Beagle Poodle Mix
Beagle (13 inch) + Poodle (Miniature) cross. Also called: Poogle.
The Beagle Poodle Mix typically weighs 10-25 lbs, needs 300-550 calories per day, and lives 12-15 yrs. Size, appearance, and temperament can vary widely depending on which parent's genes are more dominant.
Size and nutrition
The Beagle Poodle Mix can weigh anywhere from 10-25 lbs (4.5-11.3 kg), a wide range that reflects the size difference between the Beagle (13 inch) and Poodle (Miniature). Because mixes are unpredictable, watch your dog's actual body condition rather than targeting a specific number on the scale.
Daily calorie needs for a Poogle range from 300-550 kcal depending on their adult size, activity level, and whether they are spayed/neutered. Use our calorie calculator with your dog's actual weight for a personalized estimate.

CalculateHealth risks from both parent breeds
Mixed breed dogs can inherit health conditions from either parent breed. The Beagle Poodle Mix may be susceptible to conditions common in both Beagle (13 inch)s and Poodle (Miniature)s. Mixed breeds often benefit from hybrid vigor, but this is not guaranteed, and responsible health screening of parent dogs remains important.
Look up the health profiles for both parent breeds for a complete picture of potential health concerns:
Exercise and activity
Poogles are active, curious dogs that enjoy walks, fetch, and especially scent-based activities. The Beagle's nose combined with the Poodle's intelligence makes them excellent at nose work and tracking games. Plan for 40-50 minutes of daily exercise mixing physical activity with mental challenges.
Care and grooming
Coat varies from the Beagle's short double coat to the Poodle's curly single coat, or something in between. Curlier coats need professional grooming; shorter coats just need weekly brushing. Watch for ear infections in floppy-eared individuals.
What to expect from a Poogle
Playful, social, and intelligent. The Poodle tempers the Beagle's independence with eagerness to please, creating a more trainable hound mix. They get along well with other dogs and children. Their Beagle heritage may produce a vocal dog; early training helps manage barking.
Frequently asked questions
Adult Poogles typically weigh 10-25 lbs (4.5-11.3 kg). The wide range reflects the size difference between Beagle (13 inch)s and Poodle (Miniature)s. First-generation crosses (F1) are the most unpredictable for size. Looking at the parents' sizes gives the best estimate. Puppies that are larger at 8 weeks tend to be larger adults, but this is not guaranteed.
Daily calorie needs range from 300-550 kcal depending on your dog's actual adult size and activity level. Since mixes vary so much in size, use our calorie calculator with your dog's current weight rather than relying on breed averages. Weigh your dog monthly and adjust portions to maintain healthy body condition.
Mixed breeds often benefit from hybrid vigor, meaning their broader gene pool reduces the risk of conditions that concentrate in purebred lines. However, a Beagle Poodle Mix can still inherit health issues common to either the Beagle (13 inch) or the Poodle (Miniature). Research both parent breeds' health profiles and ask the breeder about health testing of the parents. Regular veterinary checkups catch any inherited conditions early.
