Facts & Origin
The Beaglier - a Beagle and Cavalier King Charles Spaniel mix
The Beaglier is a comparatively young hybrid breed resulting from the crossbreeding of the Beagle and Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. This mix was originally bred in Australia - with the aim of combining the robust health and lively energy of the Beagle with the even-tempered, affectionate nature of the Cavalier.
Criticism of designer dogs
Critics, however, see this breed primarily as a fashionable development in which the external appearance is sometimes placed above health or functionality . As with many designer dogs, the genetic diversity of the Beaglier is an advantage, but at the same time health problems or character traits of both original breeds can mix unpredictably .
Who is this dog suitable for?
Nevertheless, the Beaglier is now considered a popular family dog - friendly, playful and adaptable - and is well suited to people who are looking for a loyal companion who is available for both walks and cuddles .

Attitude, character and temperament of the breed
Possible character traits
The Beaglier's character combines typical traits of both parent breeds, giving it an exciting mix of liveliness, curiosity and affection. From the Beagle, he often inherits a keen sense of detection and a certain independence, while the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel gives him his loving, people-oriented nature. These dogs are considered friendly, playful and good-natured, although they can be very different in their nature - sometimes rather calm and cuddly, sometimes energetic and full of drive.
The Beaglier in everyday life
As the Beaglier likes to be on the move and at the same time likes to be close to people, it is ideal for active families, individuals with time on their hands, but also for older children who are looking for a four-legged playmate. He particularly enjoys long walks, sniffing training or intelligent games that challenge his nose and head in equal measure. It is important that he is neither physically nor mentally under- or overchallenged - and at the same time that his tendency to be stubborn is met with patience and loving consistency.

Health and breeding information
What diseases can occur?
As with many designer dogs, the Beaglier can suffer from health problems that can be inherited from both parents - the Beagle and the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. These include heart disease, particularly mitral endocardiosis, a common condition in Cavaliers. Hip dysplasia or patellar luxation can also occur, as can epilepsy, eye diseases (e.g. cataracts or progressive retinal atrophy) and ear infections, as the long, drooping ears are susceptible to moisture and germs. With insufficient exercise or incorrect feeding, some Beaglier also tend to become overweight, which in turn can lead to further health problems. A responsible breeder therefore pays particular attention to the health of the parent animals - regular veterinary checks are essential in any case.
What does this mixed breed look like?
The Beaglier is a charming mix of Beagle and Cavalier King Charles Spaniel - and this is also reflected in its appearance. Most Beagliars are medium-sized, with a compact but elegant build. Depending on their genetics, they usually weigh between 7 and 13 kilograms and reach a shoulder height of 30 to 40 cm. Their build is often stronger than that of a Cavalier, but more delicate than the typical Beagle.
The coat can be short, medium-length or slightly wavy - depending on which parent is more dominant. The coat color is also variable: classic Beagle colors such as tricolor (black, brown, white) are often found, as well as solid colors or softer Blenheim shades of the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. Their ears are usually long, soft and slightly hairy, their eyes large and expressive, with a friendly, alert gaze. Overall, the Beaglier looks like a small, sporty family dog with a lot of charm.
