Bio:
Puggles tend to be between 15 to 30 pounds and stand 13 to 15 inches at the shoulders. While colors vary, the vast majority are fawn colored. There are also completely black as well as multicolored puggles. There are advantages for the mix breed. For instance, while pugs tend to have pushed in faces, puggles do not. This avoids respiratory problems, which are associated with pugs.
Health
Some Puggles carry more traits from a Beagle or a Pug so their appearances may vary. This is due to the decreased ability to predict which attributes will be inherited from which parent. Commonly referred to as a "designer dog", puggles have a playful temperament. Since they are classified as "lap dogs", puggles love to cuddle.
Puggles have a tail the length of a Beagle's, but it tends to be curled like a Pug's.
Because of their longer legs, eye socket size, and less effusive wrinkles, puggles often avoid many difficulties with eyes, joints, and skin wrinkles common to pugs. While pugs are particularly susceptible to heat stroke, the longer nasal cavity of the puggle makes the breed more tolerant to the heat, and less likely to overheat while running in the summer. Conversely, their nasal cavities are likely to be shorter and less efficient than those of beagles, which could be a problem if the dog also inherited the beagle's propensity to run; especially for long periods. Crossbreeds like puggles often inherit many genetic problems of their purebred parents and are rarely tested for breed specific health problems such as OFA (hip/elbow displaysia), BAER (hearing) or CERF (eyes) testing.
Maintenance
Puggles are low maintenance dogs. They need an occasional bath, nail clipping, tooth brushing, and ear cleaning. They are not hypoallergenic because neither a Beagle nor a Pug are hypoallergenic.
