We do not raise Pocket Beagles or Mini Beagles (aka Olde English, teacup, toy, etc.), because we have seen so many references to genetic flaws found at higher rates in the smaller beagles. We tried it once because we didn't believe the reports, and our experience confirmed the rumors (see results below).

In our research, we also noted that some of these "tiny beagles" people are offering for sale came in colors that beagles simply do not come in. After researching, we discovered that some miniature beagle breeders are not selling purebred beagles. Instead, they have crossed beagles with smaller breeds of dogs to get smaller puppies. By doing so, they have also introduced genetic flaws into their "breed."

Our Mini / Pocket Beagle Experience

Once, we made the mistake of buying a beagle that came from a
Pocket / Miniature Beagle breeder.

True to the rumors about mini beagles and pocket beagles, he reproduced 3 genetic flaws at an unusually high rate.

Out of the 34 total puppies he fathered in the few months we bred him:

  • 15% had overbites

  • 44% had crooked, curled, kinked, or totally missing tails

  • 9% had hernias

The above puppies' were from 7 different mothers, 6 of which were not related to each other.

Out of around 100 puppies from our OTHER males that we've had in the past years at the time I write this, we had only one overbite (1%) and one hernia (1%) and NO incorrect tails. These percentages are extremely different than those from that above case with our beagle from a miniature / pocket beagle breeder.

Therefore, our tiny male is now neutered and a happy pet beagle.

We hope that the above story was an unusual case, but that one case was enough for us. We want to raise healthy puppies, so the puppy you buy from us will be healthy with your family for many years.

Therefore, we do not specialize in Pocket or Mini or Miniature Beagles or Toy or Olde English or Queen Elizabeth Pocket beagles. We occasionally have a small puppy or litter of small puppies, but it is not because we intentionally bred for pocket-sized puppies.
