Bogle

The Bogle is hybrid of two old hound dogs, the Boxer and the Beagle. The hybrid is a modern dog with no detailed history yet. Being a modern hybrid, bred as a designer dog, those interested in understanding the potential characteristics and traits of the Bogle will have to look at the parent breeds for insight. Beagles are well known for their vocal natures and can bay and bark with the best of them. Conversely, the Boxer breed is far less vocal and will only bark at strange noises or approaching strangers. You can expect your Bogle to reflect more Boxer when it comes to vocalizing. The Beagle was developed in England during the 1300s and may have roots extended further back to the Roman occupation as well and was brought to England in the 11th century by William the Conqueror. The breed was used mostly for hunting small game on foot but fell out of favor to the larger Foxhounds in the 1700s. If not for farmers, who continued to breed the Beagle to assist with vermin and rabbit hunting, this breed may have gone extinct. The Boxer is of the Tibetan line of Mastiffs and was developed primarily in Germany during the 16th century. The Boxer Breed Club was established in Munich in the 1800s and is thought to gain its name by the way it uses its paws in a fight, which resembles a boxer. The Boxer was first registered in the American Kennel Club in 1904 and today ranks among the top ten in breed popularity.
