What is a pocket beagle?

A pocket beagle is a smaller-than-standard beagle, typically weighing 4–8 kg and standing under 30 cm at the shoulder. They are not a separate breed but a size variation of the beagle.

Are pocket beagles recognised by kennel clubs?

Most major kennel clubs do not officially recognise the pocket beagle as a separate breed. The term is used informally to describe beagles smaller than the standard size.

Are pocket beagles calmer than standard beagles?

No. Pocket beagles have the same energetic, curious, vocal temperament as standard beagles. Their smaller size does not make them calmer or quieter.

How much do pocket beagles weigh?

Pocket beagles typically weigh between 4 and 8 kg. Standard beagles weigh 8–14 kg depending on whether they are the 13-inch or 15-inch variety.

Are pocket beagles good for apartment living?
