Bogle History
The Bogle is an English herding and hound-type gundog that originated in the counties of Northumberland and Durham in England. The ancestry of the Bogle is somewhat obscure, but it is believed to descend from the Otterhound. The Bogle is a hardy, independent, and tenacious working dog. It is a popular upland bird hunter, but has also been used for vermin control, rabbiting, and as a four-footed farm worker. It is a medium-sized, muscular, short-coated dog that was developed in the 19th century.

Bogle Temperament and Behaviour
The Bogle is a highly intelligent, independent, and dominant dog. They are extremely active and athletic, and love playing and running. Bogles can be stubborn at times, especially when they don’t want to do something, and can be difficult to train. They are calm, but are also known to become destructive when bored or lonely.
Bogle Activity Requirements
The Bogle is a friendly, fun- loving dog that loves to stay active. They are well suited to an active lifestyle and get along well with people of all ages. While they enjoy playing and going for a walk, Bogles do require a daily exercise routine. If you are not an active person, a Bogle may not be the right breed of dog for you. Because of their high-energy level, a Bogle may be too much for some people. They do well with children, but they can be aggressive toward other dogs. If you are looking for a laid-back, easy-going dog, you may want to consider a different breed.
