The Basset Hound-Beagle mix, also known as a Bagle, is a popular cross between two purebred dogs - the Basset Hound and the Beagle.

One disease that is particularly common in Basset Hound-Beagle mixes is intervertebral disc disease (IVDD). IVDD is a disease of the intervertebral discs in which the discs degenerate or prolapse, causing pain and/or nerve damage. Dogs with IVDD may require surgery to correct the problem.
Another common health problem in Basset Hound-Beagle mixes is Cherry Eye. Cherry eye is a condition in which the third eyelid, the nictitating membrane, protrudes or pops out.

Surgery is usually required to correct the problem.
Hip dysplasia is another health problem that occurs in some Basset Hound-Beagle mixes. Hip dysplasia is a condition of the hip joint where the ball and socket do not fit together properly, resulting in pain and lameness. Hip dysplasia can be treated with medication, weight management and/or surgery depending on the severity of the condition.
