Beagle Shiba Inu Mix
A Beagle Shiba Inu mix is a cross between a Beagle and a Shiba Inu. Most grow into small dogs of 15–25 lb and live 12–16 years.
Photos show the purebred parents. There is no single look for a mix: puppies in one litter can resemble either side.
How big does a Beagle Shiba Inu Mix get?
Pounds. The dark band is where most Beagle Shiba Inu Mix dogs end up; the light band is the full range between the smallest and largest parent.
Height runs 13–16 inches at the shoulder, against 13–15 in for the Beagle and 13.5–16.5 in for the Shiba Inu.
Coat, energy and training
Neither parent has a low-shedding coat, so expect dog hair around the house and seasonal heavy shedding.
Plan on long daily walks plus real exercise, such as running, fetch or a sport. A yard alone will not tire this dog out.
The Beagle rates moderate and the Shiba Inu low; a puppy may lean either way.
Brush a couple of times a week.
Temperament
The Beagle is usually described as friendly, curious, merry. The Shiba Inu as alert, active, attentive. A mix can take after either parent or land in between. If you can, meet both parents of a puppy before you choose.
