
