Hello!
I’m looking for some information on Beagle\/French Bulldog crosses, also known as Frengles.
I’m looking to adopt (definitely not buy) a young dog or a puppy, but I’ve got no experience at all as I’ve never had a dog before... My partner, on the other hand, has always had them since he was a kid. He loves Labs and Goldens, whereas I prefer smaller dogs like Jack Russells (Parsons too, even if they’re a bit bigger) and Beagles.
What puts me off Jack Russells is that they’re very active and tend to get into a lot of mischief in general... We both love Beagles, but then a mutual friend introduced us to his puppy: a male Frengle. He’s so cute with his fawn coat and brown eyes... We thought he was absolutely adorable. My friend mentioned that his dog still gets into quite a bit of trouble, licks everyone—even strangers (including babies and kids)—and jumps up on the bed and the sofa. But he did say it’s his own fault because he wasn't firm enough with him right from the start. (He got him when he was two or three months old, and he’s nearly 6 now).
So, I’ve got a few questions:
In terms of personality and behaviour, does a Frengle take more after the Beagle or the Frenchie?
Are they generally quite active or more on the lazy side?
If they’re well-trained, do they still get into a lot of mischief?
Is it better to adopt a puppy (3 or 4 months old) or a younger dog (2 years or even older)?
Is it better to get a male or a female?
Have any of you owned or known a Frengle before?
Since my friend didn’t want me posting a photo of his dog, I’m sharing a picture of a Frengle I found online that looks just like his:
