DOG FAQ - Do beagles only come in the black, tan and white colour?
There is actually about 17 different colour formations that a beagle can have. The most common colour and pattern is what is called the "blanket tricolour". This is where the beagle has a full black area on their back, known as the saddle, which blends into tan around their rear, shoulders and legs, with white feet, belly and chest.
Other common beagle colours found in Australia include tan and white (no black, sometimes known as a blonde); lemon and white - a light colour brown on a predominantly white body; Broken tricolour - patches of black and tan on a predominantly white body; mottles and pieds.
Every beagle, regardless of it colour, must have one mandatory colouring. Every beagle must have a white tip on their tail. The purpose of the white tip is so when they are hunting in tall grass, they will have their tail in the air and their white tip will be seen. This white tip is known as the "flag".
Colouring is very much an individual preference and makes not difference to the beagle's temperament or behaviour.
