His dogs were regularly used for tracking, hunting, guarding, watchdog and weight pulling.

The Beagador got his height genes from the Beagle. That means that he is a bit shorter than the Labrador.

The American Bulldog is characteristically loyal, brave and reliable. It is a friendly, gentle dog that truly loves children.

Early training is a must.
