Breed Information.  A small hybrid breed of dog created by mating a pug and beagle thereby producing a hound with a thick-set body, short hair, smooth coat, deeply wrinkled forehead, short legs, a curled tail, and drooping ears.  

Size.  Puggles will usually grow to be 15-20 lbs. and approximately 13-15" at the shoulder.  Their weight also depends upon their diet and exercise.

Coat.   Puggles come in a wide range of colors with a short-haired coat.  Fawn Puggles are common, but some are tan, black, white, or tri-colored.

Character.  Puggles are sweet tempered, playful, social, intelligent and affectionate.

Temperament.  This breed gets along well with children, other dogs, and other household pets.

Care.  Puggles require low maintenance.  The occasional bath, nail clipping, and ear cleaning is important.

Activity.  Puggles have a good amount of energy and love to play.  They enjoy going on walks, but they also love their downtime.  They are really good lap dogs and love to cuddle.

Training.  This hybrid is fairly easy to train.  Puggles can learn all basic commands including stay, settle, fetch, roll over, and come.  These dogs are small enough that you can even train them to use a litter box.  They are good listeners and like to please you.

Shedding.  Puggles do shed, as all dogs do. Their small size and short hair keep shedding to a minimum.

Barking.  Some will bark, but mainly if they are scared or being protective.

Howling.  Puggles do howl, on occasion. They inherit this trait from their Beagle genes.

Allergies.  A Puggle is not a hypoallergenic dog.
