Beaglier: A Popular Cross Between the Beagle and the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel

Originating in Australia, the Beaglier is a cross between the Beagle and the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. The goal in breeding the Beaglier was to create a small, energetic dog like the Beagle, but with less of a scent drive. Combining the easygoing nature of the Cavalier and the loyalty of the Beagle, Beagliers make wonderful family dogs.

  • Temperament

    Given the lovable traits of the Beagle and Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, the Beaglier is a pup with a great personality. It's difficult to predict whether a Beaglier will favor the Beagle, Cavalier, or both. However, in general, Beagliers are docile, friendly, and full of affection. They also do very well with children and other dogs. Like the Beagle, the Beaglier loves to explore with its nose and track down interesting scents. For this reason, it's a good idea to keep Beagliers in a fenced-in yard or somewhere they can't wander off. Training a Beaglier may be more or less difficult depending on the dog's personality. While Cavaliers are eager to please, Beagles tend to be a bit stubborn. So, Beagliers tend to fall somewhere in the middle. All in all, the Beaglier makes a delightful companion for many different types of homes.

  • Grooming

    The Grooming requirements of Beagliers depend on the coat they inherit from the parent breeds. Short coated Beagliers should be brushed weekly, while longer coated Beagliers may require daily maintenance. It is also important to regularly check their ears for excess moisture that can lead to infection.

    Beagliers shed moderately throughout the year. When seasons change you can expect this breed to shed heavily.

Today, the breed is recognized by several hybrid dog clubs including the American Canine Hybrid Club (ACHC) and the Designer Dogs Kennel Club (DDKC).
