He's a working beagle, definitely with two beagle parents but was just wondering if you think there are any other breeds along the line in him? And if so which breeds? He's quite tall-when I measured him around 19.5cm but I'm not sure if I'm doing it right, and he has all the typical characteristics of a beagle. Here are some pics: Him at 8 weeks - http://www.flickr.com/photos/76016647@N04/6973182611/ Around 8/9 months http://://www.flickr.com/photos/76016647@N04/6827065330/ About a year old - http://www.flickr.com/photos/76016647@N04/6973183031/ Him now - http://www.flickr.com/photos/76016647@N04/6827065956/ Thanks!
What did you get him as ?? I used to walk a Harrier hound and people thought he was a Beagle cross...
As a beagle, both his parents were clearly beagles and when we went to puppy and dog training the guy who runs is is a hound/gun dog expert who goes on crufts and stuff and he said he was a really nice looking beagle and didn't think he was that mixed! Harriers are lovely dogs, nicer looking than the 'show' beagle I think
Their are a few Beagle owners on here ,they will know better than i ...lol Is there a working line beagle that differs to the short dome headed show type /?
This is my first time on here so I wouldn't know how to ask them! Do you know how? Yes I think so, as if you look at farm beagles they look similar to him and I bought him from a farm
Here is a photo of a champion working beagle ( at the bottom of the page, after the Harrier photos). Harrier & Beagle photos They look quite different to show beagles, much more similar to smaller Harriers. Your's looks midway between the two types, maybe a working/show cross? So still a beagle but from two different types?
Thanks very much me too puppy photos are the best! Thanks for your opinion! Anyone else have any opinions?
Yes I think you're right! That would definitely make sense! Thanks very much, I agree he does look like a mixture between working and show
Here is another photo of working beagles, not unlike yours: hunting beagles He certainly doesn't look pure show type, but that doesn't mean he isn't pure beagle.
There is a thread going back a while about someone who bought a beagle pup and when it grew they thought it was a harrier ..... If i find it i will put a link up..
Thanks you've been really helpful! I didn't know working beagles were still pure beagle but it's great to know! Here are a few more pics I could find.
