What is a 'Beaglier'?
The Beaglier is a cross breed dog, bred from mixing a Beagle with a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. The aim of this mix, is to produce a hardy and family friendly dog, that has less scent and work drive than the pure bred Beagle. It is important to keep in mind and remember however, that even though the Cavalier is quite a placid and laid back dog, the Beagle is very outgoing and quite an active breed, and one must be prepared and consider the roots of the cross breed.
The Beagle genes are still quite dominant in this mix, and many of the offspring more closely resemble the Beagle traits, both in looks and often nature. Initial and ongoing training is very important for this breed, and it is important to remember that though training is imperative - instinct cannot be trained/un-trained, and must be worked with. Providing puzzles and mental stimulation, along with physical activity will ensure the best results. The Beaglier more commonly has a short/smooth coat like the Beagle, rather than the long feathered coat of the Cavalier. The smooth coated Beaglier does however inherit a more glossy and softer coat than the Beagles - who tend to have quite a thick and often more coarse coat.
Size and proportions can vary slightly among them, some Beagliers may be more solid and heavy set in build - whereas others may be leaner, longer, and more athletic. Beagliers are predominately tricolour, though can sometimes be lemon/blenheim and other colours, pending on the colour genes that the parent dogs carry.

Personality, characteristics and temperament
Gentle temperament and outgoing personality, the Beaglier is one that enjoys the company of its human (and canine for that matter) companions. Playful and inquisitive, the Beaglier is curious of new things. As a guard dog, the Beaglier is no great threat - though they do make a good watch dog, and will bark or notify their owners if there's someone strange or something that doesn't seem right. Sweet and affectionate dogs that make loving family members, and get along great with kids. The Beaglier makes a calm and gentle pet.
These adorable dogs have a high energy level, that is somewhat calmer than that of the Beagle – and more out going than the Cavalier. Sweet and gentle with correct and consistent training, Beagliers make great companions for families, and are a healthy happy go lucky canine. Beagliers inherit the beautiful loving nature of the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, though is more robust, active and healthy like the Beagle.
Charismatic and gentle, the Beaglier is a good choice for growing families looking for a dog that is equally as happy to lay on the lounge watching TV- as it is running along the beach or fetching a ball. An adaptable dog that can suit both city living and country life, give your Beaglier love and attention, with the opportunity to run and play - and they will be happy and content.
Grooming the Beaglier
The Beaglier is fairly basic in regards to the grooming department, with the short haired Beaglier requiring an occasional brush, and bath when necessary (do not bath more than once a month, as this can dry out natural bodily oils and cause skin irritations). Short haired Beagliers often possess a shiny, silk like coat that is very soft and smooth to the touch. Longer haired Beagliers will require brushing more regularly, though are still easy to groom and maintain.
Training your Beaglier
The Beaglier is one with fast learning potential, with both the Beagle and the Cavalier being good candidates for obedience training. These dogs have a good appetite, use food rewards in addition to positive reinforcement during training sessions. Keep training sessions short and sweet in order to keep your puppy focused. Crate training can be useful for housebreaking, however the crate should always be in a smaller area, with the crate door open. Give your dog the option to go in and out of their crate, and do not lock them in the crate. The aim of crate training is for it to be a safe haven, and positive place. Never harshly punish or hit you Beaglier. Reward positive behaviour, and ignore any negative behaviours, or offer alternatives to your puppy (e.g.; if your puppy is chewing your shoes do not yell at them or hit them, take the shoe off them and provide an alternative, by swapping the shoe with a rope or dental toy. Then put your shoes away and out of reach. All puppies will teethe and have the urge to mouth things, your dog is not being a naughty puppy, they simply do not know any better. Show them the right way.). Early socialisation will be beneficial, as with any breed and puppy pre school is recommended.
Housing a Beaglier and keeping them content
A beautiful, charismatic and energetic dog - the Beaglier is incredibly smart and scent driven. Having access to a backyard during the day, is essential for Beagliers. With space to run, play, sunbake, watch the birds and planes go by, and smell all the smells of their outdoor garden. A bored Beaglier, and one who does not receive sufficient mental stimulation and scent work (physical exercise alone is not enough for this breed) will become boisterous, destructive, and has a tendency to howl and escape. Setting up your securely fenced backyard, with bedding, housing, water in an undercover area (access to the laundry or a bathroom during the day can be a great idea, free range to the house is not advised for a Beaglier puppy or dog in training, though can work for senior dogs). Creating puzzles, games, and enjoyably activities is a must.
Kongs, treat puzzles, Bob-A-Lot toys and interactive toys that are rotated on a regular basis, work perfectly. Positioning a shell/clam kids pool in the backyard, and filling it with sand - provides a suitable place for your Beaglier to dig, and deters them from digging elsewhere. You can bury rope or rubber toys in their sandpit, along with liver treats, and sprinkle cinnamon in the sandpit - to attract them to dig and play in their designated spot. Digging in their own sandpit, will provide rewards and encourage them to dig in a desired location, but burying treats and sprinkling cinnamon - will also get their nose working. Nose work and mental stimulation is vital with any scent hound breed or cross breed, and physical activity and walks alone will not be sufficient in raising and keeping a settled, well adjusted dog.
