Breed History

The Boglen Terrier is a relatively recent hybrid breed developed in the United States, likely within the last 20–30 years, during the rise of designer dogs. By crossing the Beagle, known for its excellent scent-tracking and friendly nature, with the Boston Terrier, beloved for its compact size and charm, breeders aimed to create a small to medium-sized companion dog with a playful personality, strong nose, and lower health risks than purebreds. While not recognized by major kennel clubs, the Boglen Terrier has gained popularity among families looking for a sociable and energetic pet.
