Pocket Beagle Information & Resources

If I had a dollar for every time someone asked me how big my puppies will get, I could probably buy another dog. It is the number one question we get here at Perfect Pocket Beagles, and for good reason. When you are looking for a miniature companion, you want to know exactly what to expect once they are fully grown. Let's get right to the numbers. On average, an adult Olde English Pocket Beagle will typically stand about 11 inches tall at the shoulder and weigh between 14 and

I get this question all the time. So first lets talk about weight vs height. Dogs are measured by their height at the withers (shoulder blades). An Olde English Pocket Beagle will average 11" tall, as opposed to the standard who is measured in two catagories (per the AKC), 13" and 15". If you know anything about bealges, you know they LOVE to eat. A beagle can become overweight if their diet and exercise is not monitored, but their height remains unchanged. This is why we don

The internet can be chaotic so lets just be clear, the only difference between a standard beagle and a pocket beagle is size. Remember, the Olde English Pocket Beagle is 100% beagle, just the smallest variety. AKC hasn't recognized us as the 11" variety yet, they only list the 13" and 15". This is where the Olde English Pocket Beagle Registry comes in. They ONLY recognize pockets. This is a measure to keep the intgrity of the size, so that these will not be bred with standard

Its looks like we will be having babies next month! Peggy (mom) is looking adorable with her little baby belly. She is a fantastic mother and always raises her pups with ease. She has been enjoying her daily dose of calcium via cottage cheese! This will ensure she produces nutrient dense milk, while also preventing her from becoming nutrient deficient, herself. Her official due date is May 2nd, but this will vary a few days per usual. I cannot wait to meet the newest addition

What does springtime mean for dog owners? Its time for preventative care. We use Advantage Multi topical monthly treatment. This prevents heartworms, treats for fleas, worms, earmites, and a laundry list of other things. Dont wait until you have a problem to address these issues, call your vet and make an appointment for a prescription to avoid them.

The litter we had last month are growing so fast! Already 5 weeks old. This is around the time their ears start getting long and the tan starts taking over their face. Most of them have "found their bark" and it's the cutest thing I have ever heard! A couple of them will play with me now, a few are still unsure of me, and the rest are still nervous with me. They will all come around by the time they are 8 weeks old. Mom is actively starting the weaning process, and I can blam

We have finally had a litter of sweet little Pocket Beagle puppies! It feels like it has been ages since I had newborns. Mom is still very nervous for me to see them, which is common, but she should calm down this week and let me hold them and look them over. As far as I can tell they are all traditional tricolor babies and look like they're in good shape. I will photograph and post them on the Available Puppies page when they're 10-14 days old. Everyone on my waiting list wi

Did you know that a pocket beagles coloring will usually change for the first year of their life? On a traditional tricolor beagle, their head and ears are predominately black at birth. This will turn to that classic brown color over the course of about a year. If the pup has any white on its head or ears it will stay white, although the white portions may shrink some as the brown comes in. This is true also for standard beagles, not just pockets. Here is a photo of my dog, O

Yes! They are the smallest variety of the beagle, generally standing at 11". An Olde English Pocket Beagle is 100% pure bred, not mixed with any other breeds. If you have researched pocket beagles you might have found the Queen Elizabeth Pocket Beagles, which are mixed with the dachshund. They sometimes have the dachshund coloring of dapple, and the long backs assciated with that breed. While we believe that all puppies are precious, that's not what we raise. We raise exclus

The short answer is no. Let me expand on that... The first recorded Olde English Pocket Beagles originated in England dating as far back as the 1500's, however that particular bloodline died out. Here in North America we have been successfully working to restore the breed for a few decades. AKC doesn't recognize a pocket beagle, they simply catagorize the dog as a "standard 13 inch" and under". This is the reason they have thier own registry, so that we can differentiate the
