Temperament and Behavior
Apart from being brave and curious as their Terrier parents, they have also inherited the loving and affectionate nature of the Beagle. As these dogs perfectly bond with their family members, they detest living in isolation. Their amicable nature makes them perfect playmates for kids and can also be easily won over by strangers, a trait that does not make them perfect guard dogs. The hunting and chasing instincts of both its parents and the smelling instinct of the Beagle inherent in them makes them good at chasing preys.
Care
Exercise
As it is, these dogs are quite active, when they stay indoors. As long as the TFB gets an adequate amount of space, they can entertain themselves meeting their daily requirement for activities. However, keeping in mind their fondness to explore the outside world and all their hunting instincts they are born with, you must take them out for a daily 30-minute walk. Take your dog to the dog-park or places they prefer. But remember, because of their immense curiosity, these dogs tend to get stolen or lost easily. Hence, do not forget its harness or leash unless your doggie is playing inside an enclosed area.
Grooming
The TFBs have a short coat, and the requirement for brushing them is also minimal. Comb their coat a couple of times every week just to maintain that gloss and keep them free from dead hairs. Brush their teeth twice or thrice a week to avoid tartar buildup. Bathing them once in every 1½ to 2 months is enough. But do keep an eye for any possible ear infections, which is very common with floppy-eared dogs.
Health Problems
The TFBs are generally healthy with no recorded instances of breed-specific health issues.
Training
With their intelligence, curiosity, and eagerness to please, these dogs are readily receptive to training.
- Socialization: Contrive fun ways to socialize your dog like throwing puppy parties where your dog can get the opportunity to meet many other breeds and people.
- Leash: This training is crucial. Choose a quiet spot that is without much distractions, like your backyard or a secluded park. Short leashes, less than two meters, are advisable.
- Behavioral Training: Expose them to unusual sights and sounds to help them get rid of suspicious behavior that often leads to a habit of nipping.
Diet/Feeding
Since these mixes are highly energetic, provide them with a nutritious diet rich in carbohydrate and protein. For them, both fish and meat can be a high source of proteins and energy, since these are the most basic needs of most hunting dogs. You can also feed them dry dog food twice daily to ward off possibilities of obesity.
