Labbes, or Mini Labs. Labbes are a cross between a Labrador Retriever, and a Beagle. This results in a dog that highly resembles a little, miniature Lab! This cross has been known for a long time as excellent hunting dogs! They have the scent of a hound, but the obedience and intelligence of the Labrador. They are also very nice for the Lab lover, who simply does not have the room for a full size Lab as a house pet. These are a perfect medium size, just right as housedog's! Very cute, smart, and loving, kid friendly dogs! Mature size depends partly on the parents, but usually average around 15 to 18 inches tall, and 30 to 50 pounds. Usually, but not always, colored like Labs, in the typical Black, Chocolate, or yellow colors. White may be present, especially in the chest.
About Our Labbes and Labbe Parents
We use our male Beagle, Tine, to sire our Labbes. Tine is just under 13 inches tall, extremely cute, and he just loves people! Tine sires Chocolate & Black Labbes. We also have Herbie, a lemon & white Beagle, to sire yellow and Fox Red Labbe puppies, and possible a few Blacks & Chocolates. Our female Labs are all smaller Labs, in Chocolate & Yellow colors. All of our Labs are very gentle, people loving, very smart dogs. Each one of our Labs have been carefully chosen for health, temperament, color, and all are smaller sized. Someday, we may breed some second generation Labbes, which would make spotted, or Beagle colored Labbes also possible? These sweet girls have adorable Labbes! Click HERE to see our Labbe Puppies!
NOTE: We are expanding on our Labs, and hope to have Labbe puppies more readily available, starting in the Spring of 2008!

Therefore, we would have 2nd generation puppies that would be 1/2 Lab, 1/8 Pug, and 3/8 Beagle.
