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

Height runs 12–15 inches at the shoulder, against 10–15 in for the Miniature Poodle and 13–15 in for the Beagle.

Size figures assume a Miniature Poodle parent, the size closest to the Beagle. A different poodle size moves the whole range.

Coat, energy and training

Shedding

Very low to moderate

Poodle has a low-shedding coat, so some puppies shed little. It is not guaranteed: coat type varies even within one litter, and no dog is truly hypoallergenic.

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 Poodle rates very high and the Beagle moderate; a puppy may lean either way.

Grooming

Moderate to very high

Expect regular brushing and professional grooming every few weeks.

Temperament

The Poodle is usually described as active, proud, very smart. 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.
