The Beabull is an adorable designer dog breed made by mixing Beagles and English Bulldogs. The result is an affectionate, friendly and highly social dog that adores its owner and loves spending time with its family.

They do have a bit of a stubborn side and can be hard to train, but aside from this, they’re very easy-going and low-maintenance.

Their appearance varies a lot from dog to dog but each one is charming and incredibly cute in its unique way.

We’ve laid out this guide with all you need to know about this amazing breed so that you can get up to speed on the Beabull and see if it could be the perfect dog for you!

What is the history & origin of the Beabull?

The exact origins of the lovable Beabull are not known, but it’s thought that they were first intentionally bred in the United States within the last 20 to 30 years.

Like most designer dogs they probably first came into existence accidentally before breeders started to mix the parent breeds purposefully. When learning about a mixed breed dog it’s always good to get some information on the parent breeds, which in the Beabull’s case are the English Bulldog and the Beagle.

The Beagle is an ancient breed that can be traced back to the Romans, and it was used as a hunting dog in the 19th century.

The Beagle’s floppy ears are instantly recognizable and give them an adorable appearance, which may be one of the reasons they’re the sixth most popular breed in the world!

The English Bulldog has an unfortunate history and after being originally bred in England around 1835 they were used for cruel sports such as bull and bear-baiting. They’re now recognized by the American Kennel Club within the Non-Sporting Group and are very loyal and affectionate.

What is a Beabull breed?

Due to being mixed-breed dogs the appearance of the Beabull is notoriously hard to predict and will vary greatly from puppy to puppy. This depends on whether they’ve inherited their looks more from their Beagle parent or their English Bulldog parent.

Mostly, Beabulls will have the floppy ears, long snout and hazel eyes of the Beagle and the classic, English Bulldog wrinkles and underbite. They also come in a variety of colours with the most common coat colourings being solid white, brown and white, gold or even tri-coloured.

Most designer dogs are not recognized by the American Kennel Club, and the Beabull is no different. However, it is recognized by the Designer Dogs Kennel Club, The American Canine Hybrid Club and the International Designer Canine Registry.

Regardless of how they look, you can guarantee that your Beabull puppy will be sociable, intelligent, playful and very cute.

Who is a Beabull best for?

Beabulls are incredibly social dogs and make excellent family pets, and are also great companions for people who live alone. They’ll always be by your side and are happy to spend their time cuddling at home with their owners.

The Beabull isn’t an overly active dog and doesn’t require lots of walks, a quick run around a dog park will usually suffice, but they can be fairly difficult to train. For this reason, they’re best suited to people who have previous experience in training and caring for dogs.

Beabull Grooming & Shedding

As it’s a Bulldog, Beagle mix this breed has a short coat that is quite high-shedding and needs to be brushed every other day. You should use a brush with firm bristles as this will reduce shedding and keep their coat looking smooth and shiny.

Beabulls only need to be bathed when they’re dirty as their skin can become dry if they’re bathed too often, but you’ll need to clean out their floppy ears about once a month to reduce the risk of ear infections.

Do Beabulls bark a lot?

Beabulls are known as a pretty vocal breed and both breeds that they descend from tend to bark. Beagles have a distinctive howl that sounds almost like singing, and English Bulldogs have a sharp, short bark.

Regardless of which parent your Beabull puppy has inherited most of its traits from, it’s very unlikely that you’re going to end up with a quiet pooch.

What is the average weight & height of a Beabull dog?

The weight and size of Beabulls vary depending on their gender, and males can weigh up to 18kg whilst females usually way around 13kg. Males typically grow to 40cm in height and females to 30cm.

Are Beabulls easy to train?

Beabulls can be difficult to train as they are often quite stubborn and can be a bit on the lazy side. It’s crucial that you start training and socializing them when they’re still very young so that they don’t develop any problem behaviours as they grow.

They respond better to training sessions that include positive reinforcement and rewards rather than any sort of punishment. This training can be challenging so it may be best to sign them up for puppy training classes to ease some of the burdens.

How do Beabulls behave? A look at their temperament and personality

Beabulls are incredibly friendly dogs that absolutely love spending time around people, and they’re generally very playful and gentle. Although some people worry about the reputation of the Bulldog breed and think that Beabulls may be aggressive, this is certainly not the case.

They get along well with other dogs, children and most other pets, as long as you allow them a bit of time to get to know them. If they’re properly socialized then Beabulls usually become best pals with everyone in the home, and this makes them great family dogs.

Does the Beabull have any common health issues?

Beabulls are mostly healthy dogs but like all other mixed breeds they are susceptible to some conditions that are common in their parents’ breeds, such as:

Hip Dysplasia – this condition affects the thighbone and means that it doesn’t fit properly into the hip joint which can cause pain, limping and arthritis.
Hypothyroidism – this is a condition that affects the dog’s thyroid gland and causes their metabolism to slow down. There are many symptoms but some of the most common are lethargy, weight gain, excessive hair shedding and a slow heart rate.
Intervertebral Disc Disease – this is the most common spine disease in dogs and usually occurs in old age. The shock absorbers in the dog’s spine slowly degenerate leading to spinal cord compression and disc herniation.

What is the lifespan of a Beabull?

The average lifespan of Beabulls is 10 to 13 years. If they have the right care, diet and regular checkups at the vet then they can exceed this life expectancy. Either way, your furry buddy will be by your side for quite some time.

How much does a Beabull need to be fed?

As Beabulls vary so much in size, weight and metabolism there is no one-size-fits-all diet plan for them. This needs to be formulated for each puppy, and it’s best to speak to a vet so that they can recommend the best diet for your Beabull.

This breed has a high tendency to overeat and is very prone to obesity, so you need to be careful with the amount of food you give them at mealtimes and also how many treats you give them throughout the day.

How much can you expect to pay for a Beabull in Australia?

The average price of Beabull puppies is $1,000 – $2,000. Always be sure to use a reputable breeder as they will have raised the puppy properly and they will have less chance of developing serious health conditions.

Reputable breeders usually perform health checks on the puppy’s parents before breeding, to give them the best chance of living a happy and healthy life.

Beabull FAQs

Is a Beabull ideal for a first-time dog owner?

Beabulls are not the best choice for first-time owners as they can be stubborn and hard to train. They’re usually better suited to owners who have trained dogs before. If you do choose a Beabull as your first dog then enrolling them in puppy classes could save you a lot of time and hassle.

Do Beabulls suffer from separation anxiety?

Beabulls are very social and love being around people, so they are susceptible to separation anxiety. If you think you’ll have to leave your Beabull alone for long periods frequently then they might not be the best option for you, as this may make them anxious and depressed.

Are Beabulls hypoallergenic dogs?

Beabulls are not hypoallergenic as their short coats shed quite a lot. This means they will leave fur and dander around the house which may cause allergic reactions.

Will a Beabull need professional grooming?

Beabulls shouldn’t require professional grooming as they don’t need to be bathed often, and they don’t need to be clipped. As long as you’re able to brush their coat at least every other day then you should have no problems grooming your dog at home.
