By far the cutest dog that was at the place, but seeing this puppy and the price tag that was associated, ruined my night.
A Beabull is a mix of a beagle and a bulldog. Where some of the designer mix breed dogs were meant to capture certain traits of either breed in attemps to create a better dog, I can't quite figure this one one. Maybe they wanted a bulldog with the beagle's non-aggression or dominance issues; or maybe they wanted to create a bulldog with less underbite issues.
In general this bulldog mix is meant to have less of an underbite and fewer wrinkles. They're supposed to have similar style ears as the Beagle, but not as long. Strong muscles and jaw; strong, sleak body like a Beagle with hips like a Bulldog; bulldog feet; short coat that is soft on the sides and coarse on the back.
These dogs will shed a lot.
This mix creates an intelligent dog that takes to training well and can be easily house trained. They love to cuddle, play, fun, jump, play tug-of-war, and relax. This mix breed dog can be a bad chewer who jumps really well.
Being that the Beabull is a mix with a Beagle, they are great with kids and people. Do be leery of the Bulldog's tendency to be stubborn, dominant, and self-assured.
Health issues may include digestive problems and gas, which you may need to purchase special food for. The wrinkles can be prone to infections, which will need to be cleaned regularly. Breathing problems may occur from the Bulldog side of the mix.
In general, you may wonder what this 35-50 pound dog will cost you?
Well, Petland is selling the dog for over $2000! $60.72 a month for 36 months.
The good thing is that you can easily find a Bulldog mix breed at a shelter or local pound for a minimum adoption fee, covering shots that are up-to-date, spay/neuter, and a microchip.
I do not agree with buying mix breed dogs for a high dollar just because they have a fancy name. The dog is still a mix!
Designer Dogs aka Mixed Breed dogs are registered by a select group of kennels. There are only two that actually recognize the Beabull.IDCR = International Designer Canine Registry
DBR = Designer Breed Registry
DBR = Designer Breed Registry
If you are interested in a mix of this sort, please contact your local shelters to see if they have anything that may fit the bill. Do a search for Bulldog specific rescues. You may find just want you're looking for without the huge bill attached.
Otherwise, make sure that you find a backyard breeder who is able to answer all the questions with the right answers. Make sure that the Bulldog parent of the mix was test for hip problems. Make sure that the Bulldog parent is free and clear of any breathing problems.
You never know what you're really going to get with a mix breed dog. You could get all the great traits from either breed or all the bad traits. You may see good traits from the Beagle parent, but all the bad traits from the Bulldog parent, or vice versa.
Do you research. Contact shelters before paying hundreds or thousands for a mix bred Beabull.

Wow, that is insane that they are selling these mixed breeds for so much money! I just adopted a Beabull from a puppy mill pet rescue. The reason that these petstores sell the puppies so over priced is because they are going through brokers and buying them from puppy mills and then selling them for these ridiculous prices. If the brokers do not buy the puppies from the puppy mills, the puppies that aren't bought are just killed.. and not in a nice way. Never buy a puppy from a pet store or puppy mill, look for rescues or shelters. I got my pup from Ladybugs k9 rescue. They actually still have some Beabulls. Save a life & adopt!
ReplyDeleteI have a year old beabull. I can say that he needs a lot of attention. He wants to play a lot and complains when I don't play. So it is important to be pack leader from the beginning and be patient with consistent training because they can be stubborn but really sweet. It's always a joy to walk in the house and see his little butt hunched up and wiggling. It's also important to socialize them around children young. They tend to be very powerful and rough players and love to jump.
