The Peagle is a small-statured, cute looking designer breed created by crossing the Beagle and Pekingese. They are characterized with a round head, well-set eyes, and soft floppy ears. They may have a short coat similar to the Beagle or a longer one as their Pekingese parent. Their charming appearance and pleasant personality have made them immensely popular as pets.

History
Though the history of creating this breed is unknown, breeders may have crossed them with the Pekingese and Beagle to obtain a dog that would have an adorable lap dog appearance like the former as well as attain the intelligence of the latter.
Temperament
The Peagle is fun loving and amicable along with an even temperament and gentle disposition, providing pleasure to the family members. They are perfect family dogs, bonding well with members of their household. Their level of curiosity is similar to both their parents and they also desire for love and affection always. While the Beagles love to be in the company of children, the Pekingese is not a good choice for homes with small kids as they dislike being teased or handled roughly. Though this breed is mostly child-friendly, you might spot the trait of the Pekingese in some of them. However, parents should make sure that the little ones are not rough or rash to them as these small-sized, fragile dogs need careful handling
Following the footsteps of its parents, it may be wary of the presence of strangers, barking instantly on seeing an unfamiliar face at the door. Having the Beagle as one of its parents, it might also have the smelling and chasing instinct.
Care
Exercise
These active dogs require a moderate amount of activities. You can take them to a dog park or on a brisk walk daily. As they have a playful nature, keep them entertained with a lot of exciting toys. If you find the chasing instinct inherent in them, then use a leash while taking them out.
Grooming
As they are prone to excessive shedding it is required to brush their coats on a regular basis. It is also essential to wipe their eyes to prevent any discharge from accumulating as well as clean their ears.
Health Problems
Some of the common health problems include cherry eye, luxating patella, epilepsy and back problems. They may also suffer from respiratory problems just like their Pekingese parent.
Training
These smart and intelligent dogs are easy to train requiring a tactful and patient trainer who can help in developing their personality in a pleasing way. Imparting socialization and obedience training to the Peagle puppies is essential to help them get along well with unknown people and pets. As they have the scope of being good sniffers and chasers like the Beagle, the owners should take special initiatives in developing this skill or send them to a grooming school to be trained well. Rather than being harsh it is better to opt for methods of positive reinforcement to make the training procedure successful.
Feeding
It is required to give these dogs half to one cup of dry dog food on a daily basis. You can also introduce a variety of foods with a high nutritional value, but avoid overfeeding them as it can make them obese.
FAQ’s
My peagle Ivy, is the best thing that happened in my life. She says it’s my mood. And comes Close to comfort me. She’s very smart, loved in the neighborhood by everyone. I couldn’t made a better choice at my age to choose such a great loving companion. We travel all over And. She’s really good.
I love my dog to no end. She is amazing.
Do you sell peagles
I tell something they are amazing! At Christmas, I wanted to buy my wife a beautiful small creature cause she had been asking and I have always raised Huskies–which can been quite hyperactive sometimes in a bad way! So myself and DAD went to the pet store and check it out! The manager said have you seen a designer breed—so of course being a smart butt— I said you mean a mutt–she laughs of course to make the sell! When we went to look there 2 left-one was brown and white and twice the size of the rutt–the little second pup mmediately came to the front and I said DAD lets out here and go to dinner! At DINNER DAD said do you want there pup cause if you don’t I am getting him! SO MAKE A LONG STORY SHORT WE WENT AND GOT THE PUPPY–the best pup that I have ever had! When we and took him in my house DAD said missy come here and look at that rat–she actually starting crying and told her that is the best rat that u will ever have! Today he weighs 32 lbs. Plays,loves,and I really wish there were more around!! He is brown
And tan
My Peagle pup, Peanut is the sweetest. He loves children and enjoys affection. He does indeed bark at strangers entering the home, but I honestly couldn’t ask for a better dog.
We just lost our sweet little Peagle Cooper. He was the best! Such a big personality! He had such unique quirks and such a presence when he was in a room. He always brought a smile to everyone’s face when he met them because of that personality/presence and the unique look of the breed. He will be greatly missed, but what a joy to have for the 14 years that we did. AMAZING breed
My Peagle Buddy just had to be put down due to incurable illness. He was only 11 yrs old. He suffered with severe anemia for a year and then developed degenerative myeloipathy. We painfully watched the most loving, sweetest dog deteriorate rapidly – he was too young to die but sadly he had the illness traits from each side of his breed against him. He suffered a lot. There is not a more charming, beautiful, loving and sweet natured dog and while I’d like to highly recommend people adopting or buying one, I can’t because the pain you will suffer from their loss, too soon and with terrible illness, will be too devastating. They are little people in a dogs body, so smart, so good, so happy and affectionate. Actually, better than most people – we’ll love him to our dying day and I am banking on all dogs (and cats) going to Heaven! I have to.
So sorry for your loss
My Peagle is the sweetest dog ever! she is full of love for the whole family. However, she has a problem with scooting her butt all over everything! I have no idea what to do about it. I have had her anal glands extracted and that didn’t seem to help after some time…maybe I need to have it done more often? or change her food…just don’t know to what…any suggestions would be great!
Hi Rian,
Talk to the vet about identifying the possible cause of your Peagle’s scooting issue. While surgical removal of anal glands may prevent it from becoming inflamed, it may not resolve the issue. If your Peagle developed an inflammation of anal glands, along with an itchy bottom because of food allergies, she would still scoot unless you change her diet. Eliminate grains from her diet and do not feed a formula containing potato, oatmeal, rice, soy, wheat, or corn.
I grew up with a Peagle! She was the sweetest, most loving dog I’ve ever known. She was great with small children and tolerated a lot from my cousin with Down syndrome – she could tell that he didn’t understand things that a boy his age/size normally would. Very good escape artist when she was young, very friendly to strangers, good at hunting rabbits.
