What is a pocket beagle?

Pocket beagles were very, very small beagle popularized back in the days of Queen Elizabeth I. measuring 9 inches at the shoulder, and Paintings of the time show these beagles to be short-legged and somewhat pointy nosed. In the days of Edward II and Henry VIII, even smaller beagles, referred to as “glove beagles” because they were small enough to to be held in a gauntlet, were much in favor with the Royal Family. However, today, while there may be a few really small 13″ variety beagles which may approach heights of around 10″, they are not a breed or variety of beagle as such, and are not recognized by either AKC or UKC. Quite often beagles of this size are often only short by virtue of shortened legs caused by cross-breeding with Dachshunds, poor breeding or the dwarfing of chondodystrophy (see the Health problems page) with it’s ensuing health problems. It must also be noted that many times it is impossible to predict mature size of a puppy, even when both parents are under 13″.

Well, a pocket beagle of course. The name is actually derived from the early horse huntsman days, when the regal little hounds used to ride shotgun in the saddle bags of their masters mounts. He is vibrant and lively, with a deeply curious expression and stamina not to be matched by a larger canine. They are tenacious when on the trail of a scent, making for a greater chance at success on the hunt. There are very specific criteria for the pedigreed pocket beagle, both in the physical and intellectual realms of the breed standard. The pocket beagle has a short, thick coat which is easily cared for. Shedding is eminent, and a short curry combing per day will help to reduce the excess deposits on your couches and carpets. They are very social dogs, and thoroughly enjoy any attentions and affections offered by their owners, so getting him to sit still for grooming should not be a very difficult goal to reach.

Olde English Pocket Beagles orginated in England in the 1800s. The breed was realized through breeding the standard beagle down in stature throughout many generations while striving to maintain a high quality hound with good confirmation. The Olde English gentlemen welcomed the smaller sized beagles as they were easy to transport in their saddle bags from one hunting location to another. Therefore arriving at the very appropriate name, Olde English Pocket Beagle.
