About the Glechon
The Glechon is a hybrid dog that is made up of a combination of two different purebreeds. It's a cross between the Beagle and the Bichon Frise. We've found the best method for understanding the characteristics of the Glechon is to read both of its ancestors descriptions taking note of their temperaments, size and general look.

General Description
This breed weighs between 10-22 pounds. Their fur is wiry and most likely they will not shed. The ears are floppy like that of the Beagle and the snout is short like that of the Bichon. They come in tri-color and red and white.
Character
Glechons are feisty and thrive on attention. They enjoy other dogs and lots of people. Some may not listen when off leash and chase small prey. They have a strong sense of smell and may do some tracking. They are intelligent and may be stubborn once they put their nose to the ground. Some can be difficult to housebreak. It's important to start training and socialization from birth. They are energetic and highly excitable. They need daily exercise and stimulation.
General Health
Some may be susceptible to asthma attacks. Asthma is common in Beagles and Beagle mixes.
Maintenance
This breed is a low shedder but its ears must be clean weekly to prevent infection.
Ideal Environment
The Glechon is suited for apartment living as long as it received plenty of exercise. Most require at least one to two walks a day.
