The Beagle Pit is a mix between the Beagle and the Pit Bull.  It is believed that hybrid was developed in the United States within the past 20 years.  The Beagle Pit will have attributes from both parents and will be a sturdy medium sized dog with a short coat, so the grooming requirements are not extensive. This hybrid does well in most environments but not in extreme heat or cold temperatures. The Beagle Pit is a loving and affectionate companion dog, protective of their family, and make an excellent watch dog. Owners of the Beagle Pit say they are easy to train but can be independent and may not be ideal if you are owning a dog for the first time.

Beagle Pit Breed History

The history of both parent breeds can gave an idea of the background of your hybrid as the Beagle Pit is not yet documented in the history books. It is believed that Beagle-type dogs have existed for over 2,500 years. The modern breed originated in Great Britain around the 1800s. They were bred to track rabbits with their keen sense of smell and ability to follow a trail for miles. These scent hounds were much smaller than the Beagle of today, fitting into the hunter’s pocket. Still, their skill was such that breeders wanted to increase the size of the breed but keep the innate hunting attributes in the dog. Beagles were imported into United States in the 1860s and the Beagle was accepted as a breed by the American Kennel Club in 1885. Today, The American Kennel Club ranks the Beagle breed as in the top ten of popular dogs. One of the most famous Beagles known is Snoopy, the Peanuts comic strip character who entertained many with his antics as the Red Baron atop his doghouse. “Pit Bull” is the common name for canines including the American Pit Bull Terrier, the Staffordshire Bull Terrier, the American Staffordshire Bull Terrier, and the American Bully. Pit Bulls were created by breeding Bulldogs and Terriers together. First used in the bull-baiting and dog-fighting rings, they moved on to a gentler life as the companion we see today. Moving on from Europe, the  Pit Bull was brought to the United States by European immigrants during the 1800’s. Selective breeding was then used to increase their weight and enlarged their heads. Pit Bulls are extremely loyal dogs, trained to be soldiers, police dogs, search and rescue dogs, and therapy dogs. They have been part of television shows and movies such as the Little Rascals, Pit Bull and Parolees, Flashdance, Parks and Recreation, No Country for Old Men and John Wick 2. (John Wick 1 feature a Beagle.) The Beagle Pitbull mix is recognized by the Dog Registry of America as being an official mixed-breed dog.

Beagle Pit Breed Appearance

The Beagle Pit will have characteristics of both his parents. He will be a medium size dog weighing 30 to 40 pounds and will have a muscular, strong and athletic build. The Beagle Pit may have brown eyes and floppy ears and the hybrid can have a square shaped head. The coat will be short with a mix of fine and coarse hair and may be black, brown, gray, white, red, blue, or brindle. Some hybrids may have a few wrinkles. The Pit Bull does have powerful jaw but not as strong as other breeds like the German Shepherd, Mastiff, Doberman or Rottweiler.

Beagle Pit Breed Maintenance

The Beagle Pit has a short coat, which only requires combing or brushing once a week. Bathing can be done monthly if needed. This sturdy hybrid should have his nails trimmed on a bi-weekly basis; if you see him limping, the feet should be the first place you check for injury. The teeth should not be neglected; a thrice weekly brushing should be the minimum. Your Beagle Pit may have a predisposition to allergies or skin trouble; when brushing him be certain to have a quick look at the skin for redness or irritation. If your pet is showing signs of itching or discomfort, consult the veterinarian so that he can evaluate the skin.

Beagle Pit Temperament

The Beagle Pit will have the character and personality traits of both his parents. Most likely he will be friendly, loving, playful and protective of the family. He will be a high energy dog with a lot of stamina. Both the Pit Bull and the Beagle are intelligent and highly trainable breeds though they can be a little stubborn with a streak of independence. He may be a barker or howler; the breed may suffer from separation anxiety, which may cause him to bark and chew on furniture. It is important to socialize them at an early age with strangers and children. As both parent breeds have somewhat of a prey drive, keep your Beagle Pit on leash at all times when walking him. Be certain to always be the pack leader in this relationship.  

