Pocket Beagles

Beware of buying pocket beagles often these dogs are not even purebred beagles, but a cross with a Chihuahua.  If they are purebred beagles, they are made by breeding runts.

Either way this dog is not very healthy.  Many breed associations prohibit breeders from advertising pocket beagles or teacup beagles, because it is not a breed and it likely means it is done with an unscrupulous mind.

If you do want to buy a pocket beagle buy one carefully and make sure you get a health guarantee, as the long term health of these dogs is questionable.

Try and contact other owners and see what their experiences are.  Don’t just take the breeders word for it, but really examine if this is the type of dog you want to buy.

These dogs generally have a good attitude and are great if you live in a small house or apartment.

It is not such a good breed if you have small children around, as sometimes children will play too roughly with these little dogs.

Since some of these dogs are crosses with Chihuahuas, they may not look exactly like a miniature beagle, so be sure to ask the breeder exactly how these pocket Beagles were bred.
