The Boglen Terrier is a mixed breed dog that is the product of mixing a Beagle with a Boston Terrier. They have inherited traits from both parent breeds that are desirable for owners. These dogs are loving little companions that enjoy playing and having fun with their owners. They have, however, been known to be quite stubborn at times.

Another name for the Boglen Terrier is the Boston Beagle Terrier or sometimes they are called the Boggle. This name can cause some confusion as Boggle is also used for a Boxer and beagle mix. The Boglen Terrier is another designer dog breed that gained popularity and the number of this breed increased.

Despite gaining status as a designer dog breed, unfortunately, they have been known to end up in shelters and rescues. If you think you might be interested in getting a Boglen Terrier then make sure to check the nearest shelter to you.

Boglen Terriers love being around people making them suitable for those with large families. They have lots of energy and will happily play until the sun goes down. They don’t do too well on their own so it’s best if someone can be in the house to keep them company at all times.

After you have a good read through this guide, you should have more than enough information to decide whether this dog breed is the one for you.

What is the history & origin of the Boglen Terrier?

What is a Boglen Terrier breed?

The Boglen Terrier had likely been around for some time however it wasn’t until the early 2000s that people started breeding them purposefully. Breeding a Beagle parent with a Boston Terrier to produce a Boglen Terrier puppy was thought to have started out in North America.

The Beagle Boston Terrier mix wasn’t just bred because of its appealing looks, there were also some health benefits. They have longer snouts than the Boston Terrier parent breed and as a result, they have less difficulty with breathing properly. They also are less prone to eye infections which is a common problem with purebred Boston Terriers.

The Boglen Terrier has traits from both of the parent breeds making them a great family pet. They are fun, silly, and have plenty of affection to show the ones they consider family.

Boglen Terriers are not acknowledged by the AKC because they are mixed breeds. They are, however, recognized by the International Designer Canine Registry, the Designer Dog Registry, the Designer Dogs Kennel Club, American Canine Hybrid Club as well as the Designer Breed Registry.

They make excellent family dogs as they are great around children of all ages and adore constant attention. It’s best to never leave a dog and a child together un-supervised though.

If you have a job that means you are out of the house all day then this breed may not be for you.
