Species group: Mixed Breeds

Other name(s): Raggle

The basics:
RightPet does not advocate the intentional cross-breeding of purebred dogs. But the reality is that most dogs available for adoption at shelters and rescues are mixed breeds. We think it might be helpful to hear from owners of these mixes to see what traits can be found in these dogs who are desperately needing homes.

The first generation Raggle is a cross between a pure Beagle and a pure Rat Terrier, although subsequent generations may have different proportions of the two breeds in the mix. You're getting hunting genes from both the hound and the terrier, so you need to be prepared for a highly energetic dog that loves to give chase. They may not be able to resist chasing small pets, so they are not right for families that have other small pets in the home.

Appearance / health:
All mixed-breed dogs can vary in appearance, but Raggles tend to be medium-smallish energetic dogs.

Behavior / temperament:
It's impossible to predict the exact traits inherited by a mixed-breed dog, but the Raggle is likely to be a high energy dog that wants to be at the center of family life. It would do best in a single pet home where it gets lots of kind but consistent socialization.
