Generally, miniature poodles are the dog breed used in programs for producing Poogles.

It’s believed the poogle was born in the 1980s. The development of the dog breed came through a crossing of the purebred beagle and poodle. The exact origin location is unknown, but there’s evidence the crossbreed traces back to the states.

The poogle inherits its colors and appearance from the ruling genes of its ancestry. This is why it can look like a poodle or a beagle.

The poogle loves being around family and makes for a great companion. They’re solid watchdogs, love being showered with affection, and easily adjust to both in- and outdoor conditions.

PROS!CONS!

Poogles don’t shed: They are minimal shedders. This means less pet dander around the house and fewer allergens for respiratory sufferers.Separation anxiety is common: They are not the ideal pet for households where they’ll be left alone for significant hours of the day. Poogles do not like being alone.
Poogles are generally healthy:
These are long-lived dogs with few genetic health defects. They are susceptible to inheriting conditions from their parents though.

Poogle Temperament and Behavior

The poogle is probably the friendliness dog you’ll come across. They love being around family and other dogs. Their typical behavior is enthusiasm, alertness and an eagerness to please. They entertain themselves indoors and adjust easily to outdoor environments.

They embrace interaction with their family members, mixing it up especially well with kids. Poogles are relatively quiet but quite vocal if they suspect suspicious activity. Other traits include a love of attention, and being admired and praised.

While a poogle’s personality makes it a top choice for multi-animal homes, they will need to be socialized at early ages with other pets. Otherwise, they grow with a tendency to go after smaller animals and cats.

The poogle is an exceptionally intelligent animal. Brave with the instincts of a hunter.

How To Take Care of a Poogle

Poogles are beautiful pets with playful natures, beautiful colors in their coats and large soulful eyes. They’re affectionate and love their families. But none of this matters if your crossbreed, starting as early as being a puppy, isn’t given the care it needs.

Food and Diet

Being a small dog breed, your poodle beagle mix will need a unique diet. It’s advised you feed a poogle a dry food as advised by a vet, breeder or another expert. It should be a small breed formula specifically designed to fulfill high energy requirements.

The poogle is a dog that shouldn’t just be fed anything that’s available. Meals should be supervised and specialized. You also want to manage two to three meals a day. This is necessary for keeping the dog’s digestive system on track and getting them into healthy, regular eating habits.

Maintenance and Grooming

Grooming your poogle is dependent on the coat they have. Some need daily brushing. Others have medium coats that only require brushing every couple of weeks. There are long-coated, close-clipping dogs that minimize time spent grooming more.

Regardless of hair length and colors, these animals shed far less frequently than long-hair animals. This makes the poogle a great dog for homes where people with dog allergies or respiratory problems reside.

Their ears, usually covered in hair, can catch debris and moisture. They will require cleaning to prevent infections. You can buy them at pet stores as well. If there is an infection, vets can prescribe medications.

Poogles require monthly nail trimmings and hair brushing to manage long-term positive health. Poogles are prone to dental disease. So their mouths and teeth need cleaning at least three times a week.

Training

Poogles, in general, are highly trainable and, like its poodle crossbreed, can have a temperament for pleasing their owner. Not all poogles are amenable though. If more like the independent-minded beagle, the poogle can resist basic obedience.

These dogs can be stubborn. Training will require patience and time, using positive motivation. Dog trainers find a positive technique more effective. It fosters bonding with your dog. Harsh treatment is simply counterproductive. It destroys any trust you hope to build with the pet.

Poogles are sharp. They pick up tricks quickly and their need to please make them big show-offs. The moderate to high energy they inhibit can be burned off during training if the training motivates the dog.

Part of the training has to be regular walks and playtime. Most of this variety love to swim. If so, dogs with shorter legs shouldn’t go in without a doggy life jacket.

Exercise

This dog breed with a high to moderate energy level. This means they need plenty of exercise. You should take your pet for daily walks (at least three a day). Give him playtime every day to avoid behavior problems and boredom. For good health, find 30 minutes for your poogle to exercise every day.

Poogle Puppies

It’s important to start training and socialization of puppies as early as six months. They do love to play and if training accommodates this energy it should be a smooth process.

If you want a puppy, work with a reputable breeder. This greatly increases your chance of having a healthy, happy puppy. If you go the rescue route, check with local shelters, SPCAs, poodle and beagle rescue foundations in your area.

Poogle and Children

Poogles are the ideal family dog for active families with older kids. If there are young kids or babies, wait until kids are older. Families with small children may not have the energy or time to properly care for a demanding poogle.

Dogs Similar to Poogles

As a member of the poodle and beagle families, the poogle is similar in many ways to a variety of dogs. Here are three breeds that are different but close to the poogle.

  • Labradoodle: This is a mashup of two very popular dog breeds, the labrador and poodle. It makes for a great family crossbreed. The labradoodle has a great temperament. It has a high tolerance for children, is easy to train, and promises low shedding
  • Biewer Terrier: The breeding of the Biewer Terrier is the occurrence of a recessive piebald gene. Terrier dogs are friendly, energetic and playful. Reaching around four pounds maximum weight, they can range in size despite being relatively small.
  • Harrier: The harrier is the beagle on steroids. Like the poogle, the dog breed is playful and a little silly. This dog will let you know there’s trouble. He’ll also moan and grumble when he’s not too happy.
