The Brat is an unusual hybrid dog that is a mix between a Beagle and a Pomeranian.

The Brat is relatively new, with puppies only being available for the first time in 2008. The parent breeds of the Brat are quite different, with Beagles often weighing in at more than 30 lb (14 kg) and Pomeranians typically being no larger than 5 lb (2.3 kg). The idea for a “Beagle” Pomeranian mix arose when breeders at Lakeside Kennel in Oregon tried unsuccessfully to mate a Dalmatian with a standard-size Bichon Frise. The “Beagle” Pomeranian mix was not officially recognized by the American Kennel Club (AKC) until 2012, when it was given the name “Ruff”.

Brat Activity Requirements

The Dachshund is an energetic breed of dog, which originated in Germany. These small, playful dogs are quick, lively, and fearless. They make a great pet for an active family. The Dachshund has a short, stubby body that is made for short bursts of energy. They do not require a lot of exercise and should have a fenced yard to run around in. A daily walk or short play session is enough to keep a Dachshund happy. If you are looking for a new pup, be sure to consider your family’s activity levels. The Dachshund is not an ideal dog for couch potatoes. They enjoy being active and thrive on the mental and physical stimulation of regular walks.
