Pounds. The dark band is where most Beagle Bloodhound Mix dogs end up; the light band is the full range between the smallest and largest parent.

Height runs 18–21 inches at the shoulder, against 13–15 in for the Beagle and 23–27 in for the Bloodhound. The parents differ a lot in size, so litters vary more than usual. Breeders normally use the larger breed as the mother to keep whelping safe.

Coat, energy and training

Shedding

Moderate

Neither parent has a low-shedding coat, so expect dog hair around the house and seasonal heavy shedding.

Energy

High

Plan on long daily walks plus real exercise, such as running, fetch or a sport. A yard alone will not tire this dog out.

Trainability

Moderate

The Beagle rates moderate and the Bloodhound low; a puppy may lean either way.

Grooming

Moderate

Brush a couple of times a week.

Temperament

The Beagle is usually described as friendly, curious, merry. The Bloodhound as friendly, independent, inquisitive. A mix can take after either parent or land in between. If you can, meet both parents of a puppy before you choose.
