Are mini or pocket beagles recognized by AKC? and do you have a website where I can find more information about them? Please don't tell me to google it, If you have anymore information about them can you tell me, Thanks!
Has anyone on here ever owned one? was it a good or bad experience? was it hard or easy to train, did your dog listen or run off alot. any info would be great.
From what I heard a long time ago they where used by hunters, because they where so small they could go under bushes to chase out the rabbits, also the hunters could put them in their saddle bags, this is where they got their names pocket beagles? thats what I heard, but anyways have you ever owned one?
For AKC, beagles come in 2 sizes 13" and 15". The "mini beagle" would simply be a "designer" beagle. Beware of anyone selling "mini" this, or "teacup" that, as it's not always a purebred dog. Most of the time, when someone is trying to scale down a dog, they are cross breeding with a small dog of different breed in order to achieve the size they want.
You may be referring simply to the smaller of the 2 beagles, as these would fall in the 13" category. Any dog up to 13" would fall under this category. So, if someone is trying to sell you a, say, 8" beagle, it would simply be the 13" beagle.
Always ask to see the parents of the litter.
There is no such thing, so no they are NOT recognized by the AKC.

no as all they are is made up names for rut type beagles often due to the inbreeding to get them that small. Due to the inbreeding these dogs are often very unhealthy and have a short life span along with very high vet bill.

To my knowledge there is only one size of Beagle recognised by the AKC.

technically, any beagle not bigger than 13" is considered a 13" beagle.
even the "pocket beagles" are just really small 13"beagles.
if they were recognized by the AKC, you could have easily found that out by doing your own research on the breed(or pretend breed).
anything smaller than 13" on beagles is still a 13"beagle!

Beagles as a whole breed are recognized by the AKC… mini or pocket sized beagles are just the runts of the litter or created by mating 2 beagle runts… which should never be done, dogs should be bred to improve the breed standard and this just makes dogs with a miriad of health problems
the beagles that were hunting dogs were just regular beagles, they are pretty small to being with
