Shi-Beagle Activity Requirements
The Shi-Beagle is a crossbreed between a Shiba Inu and a Beagle. They are a small but sturdy dog that makes a loyal companion. They are intelligent and curious, making them easy to train. Despite their size, they have a lot of energy and require a lot of physical and mental stimulation. Shi-Beagles do best in homes where they have plenty of room for exercise and where they can maintain a healthy amount of independence. They are not a “couch potato” type of dog. They need both mental and physical stimulation in order to be happy. If you are thinking of getting a Shi-Beagle, make sure you are prepared to provide them with plenty of attention and activity. This is not a low-maintenance breed, but they are generally eager to please and do well with training.
