History
The Beabull is a designer breed created by crossing the Beagle and the English Bulldog. Like most designer dogs, the Beabull can exhibit various traits depending on the genetic characteristics of its parent breeds. Beabulls originated in the United States and became highly popular as designer dogs.
Temperament and Personality
They can be excellent family dogs. However, they have gained popularity over the last two decades, with many famous personalities showing a preference for them. Beabulls are people-oriented dogs and love to be in contact with humans, much like their Beagle parents. They enjoy the company of their owners and are extremely devoted to them, possessing a loving nature.
They happily follow their owners around all day and can be very affectionate towards children. They are quite tolerant, even when children become overly enthusiastic. They have a mild, well-mannered disposition and enjoy lounging around. However, they may occasionally have bursts of hyperactivity and enjoy playing games such as fetch, Frisbee, or hide and seek. They might exhibit occasional biting tendencies, but overall, they are joyful creatures.
Care
Exercise
Beabull puppies do not require a substantial amount of exercise. An hour-long walk, along with fetching games and other playtime activities during the day, will suffice. They can adapt well to apartment living, but they will be happier if taken out for activities. Trips to dog parks for various games can also be enjoyable for them. These dogs can also make great companions for long hikes. Including them in your morning walks or jogging sessions is also a good idea. While not overly active, they still need to burn off calories, so some level of exercise is necessary.
Grooming
The Beabull tends to shed at a moderate to high level. Therefore, you should be prepared for regular brushing and vacuuming. Keep in mind that they are not hypoallergenic. Bathing should be done as needed, using a dog shampoo. Due to their wrinkles, they require daily cleaning. It's important to keep them dry to prevent skin infections. Brushing their teeth two to three times a week is essential for maintaining good dental health. Regular nail clipping is necessary to prevent them from becoming too long. Additionally, their ears require consistent care and maintenance. Check them weekly for infections, and clean them using a cotton ball and a dog ear cleansing solution. A damp cloth can also be used.
Health problems
Like many other designer dogs, Beabulls are generally a healthy breed without a predisposition to hereditary diseases. However, due to their long ears, they are susceptible to ear infections. Owners should take care to cleanse their ear canals and remove dead hairs. Beabulls inherited from their Bulldog parents may be prone to various digestion problems. While they don't commonly suffer from hereditary diseases, they can inherit health issues from their parents. Some of these ailments include intervertebral disk disease, epilepsy, eye and ear infections, hip dysplasia, reverse sneezing, hypothyroidism, and patellar luxation, among others.
Training
Beabulls, like their parents, are intelligent dogs, making training a pleasurable experience. They respond well to positive reinforcement techniques involving rewards and praise. However, training might pose challenges due to occasional stubbornness. To keep training sessions engaging, make them exciting and interactive. Handle them with both firmness and gentleness.
Consistency and firmness are key, as they might attempt to outsmart you. Early training and socialization are crucial to shaping them into well-behaved dogs. Due to their sometimes challenging behavior, they may not be the best choice for first-time owners, who might benefit from professional help at obedience schools.
Feeding
Beabulls, like their Bulldog parents, tend to eat whatever is given to them. They are voracious eaters and can quickly devour any food placed in front of them. Because of their Bulldog lineage, they have an overbite and jaw structure that requires them to be fed using shallow, wider bowls for smoother eating.
The quality and quantity of their food should match that of dogs of their size and activity levels. Their tendency to overeat means you should be cautious about preventing them from consuming excessive amounts of food, as they can become obese.
