The chummy Cheagle is an adorable “designer dog” that is a mix of a purebred Chihuahua and a purebred Beagle. They are friendly and make good family pets. 

Here are some facts about Cheagles. With the small stature of the Chihuahua and the soulful eyes of the Beagle, this mix is one of the cutest “designer dogs” available.

• Cheagles are on the smaller side, standing roughly 12 inches tall and weighing in at about 25 pounds.
• Most Cheagles have a soft, short double-layer coat that is easy to care for.
• They come in a variety of colors like white, cream, tan and black with the occasional freckles and spots.

Behavior: 

• They are amiable with children and make a great kid-friendly pet.
• While purebred Beagles are known for tracking and hunting, Cheagles are better suited as companion dogs.
