Pit bull is a type, not one AKC breed. Size figures use the American Staffordshire Terrier standard.

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 Pit Bull rates moderate 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 Pit Bull is usually described as confident, smart, good-natured. 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.
