A brief presentation of the Beagleman
The Beagleman is a recently developed cross between the Beagle and the German Pinscher. It is an active, alert animal that tends to be naturally protective. They are smaller than the average German Pinscher, but their alert, vocal nature makes them an effective watchdog. They are generally a playful and affectionate member of the family, requiring plenty of exercise and attention, but little care. Although these dogs can adapt to life in an apartment, their vocal nature, high activity level and size make them more suited to life in a larger home, preferably with a yard.

History of the Beagleman
The Beagleman, also known as the DoBeagle, is a cross between the Beagle, a tracking dog, and a German Pinscher, a dog bred as a personal protection animal. The combination of these two dog breeds generally creates a medium-sized dog that is both friendly and naturally protective, with fewer health problems than either parent and minimal grooming requirements.
        

A little of the Beagle

         
The Beagle is a small tracking dog that has been a popular animal both as a rabbit-hunting companion and as a family dog for many centuries. The Beagle has been mentioned by name in writing as far back as the 15th century, although the breed has undergone some changes over the course of history. Early in the breed's development, these dogs were bred in many sizes, including a pocket-sized Beagle that didn't exceed 20.5 centimeters, and the dog that Americans called a Beagle in the 17th century bore little resemblance to the English dog. Breed standards for the Beagle were not established until the late 1800s, after the breed had stabilized. The Beagle Club of England and the National Beagle Club in the United States were also forming in the late 1800s, and the Beagle was recognized in the Hound class by the American Kennel Club in 1885.

A little of the German Pinscher
The German Pinscher is a relatively new breed, developed by Karl Friedrich Louis Dobermann. Mr. Dobermann was a dog catcher and tax collector in Germany in the 1890s, and began developing the breed as a personal protection animal to accompany him in his work. He sought to develop a medium to large-sized dog with a naturally protective instinct and reliable nature that was also intelligent, loyal and courageous.

Appearance of the Beagleman
The Beagleman hybrid is a muscular, medium-sized dog with a broad chest and long, straight legs. The head is generally broad, and although it can be slightly rounded like the Beagle head, it is more often flat and somewhat wedge-shaped. Their eyes generally come in different shades of brown and can be either the round eyes of the Beagle or the almond-shaped eyes of the German Pinscher, and their ears tend to hang to the sides, whether set high or low on the head. While the German Pinscher's ears and tail are usually docked when young, this is not the case for the Beagleman, and they retain their floppy ears and long, straight tail. The Beagleman coat will be double-layered with a short, dense undercoat protected by a shorter, stiffer layer of fur that lies flat against the dog's body, and the outer coat often has the elegant or glossy look that is characteristic of the German Pinscher. Although there are many possible color variations that could appear with this crossbreed, the vast majority of these dogs are various shades of black, brown and beige, often with white markings.

Temperament of the Beagleman
This hybrid is family-oriented and does best if fully integrated into the family, however, these dogs can have very powerful jaws and any interactions with toddlers and young children must be carefully supervised. That said, they generally tend to adopt gentle, playful and loving behaviors towards children. The Beagle and German Pinscher can be stubborn, and the German Pinscher can sometimes adopt a dominant attitude, which can make the Beagleman difficult to train, despite their intelligence.

Needs and activities of the Beagleman
Cross-breeding the Beagle and the German Pinscher generally produces an intelligent, loyal animal that is also playful and affectionate. The Beagleman is less reserved with strangers than the German Pinscher, but their overall nature is more protective than the average Beagle, and they make good watchdogs. They are outgoing and friendly towards humans and tend to get on well with other dogs, however, they still retain the Beagle's strong hunting drive and may not be able to resist the pursuit of other fast-moving pets.

Maintenance of the Beagleman
Beagles and German Pinschers are easy-care dogs when it comes to grooming. Although they can be prone to a moderate amount of normal dog odor, it's not overwhelming and these dogs generally only need a bath every few months. Their short coats are not prone to tangling or matting, but brushing is necessary every few days to help remove loose hairs and distribute healthy oils throughout the coat, improving coat health and appearance. Dogs with floppy or hanging ears may be slightly predisposed to ear infections, and it's important to check and clean their ears regularly.
