The Bagel Hound is a hybrid breed that emerged in the early 2000s by crossing the Beagle and Basset Hound. Both parent breeds have ancient origins—Beagles were bred for hunting small game with their exceptional sense of smell, while Basset Hounds, with their calm demeanor and powerful scenting ability, were also used for hunting.
The Bagel Hound was developed to combine the Beagle’s playful, energetic nature with the Basset Hound’s laid-back, affectionate temperament. Though relatively new, this hybrid quickly became popular for its friendly disposition, moderate energy, and suitability as a family companion.
The Moscow Water Dog was developed in the Soviet Union around the same time as other classic Soviet dogs. The Moscow Watchdog and the Black Russian Terrier are a couple of these other dogs. The Water Dog came from crossing the Caucasian Oytcharka with the Newfoundland. The breed is known by many names including the Vodolaz which means “diver of deep Water”. The Moscow Water Dog was only bred in the Russian state’s Red Star Kennels as working dogs for the military.
Following the second World War, most of the working dogs had been destroyed during the war. Not enough dogs could be imported to begin a breeding program for any working breed. So, the Soviet Red Star Kennels began to create several working breeds. Included in this group with the Moscow Water Dog, were the Moscow Newfoundland, the Moscow Great Dane, the Black Russian Terrier, and the Brudasty Hound.
The only really successful breed coming from this program is the Russian Black Terrier. All the rest are either extinct or found only in Russia today. The Moscow Water Dog was supposed to be a life saver/water rescue dog, but the dogs they developed were too aggressive, and the program was scrapped. It seemed that the cross had bred a dog that had too much of the working water dog traits and not enough of the rescue dog traits. The military breeders tried to pass the dogs off as a Russian Newfoundland and sell it to the non-military.
These non-military owners of the few “Russian Newfoundland”, did not try to change the dogs through breeding. Instead over time they bred the Russian Newfoundland with pure bred Newfoundlands almost eliminating the “Russian” portion of the breed. By the early 1980’s the stock had been so diluted with the pure Newfoundland that the Russian Newfoundland was basically extinct.
The Red Army kennel had other breeds with some of the genes of this breed in their lines. This included the Brudasty Hound, the Moscow Great Dane, the Caucasian Oycharka, the Moscow Watchdog and the Russian Black Terrier. The Russian Navy was unhappy with the situation and never again let the army developed the Navy’s waterdog.
The Bagel Hound is a medium-sized, affectionate hybrid breed resulting from the cross between the Beagle and the Basset Hound. With a sturdy, muscular body and a short, dense coat, this breed combines the best features of its parents.
Typically, a Bagel Hound has a short to medium-length coat that can come in a variety of colors, including tri-color (black, white, and tan), bi-color, or combinations of tan, white, and black. Their face is expressive with long, floppy ears and a soft, gentle gaze, a trait inherited from both parent breeds.
This breed is known for being friendly, affectionate, and playful, making it an excellent companion for families, including those with children or other pets. While generally calm, they do have a stubborn streak due to their strong scenting instincts, so consistent training is important. Despite their playful nature, they are not overly energetic and are typically content with moderate exercise, such as daily walks and playtime.
The Bagel Hound has a balanced temperament—loyal, loving, and a little mischievous—which makes them a popular choice for families and first-time dog owners who are willing to invest in training and care.

Swimming and stamina
Yes but needed some land. Better in countryside.
This is an intelligent dog, but he could not be trained out of his aggressiveness.
A common genetic condition where the hip joint doesn't fit properly, causing pain and potential arthritis. It can lead to limping or difficulty moving, especially as the dog ages.
The Bagel Hound’s long, floppy ears trap moisture and debris, making them more susceptible to infections. Regular ear cleaning and keeping ears dry can help prevent this issue.
Bagel Hounds love food, and without proper portion control and exercise, they can easily gain weight. Obesity can lead to other health problems like heart disease, joint issues, and reduced life expectancy. Regular exercise and a balanced diet are essential to keep them at a healthy weight.
Because the breed was around for such a short period there is not a lot of documentation or information regarding genetic or propensity health issues. There are however a few issues that just his heritage and Newfoundland blood would lend itself to.
Daily walks help keep them fit, while interactive play sessions like fetch offer mental and physical stimulation. Avoid overexerting them, especially in hot weather, to prevent exhaustion.
Provide a balanced diet with portion control to maintain a healthy weight. Brush their coat weekly to manage shedding, and clean their ears regularly to avoid infections.
