The Bocker – A Beagle Cocker Spaniel Mix

This hybrid dog breed is similar to a cocker spaniel but with the enthusiasm and intelligence of the Beagle. An even temperament and friendly behavior characterize the Bocker.
If you cross a Beagle and a Cocker spaniel, their offspring will have similar traits to both parents, depending on which breed dominates in the dog.
Let’s have a look at both breeds.

Shedding

The Beagle has a low level of shedding, while the cocker spaniel sheds more. This means that the Bocker will probably shed more than the Beagle but less than a Cocker Spaniel.
Daily brushing may be necessary, depending on which breed dominates most in your Bocker, especially during the heavy shedding periods in fall and spring.

Is a Beagle Cocker Spaniel Mix good with kids?

The Beagle and the Cocker Spaniel are both gentle, playful, and patient dogs. This makes them a good companion for small children who can also learn to properly care for these fantastic dogs by following their parents’ example. The personalities of both breeds are friendly, and your dog will most likely inherit this personality from both breeds.

Are they good with cats?

The Beagle and the Cocker Spaniel each have their own independent mindsets, but they are both kind-hearted dogs. While your dog is not aggressive or playful with cats, they may occasionally try to chase them. Most of these dogs don’t like birds or squirrels.

Best training methods

Cockers respond well to reward-based training, and Beagles are very food motivated too. So as long as you find what motivates your dog – it could be treats or toys or games – then teaching him will be a lot easier and enjoyable!

One of the best things about both breeds is that they love being around humans and showing affection!

Both the Beagle and the Cocker Spaniel are high-energy dogs, so you should expect to spend a few more minutes on walks than with many other dog breeds. Keep in mind that this will vary depending on which parent dominates in the dog. You need to leave time for playtime too! Both of these energetic dogs enjoy having fun, playing fetch, or tug-of-war.

Do they bark a lot?

The Cocker Spaniel is a loud barker, and that’s one thing you don’t want from your dog when staying in a small apartment. The Beagle does tend to bark as well, but only when necessary.
Training the Beagle Cockerspaniel Mix Dog Breed
Both breeds require a gentle hand when training. However, you should be consistent and firm to make sure your dog can follow the rules in your house, especially you don’t want it to pee in front of the door or chew through the furniture!

Is This Breed Good For Me?

If you’re looking for an intelligent, loyal, playful companion, then this dog breed is perfect for you. But, on the other hand, if you live an active lifestyle and would like a partner while hiking, look no further because this dog will please.

If you’re a calm, relaxed person who lives in an apartment and doesn’t want to deal with a barking dog – then this dog is not for you. As much as they are intelligent and playful dogs, the Beagle Cockerspaniel Mix also has its personality, which won’t change for anyone!
