Where to Get A Cheagle

Cheagles come from two already small parent breeds — Chihuahuas and Beagles — and they are good for first-time families. They can also be good for families with small children provided the children understand that they must be careful around these small, easily excitable dogs. Because they are easy to produce, you should be sure to check out their parents' history and health (if buying from a breeder) as well as make sure the puppy you acquire has all his shots, etc. Finally, be aware that these are very active dogs that need a lot of exercise even if they don't need much room, and they can easily and quickly develop separation anxiety if left alone frequently for long periods of time.

On this page, you can find out a lot more about where to find Cheagle puppies for sale, what they may cost and how to ensure you get a healthy, happy puppy — or adult, if you adopt from a shelter or rescue.

The Cheagle is a Chihuahua / Beagle mix that has become rather popular in a relatively short amount of time. It was one of the many hundreds of hybrids that was conceived in the 1990's, and this adorable mixed-breed dog is somewhat easy to find at shelters and rescues. Cheagle puppies do not cost much compared to many other "designer hybrids"; finding one at a shelter or rescue tends to cost about $50 to $100 (for shots, health certificates, etc.). If you opt to adopt a Cheagle puppy from someone who is breeding them for sale (beware of backyard breeders-- BYBs), be sure to do your research, to demand health certificates and to get proof of shots and proof of any claims that may drive up the price.

• Despite the fair amount of Cheagles available and the growing demand of them, Cheagles are usually inexpensive.
• Many dog lovers insist that if you can't get your Cheagle for free, you still shouldn't pay more than what it costs for the shots and health certificates
• If you do buy a puppy from a breeder, it may cost more if one or both parents are full AKC-registered.
• It's highly unlikely that an approved breeder with a dog-show award-winning Beagle (or even more rare, an award-winning Chihuahua) may be one of your Cheagle's parents, but if that is the case, you should expect to pay a lot more, perhaps up to $600 or higher.
