Not exactly like a retriever or gun dog, but it’s close.
My grandpa had a beagle that was a squirrel dog, and he would retrieve the squirrels.

We have one too! But we only hunt tennis balls.
My F-I-L had a beagle/basset cross UBU; he hunted everything with him; birds, rabbits, whatever was legal; and UBU fetched; but wouldn’t give up his catch to anyone but my FIL; very useful, very versatile dog.
These beagles’ hunting style resembles a spaniel’s, ain’t it.
My grandfather hunted over a dog that was a mixture of beagle and cocker spaniel. It used to be common to cross them.
