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 to very high

The Beagle rates moderate and the Cocker Spaniel very high; a puppy may lean either way.

Grooming

High

Expect regular brushing and professional grooming every few weeks.

Temperament

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