The Olde English Pocket Beagle, also known as “toy” or “mini” beagles, are the smallest variety of the pure bred beagle, generally only standing 10-12 inches at the shoulders and weighing approximately 10-20 pounds. They have a reputation of being friendly and affectionate toward their family and other animals, while also being easily adaptable to both rural and urban living. The coat is short and dense, with a variety of colors and markings that include traditional tricolor, lemon, chocolate, black & tan, black & white, and even variations of silver. They have a well defined head and muzzle, with long droopy ears that hang on the sides of the head. Their eyes are large and dark, while the tail is long and tapered. With little grooming required, this hardy breed is ideal for the animal lover who is looking for a compact and easily maintained companion.
