Care and Training: The coat of a Boston-Beagle is simple to care for, only requiring a brushing once or twice a week. Their ears should be cleaned once a week and nails trimmed when needed. Since smaller dogs are prone to dental issues, owners are recommended to use dog-friendly toothpaste when brushing their Boston-Beagle’s teeth.

History: The Boston-Beagle breed is made by crossing purebred Boston Terrier and Beagles. The history of this designer breed is poorly documented. Breeders say that to understand the history of the Boston-Beagle, the history of their parent breeds must be known. Beagles, the breed Boston-Beagles get a lot of their personality traits from, are said to be from before the Roman times and were a mix between English Hounds and the Harrier. They came to the United States in 1642 and were recognized by the American Kennel Club (AKC) in 1885. Around 1870, a Bostonian man brought a dog mixed with Bulldog and English White Terrier into Boston and this is the original ancestor to the Boston Terriers. The dog’s name was Judge. The Boston Terrier was accepted by the AKC in 1893.

First Registered by the AKC: The Boston-Beagle is not recognized by the American Kennel Club, as it is considered to be a hybrid breed.
