Facts & Origin
Beagle and Golden Retriever mix - a hybrid breed.
The Beago is a very popular mixed breed. They are intelligent, energetic and affectionate. These two breeds spend a lot of time together and develop a strong bond with each other. The Beagle is playful, curious and very friendly, while the Golden Retriever has a slightly more serious, but still intolerant personality. Although they have different traits, they complement each other wonderfully and can be a fantastic partner. Both have a soft and loving charm and a strong affection for their families. In this blend of intelligence and friendliness, you can find a reliable and loyal companion for anyone. I guess you could call them mini Golden Retrievers, although of course they can be very similar in character to Beagles.

Health and breeding information
What diseases can occur in Beagle and Golden Retriever Mix.
Beagles are a popular choice for families and older adults, but like any breed, they have some congenital health issues. Since the transmission of genetic defects is difficult to predict when crossing two different breeds of dogs, owners want to select a healthy puppy and have it undergo routine veterinary exams on a regular basis.
A common disease that Beagle Golden Retriever mixes suffer from is HD (hip dysplasia). This disease affects the hip joint and can cause pain and stiffness. A routine vet visit includes an x-ray of the hip joint to see if a puppy is susceptible.
Another problem these mixed breeds sometimes have is a kidney disease called portosystemic shunt. This is a malignant condition that causes toxic substances to leak into the bloodstream. Unfortunately, there is no cure, but early diagnosis and treatment can slow the progression of the disease.
High calcium and hypothyroidism are other common diseases of Beagle Golden Retriever mixes. High calcium causes a slowing of the heartbeat and hypothyroidism can cause a decreased growth rate and activity. Both of these problems can be treated with medication.
In addition, mixed breeds are prone to eye disease, especially cataracts. This problem can lead to partial blindness. Routine eye examinations by a veterinarian are required for early diagnosis of this condition.
