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

Height runs 9–12 inches at the shoulder, against 5–8 in for the Chihuahua and 13–15 in for the Beagle. 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 Chihuahua rates low and the Beagle moderate; a puppy may lean either way.

Grooming

Very low to moderate

A weekly brush and the odd bath keep the coat in shape.

Temperament

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