The Beaglier is an adorable and lovable dog breed that is loyal to their family. Some facts about Cavalier King Charles Spaniels are that they are affectionate companions and make great family dogs. Beagliers tend to be similar.

They crave attention from their favorite humans and are affectionate dogs. Well-socialized, they get along wonderfully with children and other dogs. With the hunting dog background from the Beagle, a Beaglier can have a prey drive. If so, they may need to have some extra socialization and training when it comes to smaller pets in the household.

Provided they are well-socialized, Beagliers also tend to be open with strangers, especially once they are introduced. After all, new people often mean more attention for your Beaglier. These dogs will also bark to alert you, and can be prone to barking a lot if they take after their Beagle parent. It’s not a bad idea to train your dog to stop barking on command or redirect to another activity early on to keep it manageable while you continue to socialize and train them.

Beagliers are highly adaptable dogs. As long as they get enough exercise, mental stimulation, and attention, they will do well in apartments as well as larger homes with fenced yards where they can run freely.

Some facts about Beagles are that they are scent-driven and have an incredible sense of smell compared to the average dog. The Beaglier can inherit these traits as well, in addition to an urge to chase from both parents. Because they can be scent-driven and end up with a prey drive, Beagliers should not be let off-leash unless they are in a securely fenced area. Otherwise, they may follow their nose away from you or go on a chase and ignore your commands to come back.

They do well in just about any climate. As with any dog breed, they are sensitive to extreme temperatures and tend to be more sensitive to heat. Because they crave attention from their families, they do not like to be left alone for long periods of time.

As a mixed dog breed, a Beaglier puppy can inherit the potential health concerns from one or both of their parents. They can also “win the genetic lottery” and inherit none of them. Since there is no guarantee, it’s important to be aware of the potential health concerns for your Beaglier.

Potential health concerns in Beagliers could include eye issues, patellar luxation, hip dysplasia, hypothyroidism, and heart disease. Good breeding practices and the health of the parents make a big difference in the health of Beaglier puppies.

Reputable breeders will screen their dogs to avoid passing anything on to puppies. So, don’t be afraid to talk to the breeder about the genetic history of the parents, to ask questions, or to ask to see any relevant health clearances or results from tests that have been done.

The Beaglier is a moderately trainable dog breed. Beaglier puppies can be easy to train and eager to please, or they could have a stubborn streak if they take after one parent more than the other. A Beaglier is an intelligent dog that picks up on training quickly as long as it is rewarding and consistent.

They can be a good fit for first-time dog owners, but puppy training classes are recommended. Being prepared for some puppy training classes definitely doesn’t hurt and can help a first-time owner handle a stubborn streak successfully. Beagliers also tend to be chewers, so it’s important to have chew toys available and to start teaching boundaries on what is and is not an acceptable chew toy early on.

Beagliers usually have a short coat that sheds moderately and requires little grooming. But, they may inherit a longer coat similar to their Cavalier King Charles Spaniel parent. Either way, brushing their coat a few times a week and the occasional bath is enough to keep this dog’s coat healthy.

In addition to coat care, you will also need to handle ear care, nail care, and dental care for your Beaglier. By checking your Beaglier’s ears weekly and carefully cleaning them as needed, you can help prevent ear infections. Trimming their nails once or twice monthly, or more often if needed, keeps them from growing too long. Also, brushing your dog’s teeth or using an enzyme toothpaste every day can prevent painful dental diseases later in life, like gum disease and tooth decay.

The Beaglier tends to have moderate exercise requirements. A few daily walks plus some playtime and extra activity should be sufficient to keep this dog happy and healthy. Plus, they tend to be relatively sturdy, so they will likely be up for more activity if you are.

Don’t be afraid to try out different activities to figure out what your Beaglier loves the most. Trips to the dog park, hiking, or even swimming with your dog could become your favorite activities to do together! It’s best to keep things low-impact until puppies finish growing to avoid damage to developing bones and joints. But, once they have been cleared for higher-impact activities, you might find that your Beaglier is a constant companion on rugged outdoor adventures.

A fully-grown Beaglier usually stands 12-16 inches tall at the shoulder and weighs 10-20 pounds.

A Beaglier generally lives for 10-15 years on average.

Beagliers have even been featured in dog movies. A Dog’s Purpose, a film released in 2017, follows the soul of a dog throughout their many lives as they are reincarnated. One of the reincarnations was a Beaglier named Molly, and Josh Gad provided the voice acting for them and several other canine characters.
