Puggle Info
The puggle is a relatively new, very popular cross breed. In case you hadn’t already guessed from the name, they are a planned cross between a Beagle (the bitch) and a Pug (the dog). Because puggles are so new, there is not a standard breed specification. Many puggle litters vary in size and characteristics, although the following are fairly typical:

General Appearance
A small, energetic dog with a thickset body, deep forehead wrinkles, short legs, a curled tail and droopy ears. The short, smooth coat can be fawn, tan, white and black, or a mixture. They usually have a black mask.
Size
An adult puggle weighs 14-25 lbs, and will be about 13-15 inches tall at the shoulder.
Character & Temperament
Exercise
Puggles are energetic dogs, which love to play, and enjoy walks and exercise. However, they also love relaxing in a warm lap, and cuddling with their owners.
Coat & Grooming
The short, smooth coat does moult, but not excessively. Being smaller dogs, the amount of hair shed is not significant compared with larger breeds. Puggles are fairly low-maintenance breed, requiring only an occasional bath, together with nail clipping and ear cleaning.
