A brief presentation of the Boglen Terrier

The Boglen Terrier is a hybrid mix of a Beagle and a Boston Terrier that was bred to be a pet because of the Beagle's and Boston Terrier's friendly, courageous personalities. Both breeds are friendly and loyal, making the Boglen Terrier the perfect adorable pet that is also a good watchdog. They are small dogs measuring around 35.5 centimeters in height and weighing around 13.5 kilos. The Boglen Terrier has a short coat that comes in many colors, such as brindle and white, black and white, and brown and white. This breed is intelligent and gentle, often doing its best to please its owners.

History of the Boglen Terrier

To determine the history of the Boglen Terrier, you need to look at the history of its parent breeds, the Beagle and the Boston Terrier.
        

A little of the Boston Terrier

        
Around 1870, a Bostonian imported a dog named Judge to Boston, and this is the original ancestor of Boston Terriers. Another story claims that the Boston Terrier was produced by coachmen who crossed their dogs with the dogs of their wealthy employers in 1865. It is thought that the mixture of the Bulldog and the English White Terrier were the two breeds from which the Boston Terrier originated. The Boston Terrier was accepted by the AKC in 1893 and is the 21st most popular dog breed in the United States.

A little of the Beagle

The Beagle is thought to have originated in 1475, but is not well documented, so there are many stories. The breed is thought to have originated from packs used in England before Roman times, and was a mix between English dogs and the Harrier. Some say the name Beagle means open throat, to describe the way the Beagle howls. Others say that Beagle is a Celtic or Old English name for the pups and they were indeed called pocket dogs at one time. At that time, in the 19th century, there were Beagles of various sizes, and some only measured around 23 centimetres. Hunters actually carried their dogs in their pockets when they went hunting. They arrived in the United States in 1642 and were recognized by the American Kennel Club (AKC) in 1885. They are now the 5th most popular dog breed in the United States.

Appearance of the Boglen Terrier

Boglen Terriers generally resemble Boxers, with small, muscular bodies, long legs, large square heads, slightly protruding eyes, large, floppy ears and square muzzles. Their front legs are actually much longer than their hind legs, and they have huge paws for such a small dog. The tail is long, but some owners dock their tail to make them look more like a Boston Terrier. Their coat is short and smooth, usually white with black, brown or brindle, although they have also been seen in other colors such as tan, orange and red. However, as the Boglen Terrier is a hybrid breed, appearance can vary depending on which parent breed the dog takes most after.

Temperament of the Boglen Terrier

The Boglen Terrier is also a protective pet that makes an excellent watchdog, as they are brave and alert at all times. They don't like to be alone, so if you're not at home most of the time, the Boglen Terrier may not be the best choice for you. They need to be with people and will act out if left alone. This breed gets along well with other pets as well as children.

Needs and activities of the Boglen Terrier

Because both parent breeds are known to be friendly and lovable, the Boglen Terrier is an exceptionally good family pet. In fact, they do well in large families, as they like to interact with lots of people.

Maintenance of the Boglen Terrier

The Boglen Terrier doesn't need much maintenance, thanks to its short, smooth coat. A thorough brushing with a stiff bristle brush once or twice a week is all that's needed to keep your dog's coat and skin healthy and shedding to a minimum. They tend to shed more when they're nervous, so try to keep your pet from getting stressed. Dental problems can be a problem with small dogs, so it's important to brush his teeth with a toothpaste specially designed for dogs. Their ears should be cleaned once a week and nails trimmed if necessary. Bathing is only necessary when absolutely necessary, as too many baths can deplete the skin's oils.
