3 pros and cons of owning Poogle

Pros! Cons!
They’re hypoallergenic: Like most poodle hybrids, Beaglepoo shed very little, particularly if their coat takes after their toy poodle or miniature poodle side. Poogles who inherit the beagle’s shorter, coarser coat tends to shed a bit more and so, are less hypoallergenic. They may bark: Some Poogles are born barkers. While this can be useful if you want your dog to act as a watchdog, it’s definitely not behavior to encourage if you and your Poogle are apartment dwellers. The good news is that the right training can break your Poogle of its barking habit.
They’re easy to train: Beagles and poodles are both smart dogs, so it makes sense that their offspring have the capacity to learn quickly. Beagles are known to have a stubborn streak, though. You’ll need to begin training early, using consistent techniques that incorporate positive incentives. They’re prone to separation anxiety: Poogles are extremely sociable and don’t like being left alone for long periods of time. If you spend a lot of time out of your home in places where your Beapoo can’t accompany you, this is probably not the dog for you.
They’re good watchdogs: Poogles inherit their Beagles ancestors’ hunting instincts, so they’ll be the first to alert you if an unfamiliar person is somewhere on your property. They may have bad teeth: Toy poodles are prone to dental and periodontal issues, and your Beaglepoo may inherit these issues. It’s very important to brush your dog’s teeth daily.

Diet and Nutrition

As a small-breed dog, the Poogle requires a high-quality commercial dog food diet that is formulated for small-breed dogs. Small-breed dog formulas are specially designed to meet the high-energy needs of small, active dogs.

Because the Poogle is the result of crossing two intelligent breeds, it too is quite smart.

Weight

The average Poogle weighs between 11 and 25 lbs. at maturity. The size may vary depending on the amount of each parent breed in its heritage. For example, a Poogle bred from a Beagle and a standard Poodle would likely be larger one bred from a Beagle and a miniature or toy Poodle.

How easy are Poogle to train?

Because the Poogle is the result of crossing two intelligent breeds, it too is quite smart. Poogles tend to respond well to training and they typically pick up tricks quickly. The Poogle is naturally eager to please so, once trained, they also enjoy showing off the tricks they have learned.

How healthy are Poogle?

Coat

The appearance of the Poogle’s coat will vary depending on its breeding, but most exhibit something in between the short coat of a Beagle and the dense, curly coat of a Poodle. Many Poogles have medium-length, wavy hair – especially on the muzzle, cheeks, and forehead. These dogs exhibit a wide range of colors including white, black, brown, gray, tan and any combination of these. Poogles with longer hair tend to require more frequent grooming while Poogles with a short coat require only weekly brushing and combing. Poogles with a long or curly coat may need to be clipped into either a Poodle or a Puppy clip.

AKC

The Poogle is not recognized by the AKC because it is technically a hybrid of two pure breeds rather than a new breed. This breed is, however, recognized by the American Canine Hybrid Club, the Designer Dogs Kennel Club, and the International Designer Canine Registry.

Puppies

Poogle puppies look like cute little bundles of fur – they love to play and they never get tired of cuddling. A healthy diet is important to ensure that your Poogle puppy matures and develops properly. Early training and socialization is also recommended for Poogle puppies.