Beagle Pit Activity Requirements

The Beagle Pit enjoys daily walks, play and exercise. Because this breed has a lot of energy, he will do better with an active family who lives in a home with a large fenced yard. The Beagle Pit has plenty of enthusiasm and spark, making for an eager exercise companion.  He enjoys adventures such as hiking, jogging and camping. The Beagle Pit, if socialized at an early age, will enjoy visiting a dog park where he can run off energy and play with other dogs. This breed does best in moderate temperatures; on a hot day provide shade and water. In the cooler months, make sure your pet has a comfy sweater if outdoor activities are planned.

As a first time dog owner (besides when I was a child living with my parents), there were certainly some challenges with owning a BeagleBull as my first pet but he's the best little pal a guy could ask for! I adopted him when he was 4 months and now he is about 2 and a half years. I've never seen a dog so eager to snuggle and sleep for hours on end but also always ready for a long walk or play session. He is easy to train and can pick up *certain* new commands quickly (still can't get roll over to work with him...) but also is selective when he chooses to listen. I would say on an average day he needs about 50-60 minutes of exercise in a given day, with walks and a weekly dog park visit his go to's. I live in an apartment so had to train him not to bark or howl when alone, this was a process that took a couple months to get down but became a learned behavior with constant reinforcement and training. And lastly, he is overall very friendly but has certain people that seem to rub him the wrong way. Overall, wouldn't change a thing with this little guy besides being more patient - even to this day.

Tug of War,
When I first got my fur baby he was small enough to set right in my hand and now the only time I plan on carrying him is when he gets sick. He loves everyone so be careful how many socializing u give him. I'm trying to teach him now that not everyone likes puppies. He has bad separation anxiety whenever I leave (yep he a momma's boy) even if there is someone else even another dog around to keep him busy while I'm gone but he still has to lick (wash my head) my face and ears with little nibbles on my ears but I taught him when he was little to nibble easily or I know that he could hurt me now.v He loves to go for walks I encourage that even when they are small & cute still always keep on leash. I did not put a leash on him until he was 4 1/2-5 months old and he is now like 8 months old and I am still working with him trying to get him to stop pulling He has always and still does no matter what I do or how many toys chew treats he has (50+) he still feels that he has to chew on me once in a while. He has rope toys, he loves loves his squeaky toys, different squeaky sounds help. Rubber toys, toys that u can put peanut butter or just small treats in etc... but after going through all his toys and stuff he can play with he still has energy and I'm ready for a little nap. He just keeps on going so if u want a companion that can keep going and going this is a great mix breed. He plays ruff if u allow him to but be careful because he has been known to bite to hard and break my skin so teach him what ouch is when small. They don't know their own strength so teaching him to be gentle would be wise when he a puppy. I have not had any health problems with him since I got him. I only feed him Blue Buffalo puppy dry food 1 1/2 cups in the am and another 1 1/2 cups in the evening. Only Blue Buffalo puppy treats. He does not get any people food at all except peanut butter for medicine only. Just glad he does not have a peanut allergy. I guess I can thank God that he has been very healthy since I got him. He needs some attention now so I will have to go. God Bless You All and your fur babies Happy Holidays

We adopted, well rescued Peppa in November of 2021. Took her to the vet for checkup and shots and learned she is around 1 years one. She was very hesitant and skiddish at first but now she is a happy lovable energetic ball of sunshine. She really loves car rides and I have to say is "wanna go for a ride" and she runs to the door, tail wagging. She also enjoys time outside running around, she is very energetic and ready to run around at any moment. She was trained to sit within a week or two of us having her, so she is very smart, she also doesn't potty in the house at all. She loves to cuddle and is just a lovable dog. She tried to get along with our 10-year-old cat but the cat really wants nothing to do with her, go figure. lol She has brought so much life to our house.

