Basic Info

A Puggle's coloring ranges from silver, black or beige. A Puggle is a mix of a male Pug and a female Beagle. Puggles don't shed a lot, have a curly tail, and have a wrinkled forehead like a pug. They range from 14-30 pounds and are 13-15 inches tall. Puggles have a lot of energy, and need a lot of attention and need to burn a lot of their calories. Puggles were 1st bred in 2000, and Wallace Havens bred the 1st Puggle at American Canine Hybrid Club, one of the few places Puggles are recognized at. Puggles are also recognized at the Canadian Kennel Club and the Continental Kennel Club. Puggles are good family pets and good with kids and other pets. They can also howl because of traits inherited from the Beagle. They are mostly intelligent, and are easily trained, but this is a different case for pottytraining, since they are also stubborn. Puggles can easily catch colds and overheat, and have big appetites and also can overeat. They can live for 14 years or more, and need at least 20 minutes of exercise each day. They also need a bath a few times a year, and you need to brush it a few times a week, and clean their ears once a week to prevent infection. Puggles have short legs, drooping ears, and have a longer nose so they don't have breathing problems like Pugs do. They are very curious dogs, and are also not hypoallergenic. They are called hybrid dogs, and come from the US. Puggles should eat a more natural brand of dog food. Theyir tail is as long as a Beagle's tail. They can easily get heart disease, back problems, and cleft palate. Hope this information helps. Please comment!
