Breed Details
General
The Cheagles are hybrid dogs that are resulted from cross breeding of the Chihuahua and the Beagle. They are small sized dogs with a beagle head and chi's snout. They are loving, affectionate and family oriented dogs that have Beagle's hounding instincts in them. They are curious and playful dogs. Although Beagles are very good and tolerant with children, same cannot be said of Chihuahua. So it is wise to keep them away from children until your dog shows more Beagle behavior towards children.
Color
They are found in a variety of colours. Most common colours are light cream, brown and white, black and white, light brown with or without white patches, solid black or brown and many other colours.

Their coat is short and shiny and requires low maintenance.
Personality
The Cheagles are very brave, dignified, loving and sometimes jealous dogs. They are very loving dogs who love to get attention.