Rescued as a 1 year old at a rest stop in Tennessee near the Ocoee River. Chilling dog most of time until she sneaks out of house or yard then she loves to run pacing husband’s car as he beeps the horn. High anxiety in car so she only rides in husband’s old car occasionally. Destroys stuffed animal toys. Gouges mouth and eyes out then abandons the leftover toy

She has a ton of energy but can spend the whole day sleeping on the couch. When we're at the dog park though, she runs like she's never tasted freedom before (she has, I swear). She's easy to train but she decides when she feels like being obedient. She always wants to get as close to us as possible, even when there's not enough room on the couch, she'll end up jumping up on the back part of the couch just so be near us.

He is a high energy dog. We do an hour walk in the morning and an hour at the dog park or hiking in the afternoon. Many people comment on how FAST he is when he is being chased (one of his favorite activities at the park). When we can't fit in his exercise on our own we take him to day care. He gets along with most dogs, all adults and most kids. We call him our velcro dog. He wants to be apart of whatever we are doing although he does well at home by himself as well. He is a power chewer also. Will destroy any new toys within a matter of minutes. Bones seem to be the best route. Our favorite part about him is snuggling. He is the best cuddler at the end of a long day.

Cocoa Beans is very energetic, she is nonstop. Our daycare said she is the most high energy out of the high energy group and makes sure they are all ready to play with her. When she is worn out she is the most affectionate dog. She has a little brother our Mini Ratzer that is just as high energy and affectionate as she is so they are always together.

Right now we are still very much in the training stage with him being 4 months and just adopting him from the SPCA. The toughest part is teaching him to not play bite because he gets worked up fast and becomes aggressive. If we can get our proper amount of play time and exercise in, then no problems! He is an excellent snuggler and gives amazing kisses! He’s very much a puppy and we see him learning every day! He is a sweetheart!

O my heavens where do I start! This pup picked us. He is a rather large, fit, excitable, who has brought so much joy into this home. He's gentle giant. a trusting companion around my 1.5 year old grandson. Marley does not know how large he is when jumping on our bed. When his humans givs him lovin, he will find every noon and cranny to snuggle his snout as a way to show his love and appreciation. His appetite is furocious. He is food motivated. Marley has very short hair and so easy to maintain. He has a way to make you fall in love. He is a busy guy. Love the helicopter fur mom I read somewhere. You must be the helicopter fur mom when your beagle pit is not crated. He loves to please. Marley is scared of car rides. I wish our bed was bigger because he is a snuggle bug. He is the center of attention without realizing it. Marley you are a special part of our family. I am so glad you rescued us! I promise to give you a good home, filled with treats, dog food and all the love, discipline and love we can give you son.

Baby was a challenging puppy - biting (enough to draw blood) on a regular basis. This was due to excitement rather than aggression. Baby is sweet and gentle around all people and animals (dogs and cats). She grew out of the constant biting, but is easily aroused and gets mouthy when she gets excited. She is food oriented and was easy to train. She rides in the car well, and adapts to all situations. She depends on routine and requires three walks a day. She loves her family and is very protective. At the same time, she welcomes everyone who comes in the house with love and affection.

ive had my son since he was born. My roomate owned a beagle male, who got out one day and mated with a rednose female pit. After the litter came, it was about 8 puppies. Hubert was the only one hiding in the corner, alone so i had to take him! I've noticed the occasional skin/allergie flareups (eggs help). And i definetely see what bringing him around dog parks more would have done. He freaks out over most small breeds or other pits he encounters. If im having New company over, he will PRESS that person until he feels comfortable. He also clenched onto a girl once when she began playfighting with me at my home. This was her first time over so that had to be what caused his reaction. he just held his jaw there and scared her, no injuries. He's so responsive, incredibly smart, opens numerous types of doors etc

Benji is a high energy boy! He has his slow moments running into walls but for the most part he’s pretty smart. He enjoys running around, dog parks, and food. As a puppy he was very hard to train especially house breaking as far as using the bathroom. He’s better now but he still has his hard head moments. Benji loves to cuddle and just be on me some type of way. Definitely hates being alone or being crated but he does have to when i’m not home because he will make a mess. Love him to death !!
