What is the history & origin of the Beaglier?

A Beagliers, or Beagle Cavalier Mix, is a breed that has only been around for a fairly short amount of time.

Breeders wanted to create a fun and affectionate family dog based on the nature of a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel with fewer genetic issues than those of a Beagle.

This designer breed calls Australia home and has been around since the 90s and has since then been recognised by the American Canine Hybrid Club.

This Beagle mix is now gaining popularity in many other countries, specifically in Great Britain, where the Beagle has been around for many years.

What is a Beaglier Breed?

A Beaglier is a relatively new breed that is mixed with a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and a Beagle and has very few standards to go by due to its novelty.

Usually having a combination of browns, black, white, and cream in their shiny coats, these pups look specifically adorable thanks to their floppy ears.

As this is a fairly new designer breed, they can be described as literally a 50/50 mix between a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and a Beagle in personality as well as nature.

Who is a Beaglier Best For?

These designer dogs are most suitable for singles or families with children beyond toddler or kindergarten age with an active lifestyle. Smaller children can play a bit too rough for these small-sized dogs; therefore, waiting until your kids are a bit older before you bring a Beaglier to the household might be advisable.

Thanks to their compact size, they can be kept in an apartment as well as a house with a fenced yard or garden if getting sufficient daily exercise, as they are a high-energy breed.

Beaglier Grooming & Shedding

These short-haired dogs are very low-maintenance when it comes to grooming, and a quick brushing session once a week should suffice completely.

The Beaglier coat also makes them very susceptible to extreme temperatures, which means they will likely require a coat in winter and potentially even sunscreen on their sensitive areas in summer.

Bathing should only be done as needed, as Beagliers are prone to flaky and itchy skin and therefore require the protective essential oils of their coat to prevent them from it.

If you can hear your dog’s nails clicking on hard ground when walking or running, make sure to get them trimmed, as nails that are too long can cause pain and discomfort.

Getting your dog used to you touching their paws and cleaning their ears and mouths at an early age is a good idea as they can be quite sensitive around these specific areas, and the sooner they get used to being touched, the better.

Do Beagliers bark a lot?

Barking is potentially the most common form of communication among dogs and, therefore, shouldn’t be seen as an issue unless it becomes excessive.

In any case, Beagliers are described as a dog breed that is not prone to barking at strangers or strange noises as some other dog breeds might be known for.

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

A full-grown adult Beaglier can weigh between 6 and 10 kgs and be between 30 and 40cm in size.

Are Beagliers easy to train?

Many Beaglier owners report very different stories when it comes to their training. Some are easy and obedient from the start, while others turned out to be a bit more stubborn and required a bit more patience when training.

In either case, consistency and positive enforcement are key when training this dog.

The breed has many traits of a scent hound, so it might be a good idea to play games where it is required to sniff out a toy or a treat that has been hidden prior without them knowing. This is also a great mental stimulation and will be very enjoyable for this intelligent dog.

As with other dogs, it is highly recommended to start socialisation at an early age so that your Beaglier gets used to other people, animals, and situations as soon as possible.

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

A Beagle Cavalier Mix has a temper that is described as a happy dog that is playful and sweet, just like their Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and Beagle Cavalier parents.

Even though the lap-dog size may suggest otherwise, this is a highly energetic dog that enjoys playing fetch at the dog park or going for a jog.

As a Beaglier derives a part of its nature from hunting dogs, you should be aware that it has a very active scent drive and always follows its nose.

For that very reason, this dog also might not be the best companion to any other pets, such as hamsters or rabbits in the house.

Does the Beaglier have any common health issues?

Being a small dog as well as a mixed breed makes a Beaglier an extremely resilient dog and not very sensitive to genetic health problems.

As with any dog, however, even a Beaglier has certain health concerns that it might have inherited from its purebred parents. You might want to look out for:

  • Ear Infections: Due to their floppy ears, Beagliers can be prone to ear infections, which require regular cleaning and monitoring.
  • Hip Dysplasia: This genetic condition can lead to joint pain and arthritis if the hip joint doesn’t fit properly.
  • Eye Issues: Beagliers may experience problems such as cherry eye (a prolapsed gland) or glaucoma, which can affect their vision.
  • Hypothyroidism: This condition occurs when the thyroid gland doesn’t produce enough hormones, leading to weight gain and lethargy.
  • Joint Issues: Like many small breeds, Beagliers can suffer from various joint problems over time.

If you want to prevent yourself from spending a lot of money on your dog’s health, it would be a good idea to get pet insurance.

What is the lifespan of a Beaglier?

According to the Designer Dogs Kennel Club, these dogs have a life expectancy of between 10 and 13 years.

How much does a Beaglier need to be fed?

Despite its high amounts of energy, Beagliers are susceptible to weight gain; therefore, it is important to watch how much you are feeding on a daily basis.

This dog breed is prone to eating anything it can find and can be quite insatiable, so be mindful of how often you give them treats and how much you are feeding them.

When in doubt, please consult with your veterinarian as the right amount and quality of food always depends on your dog’s age, size, and health.

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

Acquiring a puppy from registered Beaglier breeders can cost from about $2500 up to $5000.

If you are looking for a cheaper option, you can always visit your local shelter, as many of them tend to have designer breeds end up there and adopt a rescue to give it a chance for a second home.

Beaglier FAQs

Are Beagliers smaller than Beagles?

As hybrid dogs, Beagliers can be slightly smaller than their Beagle parent.

Usually, the mother of a litter tends to be the bigger breed, which in this case is the Beagle, with the father being the slightly smaller Cavalier King Charles Spaniels. Therefore, it depends on which side the Beaglier puppy is leaning towards when trying to figure out the size that they are going to be once fully grown.

Do Beagliers experience separation anxiety when left alone?

As this is a condition often seen in its parent breeds, a Beaglier can definitely get very anxious when left alone for extended amounts of time. They just love to be around their humans and do not do well for long periods on their own.

How long can a Beaglier be left alone?

The American Kennel Club advises that you should keep your dog’s alone time to a minimum, but if this is unavoidable you shouldn’t leave your dog alone for longer than 4 to 6 hours.

This is obviously significantly shorter for puppies, and based on their curious behaviour, they definitely should not be left alone for longer than 2 hours at a time.

Are Beagliers hypoallergenic dogs?

While Beagliers definitely shed very little, their fur is not hypoallergenic; therefore, they might not be the best fit for people with pet hair allergies.
