Species group: Mixed Breeds

The basics:
RightPet does not advocate the intentional cross-breeding of purebred dogs. But the reality is that most dogs available for adoption at shelters and rescues are mixed breeds. We think it might be helpful to hear from owners of these mixes to see what traits can be found in these dogs who are desperately needing homes.

Probably to preserve the unique characters of the Black and Tan Coonhound, the pairing between a Beagle and this Coonhound isn't all that common, but you may occasionally encounter this mix in a rescue.

Appearance / health:
While all mixed-breed dogs can vary in appearance, the Beagle / Black and Tan Coonhound Mix will be a scenthound that could turn out larger than you expected.

Behavior / temperament:
While it's impossible to predict the exact personality of a mixed-breed dog, this cross of two scenthounds has a high chance of giving you an animal that can't resist investigating interesting smells and perhaps taking off. Leash training could be invaluable.
