Beagleman

The Beagleman, also commonly known as the DoBeagle, is a cross between the Beagle, a tracking dog, and a Doberman Pinscher, a dog bred as a personal protection animal. The Doberman Pinscher breed is a relatively new breed, developed by Karl Friedrich Louis Dobermann. Mr. Dobermann was a dog catcher and a tax collector in Germany during the 1890s, and he began developing the breed as a personal protection animal to accompany him on his job. He was looking to develop a medium to large sized dog with a naturally protective instinct and a reliable nature that was also intelligent, loyal, and brave. The Beagle is a small tracking dog that has been a popular animal both as a rabbit hunting companion and as a family dog for several centuries. The Beagle has been referred to by name in writings as far back as the 15th century, although the breed has undergone some changes throughout history. During the breed’s early development, these canines were bred in many sizes, including a pocket sized Beagle that grew to no larger than eight inches and the dog that Americans called a Beagle in the 17th century bore little resemblance to the English hound. Breed standards for the Beagle weren’t set in the late 1800s after the breed stabilized. The Beagle Club of England and the National Beagle Club in the United States were also being formed in the late 1800’s, and the Beagle was recognized in the Hound class by the American Kennel Club in 1885. Combining these two dog breeds typically creates a medium sized dog that is both friendly and naturally protective, with fewer health problems than either parent breed and minimal grooming requirements.
