What Is A Puggle?

Puggles are a cross between a purebred Beagle mother and a purebred Pug father or vice versa. You see more beagle mothers and pug fathers than you do pug mothers and beagle fathers. Both are correct but pug mothers tend to have more difficulty during birth due to their narrow hip structure and have issues helping their pups out of the amniotic sac because of their snub nose. Both breeds have been long recognized for their loyalty, kindness, intelligence and all around good nature. Puggles are wonderful with children, other household pets.

Many people do not realize that many Puggles are full of energy. Many really start calming down after they celebrate their first birthday, but until then some can wear you out. This is not bad if you are an active family. But if you want a dog that is going to lay on the couch all the time this is probably not the breed for you. Most Puggles do LOVE their nap times though. They can go for an hour at top speed and be asleep in less than twenty seconds.

Puggles are very intelligent and this can get them into trouble. They need to be trained and the earlier you do this the better. I always encourage puppy kindergarten classes. The puppy loves it and it gets the entire family on the same page as far as training, discipline and rewards. If you will set a firm pattern of acceptable behavior for your Puggle and follow it while he is young you will have a wonderful dog you can show off to everyone.
