Jack-A-Bee
Beagle / Jack Russell Terrier
Hybrid
The Jack-A-Bee is not a purebred dog. It is a cross between the
Beagle
and the Jack Russell Terrier.
The best way to determine the temperament of a mixed breed is to look up all
breeds in the cross and know you can get any combination of any of the
characteristics found in either breed. This hybrid cross is recognized by the
American Canine Hybrid Club. Not all of these designer hybrid dogs being bred are 50%
purebred to 50% purebred. It is very common for breeders to breed
multi-generation crosses.
"This is Sydney, our 5 year
old female Jack Russell / Beagle mix (Jack-A-Bee). We think she's
the best dog in the whole world. She was very easy to house-train,
and was easy to train period. Well-behaved as an adult dog, Sydney
was very "nippy" as a puppy (not advised for very small children in
puppy stage), and was ultra high energy, but calmed down greatly
after puppyhood ended — especially after we realized that she needed
a walk every day. She loves to sniff everything during her walks
(probably the beagle in her). If she misses her daily walk, you will
regret it. She'll sit on you, your newspaper, or grab whatever you
may be working on. She doesn't like to get into the water. Don't
know if this is a breed trait, or if it's just her. She's very
intelligent. We have to spell words around her. This wouldn't be the
type of dog to get if everyone leaves the house for work or school
every day. We have someone working at home most of the time. These
dogs love to be around people. Sydney is very friendly to all
people. Loves our kids. She watches for squirrels in the yard every
day, and chases them up trees, etc. I don't think she'll ever catch
one, though. She doesn't bark very much, only when the doorbell
rings or when zeroing in on a squirrel. She is very non-destructive.
Hasn't ruined anything since she was a puppy. I would suggest
crate-training this type of dog as a puppy."

"This is a photo of our new Jack-a-Bee. He's 10 weeks old in this picture. We've named him Chase, which one of us is doing any time he is awake. His mother is a Jack Russell and his father is a Beagle. He goes for a mile to a mile and a half walk every day as long as it doesn't rain. Everyone just loves him and you can see why."

"This is my dog Jasper a
Jack Russell/ Beagle cross. He is 10
½ months old
in this picture. He has been a joy to own. He is easy to train and
is a very eager learner. I have never owned a more social dog. He
loves children, other dogs (of all shapes & sizes) & cats. In fact,
he even helped raise an orphan kitten. Jasper & the kitten, Frankie,
are the best of friends. He is a great apartment dog, he's quiet & a
small size without being too small, about 22 lbs. Though when he
does bark it sounds a little Beagle-y but without the bay. He does
have quite a bit of energy but settles down nicely in the house. He
is a big cuddle bug & wants to be with you at all times. This dog
can jump!!!! I think he looks more Jack Russell, mostly because his
tail was docked. His ears are longer then a Jack Russell but not as
long as a Beagle & they are pointed at the tips. This is "a big dog
in a little dogs body".

"This is Dewey, our great little
Jack Russell / Beagle mix, according to our vet, Dr. Dave. He is four years
old, and we got him from our local
Human Society.
He's friendly to all, and loves long walks, chasing geicos and visiting his
grandmother on Cape Cod."

This is Belle, a Beagle / Jack mix (Jack-A-Bee)
at about 6 years old. She's bigger like a Beagle but has a lot of
Jack Russell markings. Her nose and ears are longer than a Jack's,
yet too short for a pure Beagle.

Jack-A-Bee puppies at 2 weeks
old - "I was a Jack-A-Bee breeder and whenever people would
contact me and inquire as to breed information I shared your site. I
have attached pictures of our first (and last) ACHC registered
litter born to our Beagle mom (Missy) and Jack Russell dad (Bolin).
Our previous litters were born to our Jack-A-Bee mom (Alley). I have
always had great reports back on house training and training in
general. It is true that you have to be ready for either end of the
personality spectrum but even by 8 weeks you can really tell a lot
about a pup’s personality. When considering a hybrid, the people who
have been in contact with the puppy for it’s first weeks of life
should have some good insight as to what side the pup is leaning
towards. I have noticed that the physical characteristics of the
puppy also seem to be an indicator of the personality type (but not
always so be careful) Either way, anyone considering a dog that has
Jack Russell in the bloodline should be prepared for usually very
active and sometimes a demanding dog (just in case). The rewards
make it all worthwhile in the long run though! Smart, playful,
loving and cute! I wouldn’t change my pups for the world."

Scout, the Jack-a-bee at 12 weeks old. (Beagle / Jack Russell Terrier
hybrid)
______________________________
"This is my Jack-a-bee,
Malcolm. We bought him for $500 at a pet store 6 years ago. He is the
product of a pure bred Beagle and a pure bred Jack Russell Terrier. He
is smart, dramatic, playful, stubborn, and so loving. He needs to have
physical contact with us at all times. When friends come over he is
quick to cuddle up to them on the couch, it doesn't matter if he just
met them. He prefers to sleep completely under the covers at night, in
between legs or behind bent knees. If he wants to be rubbed he will
dramatically scratch his nose with his paw, making pitiful sounds. If he
is mad at you, he will not look at you directly when you call his name,
but instead turn his head slightly and look at you from the corner of
his eye. If he is around dogs that are bigger than him, he will go into
another room and pout. It was hard to house-break him but easy to train
him to do a number of commands, from "sit" and "roll over" to "shut the
door" and "get the kitty" (when the kitties would escape he would catch
them and carefully pin them to the ground until we came to get them). He
is great around people, children, and other pets. He is very gentle and
cautious with babies, puppies, and kitties."

"This is my 8 month old Female
Beagle/Jack Russel Mix. She is very smart and playful. I just brought her
home 2 weeks ago and she was not housebroken or crate broken yet. She had
one accident the first night in her crate and that's it! She has not had an
accident in the house for 3 days now and has learned to let me know when she
needs to go outside. She is very stubborn, but yet listens very well for a
puppy with no training. I taught her how to sit and come within 1 day of
coming home. Also only took me 3 days to get her to stop jumping up on
people and trying to jump up while we are eating and trying to take our food
away. Very responsive to verbal praise. She loves to play with my 4 year old
male boxer. I've done research on both breeds and she is definitely the best
of both! I was surprised how fast it was to house train her with her being
so old and not being house trained or crate trained yet. She is such a joy!
I'm so happy that I had adopted her!"

"This is Jazz. She is a
Jack-A-Bee. We got her from a breeder that breeds pure Beagles and pure
Jack Russells, so she is 50-50. She is the best dog that I have ever
owned. Very energetic with a great personality. So energetic in fact
that she keeps up with me at a pace of 15 mph for 20 miles at a time. I
ran her 1600 miles last summer and she loved it. She is also a very avid
swimmer, hole digger, rabbit and small animal chaser and very loving
with our son who is almost the same age as her (1
½). I would
recommend her to anyone who has small children and is active with the
out doors."

Penny, the Jack-a-Bee (Jack
Russell Beagle Hybrid) at 6 months old. Her owner states, "She has
the best traits of a Beagle and the best traits of a Jack Russell
all mixed into one! I was told she was ¾ Beagle ¼ Jack Russell, but
I think she is more Jack Russell. She loves taking walks, swimming,
and is CRAZY about fetch. I have recently purchased a chuck it! ball
launcher and Penny absolutely loves that my throws now have more
distance! She was easy to train, is very obedient and loyal, and is
great with her younger "sister" Daisy, a Beagle."

ever owned, and gentle around small children. She's never met a person,
or dog that she hasn't liked, and she keeps our yard free from birds,
squirrels, and any other nasties which might possibly make their way in"
