Welcome to our guide to the Beabull dog which is a mix of two different breeds, the Beagle and the Bulldog.
Why Choose a Beabull?
Owner Mitchell Vance Toon gives a great insight into the Beabull:
We love English Bulldogs but the prices are way too high, their health is poor and they have a short life expectancy. We were looking for something that would incorporate some of the physical characteristics of an English, some of the personality, but would live longer and hopefully in better health. This brought us to the Beabull.
Some things we like.
1. She is cute!
2. She is the most cuddly dog I have ever seen.
3. She has good energy levels and is playful but when it is time to sleep it is time to sleep!
Some things we don’t like.
1. The hound in her is strong. Squirrels are her weakness and there is no calling her off the chase.
2. Need a 6′ fence to keep her in.
3. Her strong nose leads her to digging every once in a while.”
Owner Benny Lilly says: “In general it seems to be the common consensus that these are the best dogs anyone has ever had❤️
I am far from being an expert on Beabulls or any other dogs but…
– these guys all seem to be loving and loyal and very smart (but kind of in a selective stubborn way-lol!)
– they love to snuggle and cuddle and be as close as they can to their owner(s) if not actually sitting on top of their owner(s) whenever possible
– the Beagle part of them does require them to play/run/walk some to burn off boredom & energy to keep from being a little destructive at times but the Bulldog side of them tires out easily so a little action tends to go a long way (at least that’s my experience with our which is 3/4 Bulldog & 1/4 Beagle)
– the mixture does seem to minimize some of the full blooded Bulldog health issues but I do see several comments/discussions about some of them being prone to allergies (like food allergies) and several have reported issues with “cherry eye” so that seems to not be all that uncommon in the breed (I think)
– did I mention stubborn!! I know I did earlier but it’s worth repeating- lol!

Mine is so playful and happy all of the time and loves people and attention. He has to be right by us wherever we are and constantly needs to know what we’re doing all of the time but he’s well behaved and so freaking adorable – I wouldn’t have it any other way! And at the end of the day he loves to just snuggle up and be loved!

Socialization Issues
Brenda Newman wrote in to ask: “I adopted a Beabull puppy I think she was abused. It wasn’t by a breeder but this person had 2 litters. I picked one and when she got home she was throwing up had diarrhea with blood and phlegm in her cough. She was very sick. I took her to the hospital and she was cared for she’s all better now but she cowers when people are around and she sits when I try to get her to walk on her leash. She is calm and sweet and smart but terrified how can I help her?”
Brian Olssen says: “Our puppy was also like that. We have exposed him to everything and everyone as much as we can. He comes with us on most car rides and we encourage everyone we meet to pet him. He goes into stores and it has helped tremendously he’s turned into an outgoing happy dog instead of a scared skittish dog. On walks we always let him meet other dogs (we ask if they are dog friendly first) and anyone that wants to pet him can.
The more we bring him out and get him acclimatized to the world the more comfortable he is. It can be a scary place but reassuring them by continuing to go out as much as possible has really helped his confidence and let him know that everything will be okay. We also never encourage scared behavior by comforting him or petting him, he needs you to just get through it and move on, it helped a lot.”
John Wheeler: suggests: “Puppy classes by a trainer.”
Daniel Brother says: “If you have intentional litters at your home you are a breeder no matter how you try spin it. Anyway, the pup might have not have had enough socialization. So the experience from the vet might have just set her over. She will need extra support to build her confidence levels up.”
Alice Weeks: “My Beabull puppy was also like that when we got her at 8 weeks. I was told to introduce her to 100 dogs and 100 people by the time she reached 18 weeks. She is seventeen weeks old now. She loves other dogs and other people, but barks at her own reflection in the window both morning and night.”

Many Thanks
We just had a litter of beabull puppies on 7/27- by accident. Wehave a purebred beagle (dad) and an olde English bulldogge (mom) didnt know she was pregnant until about 30 days in. We were so amazed by all the interest in beabulls. What a surprise. We have 1 available puppy.
