Beagles come in seven different coat colors, and 18 possible color combinations, including the following: tri-color, chocolate tri, red & white, lemon & white, orange & white, white & tan,as well as brown & white. A beagle’s coat is usually ticked, or has spots when they are either black or white. Various tri-colored beagles may also have several spots in white areas. When born, the majority of them are black and white, any brown colored spots may take up to two years to completely develop.
There are six possible markings that a beagle may have. Ticks, black markings, brown markings, spots, tan markings, and white markings are all of the possibilities of a beagle’s markings on their fur. Several beagle’s may be silver, a slightly diluted black, however, this is an extremely rare color, and not recognized by the AKC. The coat color of a beagle may change from the time that they are puppies to the time that they are adults, which is often referred to as a ‘break”.
