Beaglier

Characteristics

Health & Longevity

Average Life Span: 12-14 years
The Beaglier is a hybrid between the Beagle and the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. Since this is a hybrid breed, it is important to look at potential diseases and conditions that may stem from either of the parents.

While many of these issues have been bred out, it is not impossible for them to reappear due to poor breeding. It is essential that you work with a reputable breeder to prevent this from happening and to ensure the health of your puppy.

Common illness and some health concerns to keep an eye on include Beagle dwarfism, hypothyroidism, patellar luxation, and episodic falling.

Beagle dwarfism is a disease found in Beagles and it stunts their growth. If your Beaglier has this disease, you may notice that he or she does not grow as quickly or as large as he or she should. Dwarfism can lead to other potential conditions as many of the organs within the body do not fully form or function.

Hypothyroidism can affect your Beaglier and this can lead to one of two things. Either your Beaglier will be unable to gain weight or your puppy will be obese. This condition is controlled with a proper diet and medication.

Patellar luxation commonly occurs in active breeds and may be seen in your Beaglier too. The condition is described as the dislocation of the knee. When it occurs, you may notice that your puppy holds his or her hind leg up.

Episodic falling is a syndrome that occurs commonly in the Cavalier King Charles Spaniels and may be present in your Beaglier. This is a genetic disorder and is able to be corrected through the use of therapy. The condition can range from mild to severe.

The life expectancy of a Beaglier is 12 to 14 years.

Temperament & Train-ability

The Beaglier is often classified as a breed that is curious, energetic, playful, and affectionate. You should not be surprised to find that your puppy craves your attention and wants you to spend a lot of time with him or her. In fact, this breed will show you unconditional love and bond with members in the household.

This breed is considered energetic, but not overwhelmingly so. You do need to provide them with some toys to play with to keep them busy.

If your puppy has inherited some of the genes from the Beagle side, he or she may act as a good hunter, and this means that you may have a surprise waiting on your porch or doorstep in the form of a lizard.

The Beaglier is loyal to those who call him or her family and will work hard to please you and keep you happy. This breed is ideal for any family including those with children or seniors.

This breed is considered easy to train, but you must remain consistent as he or she can become stubborn at times and not respond to commands. The Beaglier will not respond to aggressive tactics, so it is best not to try.

You do need to provide the Beaglier with some outside time in the form of a walk daily or running around in the yard. This is a good apartment dog, but you should avoid leaving your Beaglier puppy at home alone for too long as separation anxiety can occur and your puppy may become destructive.

Grooming

The Beaglier does have moderate grooming requirements and does shed quite a bit. You should brush your Beaglier every day to minimize the amount of shedding and to make sure that there are no tangles in his or her fur.

Bathing should be done about once a month or when your puppy really needs it. When choosing a shampoo, choose one that is mild on the skin. If you do not, you may affect and strip the oils from his or her skin.

In addition to the above, you need to clean your Beaglier’s ears once a week and remove any buildup of wax or dirt that can occur. You should also look for signs of ear infection and alert your veterinarian right away to any problems.

Lastly, you should trim your Beaglier’s nails and prevent them from getting too long as this can lead to breakage of the nail and this is painful for any puppy.

Diet

Your Beaglier will require three-quarters cup to one and a half cups of quality dry food per day. You can choose how to serve your puppy the food, but once in the morning and once at night is best.

As your Beaglier grows, you need to provide him or her with a high nutrient food that will take his or her growth and activity level into account. The food you choose should be wholesome and fill your puppy up.

It is best to avoid products that contain chemicals or processed foods as this can lead to obesity and provide no nutritional value to your puppy.
