There’s no punch line to this question. A Beagle Boston Terrier mix is a called a Boglen, which is now officially a hybrid or “designer dog” in the American Canine Hybrid Club (ACHC) registry. Every hybrid dog must have purebred parents. When you get a Beagle-Boston Terrier mix, you will get characteristics of both purebred parents.

You’ll have to ask a breeder for photos of her Boglens to see what characteristics dominate in her Beagle-Boston Terrier mix. The Boglen’s muzzle tends to be longer than the Boston’s short muzzle. The Boglen’s ears tend to be more point upward in that perky look of a Boston. The coloring of a the Beagle-Boston Terrier mix may be like a Boston’s, so that the dogs are either black and white, brown and white, or brindle and white. Or you might get a tricolor look of the Beagle with black, tan, and white. Whichever characteristics are dominant, Boglens are great looking dogs.

If you search on the web for Boglen, you won’t find the straight-forward description of personality characteristics like you find for standard dogs. The personality of a hybrid dog can be any assortment of his parents’ traits. Some people who have a negative view of the world will say that you could get the “worst” personality traits of each dog. Any dog lover will say that is just ridiculous because dogs’ personalities can’t be described in terms of “worst.” Some dog lovers like certain personality traits more than others. The Beagle-Boston Terrier mix will have characteristics of both parents. If you like Beagles and Boston Terriers, you will like a Boglen.

Hybrid dogs are not “mutts” since their bloodlines are clear. With each parent a purebred dog, you will definitely get characteristics of those two breeds. Many people have very positive things to say about their mixed breed dogs. Some people say that the “all American mutt” has fewer health problems. You are definitely not taking a risk when you buy a Boglen.

Some people say Boglens are easier to train than Beagles. That could be true, since any one who has a Beagle will tell you that they are definitely not easy to train. Boston Terriers are well known to be very smart and trainable. If you’d like to have a Beagle-like dog who doesn’t bark so much, you may want a Boglen because the Boson Terrrier is not much of a barker. If you like happy dogs who love to play, you will definitely be happy with a Beagle-Boston Terrier mix.
