Hi there,
My beagle is also 12" to the shoulder at 4 months old.... has yours grown much more?
Or do they just fill out a bit?
Get your self a ruler or yard stick and check
The AKC has two classifications for beagles; 13 inch and 15 inch. The 13 inch category is for beagles that are 13 inches or less at the shoulder when fully grown. The 15 inch beagle category is any size above 13 inches but not over 15 inches. As I understand it, in England the larger size can be up to 16 inches at the shoulder. Of course height classifications can be a big vague when you want to know what to expect as far as an individual dogs size. By which I mean some dogs may have a slight build and be lean while others can be built more like small tanks.
Depends on the size. From 13" at the withers they can weigh around 20lbs and from 14" to 15" they can weigh up to 30lbs. Beagles are gluttons and can tend to over eat and gain weight rapidly. Beagles have been known to exceed 30lbs which is unhealthy
They're medium dogs
Beagles are dogs that where originally used to hunt because of their great sense of smell but now they are normal house dogs and are very friendly but you have to walk them a lot because they are active and will chew and dig if they are bored
It is a common misconception that a Beagle is a Beagle is a Beagle and the fact remains there are a few different types of Beagle, including one dating back to the days of Queen Elizabeth I, known as a pocket Beagle.They typically grew to about nine inches at the shoulder with shorter legs and pointed snouts, according to paintings of this era that included pets. During the days of Henry VIII, even smaller types of Beagle, called a glove Beagle grew to about the size of a gauntlet, the metal hand covering of a suit of armor. This breed was very popular with the Royal families of the time.Today there are very few Beagles that stop growing at about 10 inches, but dogs of this size are not recognized by the American Kennel Club as a breed. This shortness of these types of Beagle is considered to be caused by poor breeding or shortened legs, or dwarfing caused by chondodystrophy.Another of the types of Beagle is called a patch Beagle, mainly due to its coloring, which began in a breeding in about 1880. Today, many people refer to a Beagle with lemon and white, or red and white coloring as patch Beagles. They were primarily bred to be extremely fast runners to be used in hunting. With a white-colored background with very large tri-color areas, these patch Beagles were known for their running skills.Colors Vary Among Same Breed AnimalsThe color combination most people think of when thinking of the different types of Beagle is black, tan and white. Typically they will also have a black saddle marking with a spotting pattern on the legs, face neck and on the tip of its tail. Blue tick, or Red tick hounds have heavy speckling of its colors, referred to as ticking, with the ticking running throughout its coat, sometimes called mottled. The American Kennel Club will accept any hound color as acceptable, which includes all shade and combinations of colors of white, or cream, black, tan, lemon, brown, blue or red. Different colors do not determine the breed or the different types of Beagle.There are two main breeds recognized today as the 13 inch, which includes Beagles up to 131 inches at the shoulder. The 15-inch breed, which are Beagles between 13 and 15 inches at the shoulder. It is rare for a Beagle to grow over 15 inches tall and no breeder can guarantee the maximum size of a Beagle puppy, but by about nine months they will have reached their adult size.
There are two recognized sizes for beagles; 13 and 15 inch measured at the shoulder.
Gender: Depending on the gender of the dog, The average female Labrador should stand at 21.5-23.5 inches tall. And a male Labrador should stand at 22.5-24.5 inches. There are two varieties of beagles. The smaller variety should stand as much as 13 inches. While the other type can stand anywhere from 13-16 inches tall, Iregarding genders.Estimate: a good estimation of 18.5-20.5 inches should be the appropriate hieght of a Beagle Lab mix.
