The history of the breed of dog called the beagle is largely unknown. Some say the breed dates back to 200 A.D. The breed began to be referred to as “Beagle” in the 1800s. A beagle mix will have variations of the characteristics of both its parents. Purebred beagles are consistent in temperament, body dimensions, and known characteristics of this specific breed. In crossbreeding, the most popular breeds to cross are pugs and poodles. They are also the most common type of beagle mix.
