Coat, energy and training

Shedding

Moderate to very high

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 Dalmatian moderate; 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 Dalmatian as dignified, smart, outgoing. A mix can take after either parent or land in between. If you can, meet both parents of a puppy before you choose.
