DESCRIPTION
A Beaglier is a hybrid that is a cross-breed of a Beagle and a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and may demonstrate any combination of traits from those two breeds. Hybrids have become very popular in the past few years. They play a big role in the current designer dog trend. The experimentation of these hybrid or designer dogs has not been recognized by the American Kennel Club or Canadian Kennel Club. The key to cross breeding to purebred dogs is what is called hybrid vigor, the breeding resulting in a healthier dog with superior genetic constitution can come from dogs purebred for so long that they have common genetic disorders.
TEMPERAMENT
Calm and good natured.
GROOMING
The Beaglier has a short, hard, dense, and weatherproof coat. It is minimal shedder.
HEALTH
Lethal heart conditions, soft palate problems, protruding eyes, skin problems, patellar luxation, hip dysplasia, mitral valve disease and epilepsy
EXERCISE
Exercise is needed on a leash as the Beaglier has a tendency to roam. A large back yard will take care of most of the Beagliers exercise requirements.
TRAINING
They will respond well to basic obedience training, but are not extremely easy to train.
