History

The Cheagle is a small to medium sized hound dog, originating from the mountainous regions of Virginia and West Virginia in the United States. The breed is a cross between the Chesapeake Bay Retriever and the Beagle, and was originally bred for hunting small game such as rabbits and squirrels. The Cheagle is an intelligent and active breed, with a strong sense of smell. They are also known for being very friendly and good with children.

The Cheagle breed almost became extinct in the early 1900s due to a lack of interest in hunting small game. However, the breed regained popularity in the mid-1900s when people began to appreciate their friendly nature and trainability. The Cheagle is now recognized as a distinct breed by several kennel clubs, including the American Kennel Club.

The ancestry of the Cheagle can be traced back to two different breeds of dogs: the Chesapeake Bay Retriever and the Beagle. The Chesapeake Bay Retriever is a large working dog that was originally bred in Maryland in the United States for retrieving waterfowl such as ducks and geese. The Beagle is a small hound dog that was originally bred in England for hunting rabbits and hare. It is thought that the Cheagle was first bred in Virginia or West Virginia in the United States sometime during the 1800s.

The Cheagle was first recognized as a distinct breed by the United Kennel Club in 2006. Prior to this, they were considered to be a cross between the Chesapeake Bay Retriever and Beagle breeds. The Cheagle is now recognized by several kennel clubs around the world, including the American Kennel Club who granted full recognition to the breed in 2010.
