Does anyone know what type of breed

Beagle mix?

I am surprised the ones that said beagle mix are right he is a beagle/terrier mix we don't know what terrier but do know beagle. Most people guess he is a mini-rottweiler. I would love to get him DNA tested to find out what kind of terrier he is.

Your comment about the barking tipped me off. We adopted a Manchester Terrier for my late MIL. Pepper barked at anything that entered her field of view. Loudly. And in a very high pitch.

She was a super smart little dog, though.

He is smart loyal and he can run and run and run. He does hunt mice and has caught them before. I could never figure out what kind of terrier he was mixed with but I did find out today. He has a beagle bark. We love him he has been a great dog. We got him when the couple that had him decided since they just had a baby they could not handle the puppy they got he was 3 months old. They were going to have him put to sleep. We had just lost our dobbie so I said yes and am glad I did. He is so good with my kids and grand kids.

When I saw your picture my brain said, "That's Butch!!". 30+ years ago, we got a puppy from MIL because two year old BIL tried to drown him in the kiddy pool. Butch was 1/2 beagle + 1/2 poodle and one of the best dogs ever (also one of the most stubborn). Charmer, hunter, barker of extreme skill. He and his leopard cow dog friend, Mary, had a system. Butch would go into a brush pile on one end while Mary waited on the other end to grab the rabbit. It usually worked.

We lived in town for a while. On Saturday nights kids would walk down our street going home from the midnight show. They threw rocks at Butch and he returned the favor with a barking that lasted long after they were out of hearing range. One night, DH had enough. He ran out of the house in his whitey-tighteys, grabbed the doghouse, shook Butch out, and yelled "Shut Up, you S-O-B!"

Thanks for bringing back pleasant and funny memories of a dear pet.

Was the dog found in Kansas? In a rural area, a suburban area or the city?

Is he for sure a beagle terrier cross, or was that just a guess a vet or someone at a rescue made? Heck sometimes even the owner is guessing, LOL.

Beagle daschund cross? Because of the black and tan? I think beagle daschund crosses usually wind up very short in the leg -

Beagle cross? Without any white on it? That's odd.

26 pounds so small to medium size. Bicolor markings, probably no white on it, not particularly short legs (right? he's standing with his shoulders appearing to be even with someone's knee, even my top of my knee is 20" off the floor when I wear shoes), small hound type ears, can't see his build/depth of chest/how massive he is or isn't in this picture. I'm guessing he's rather square and trim and narrow, more like a terrier in the body.

Can you post some more pics?

I would say I believe a beagle cross, even if I hadn't read the posts. I would not fight those saying beagle poodle except that most poodles are in the much smaller sizes(12-15 lb or toys which are even smaller), and I think a cross with them would be smaller and have a little more wave to the coat.

I would say that at 10, I would expect most purebred beagles to be extremely fat, if they're not hunted. I would even expect most beagle crosses to be pretty rotund when that age. But it appears he has a very slim narrow body, so he may have a more energetic temperament and a narrower, leaner body, which says 'terrier'(OR......).

He doesn't ever howl like a beagle? Then I'm going to just make an idiotic guess and say the other half of him isn't a hound or hunting dog.

I would guess a commoner terrier than a standard Manchester, they are still very unusual everywhere, and even Toy Manchesters aren't exactly common. A toy manchester beagle cross would probably be a lot smaller than this one...or at least how tall I THINk this one is!

So. One popular terrier, at least with the horsey set and in the suburbs and rural areas, is the Jack Russell, but their legs are usually shorter and crooked and his don't appear to be. In fact he looks very straight.

The fox terrier isn't very common these days, but I would believe a beagle-smooth coated fox terrier would make something like this. If he were a cross with any of the 'low' terriers (scottie, west highland, cairn, Norwich etc) I'd expect him to be shorter on the leg, and none of those breeds are very common anyway.

One possibility I'd accept, believe it or not, is a beagle-schnauzer cross, who just happened to get more of the beagle length coat. No, the black and tan color doesn't bother me or make me consider only black and tan breeds, it can crop up easily in crosses of different colors(buuuut....a cross with a black and tan colored dog is more likely.....). Schnauzers are common in all locations and have the trim, square build I think this dog is. The only terrier breed that is remotely common/popular is the smaller size Schnauzer, it's #10 in popularity in the US. And actually, believe it or not, I think a fair number of beagle schnauzer mixes don't 'coat up'. I've seen ones with a smooth coat and ones with a wire coat. The only weird thing about that cross is - it just doesn't usually look like a blend. It tends to look like 'almost-a-beagle' or 'almost a schnauzer'.

The other heavier terriers, such as the Bull and Am Staff, I don't think would look like this crossed with a Beagle. The only other terrier breed that is possible (I crossed the Dandie and Sealyham and Skye off the list right away), is the Wheaten, and I'd think it would bring more coat or color to this cross. Some people would feel a Lakeland or similar terrier is possible, but again, I'd expect some coat.

I'd like to know how tall he is and see a better picture.

But this dog really does look a lot like a Beagle Doberman cross. Often when rehomed, people will give another breed rather than state a dog is a Doberman cross. Even that doesn't totally satisfy. I'd expect a doberman beagle cross to have more tan, and at least some white. Of course, that's just usual, not always, and the build, color, face, ears and body type with the deep chest are right.

But.....It very often results in a lighter built, longer legged, slim, narrow looking smooth coated, smaller dog of this size. Dobermans were developed in part from Terriers, and they tend to bring a similar leggier, leaner build to a cross. And they are very common.

Can you guys tell I'm sick again? Yep. This is all I can do.

He's looks like the beagle x I fostered that was found running around in the country around here, except black and tan. Teddie was about the same size too.

The vet who neutered him said he thought he was a beagle/ doxie.

He does have a beagle bark and yes he is active he is not poodle mix he will hunt mice squirrels ect. He loves to run and run and can keep running for a ways. He is not a doberman mix I had a doberman and I loved her until she died at 14 years old. We know that he is a terrier/beagle mix. We rescued him from a family that just had a baby and couldn't have a puppy and a baby even if they did get him while she was pregnant with the baby. They were going to have him put to sleep. He does have a white mark down the front of his chest just can't see it in the picture. Not short legs either he stands around 20-24 inches tall weighs about 25 lbs mmpb1 you are welcome. We love this guy and he has a forever home with us. He can't be used for hunting he hates loud noises when it thunders he is under my bed shaking. So not good around guns. But that is okay he loves his job of guarding the backyard from mice and squirrels and keeping an eye on the babies. He loves babies chicks rabbit rat anything and he is a mother hen.

Thanks for all the guesses. The pound put him down as a rottie mix after 10 years I am still fighting them on that one. Next tax year I am getting him DNA tested to find out for sure. Then I will post the results.
