What the Heck Is A Puggle... You Ask?

You might ask what is a Puggle? I liked the way that Sarah humorously explained the origins of this hybrid breed in her article......

# Puggle:This "Designer Dog" Is All The Rage! What in theworld is a puggle? One fine day a pug was off gallivanting around whenhe came across a spirited little beagle, their eyes met and well....the rest is history! Puggles are part of a new trend of “designerdogs”- like the schnoodle and the cockabiche. They are popping up inmore places and are receiving more press, at the moment, than purebredsand are commanding prices that rival and even exceed the prices oftheir full-blooded compatriots.......

Wikipedia's description is more direct.. but their picture says it all....

A Puggle is a crossbreed between two breeds of dogs, a Pug and a Beagle.

Puggles tend to be about 20-30 pounds, and 13-15 inches at the withers.While colors vary, and there are completely black as well asmulticolored Puggles, the vast majority are fawn colored with wrinkledblack masks (similar to Pugs), but with the longer body, slightlyincreased size, and longer nose and floppy ears associated withBeagles.

Welcome Puggle Enthusists

Hello Everyone,

As an enthusiatic dog lover with many different four legged friends over the years you tend to have your favorites!

The love of my life for nine or ten years has been a very active Red Heeler (Australian Cattle Dog) called Zoe and before her a wonderful Kelpie Cross called Sparky.

As the years go on though I find I am starting to look at smaller and smaller breeds and the the one that I am starting to fall in love with is a fascinating hybrid breed called a Puggle.

Like any responsible dog lover I need to find out whether a Puggle and I suit each other!

Follow along... and feel happy to pitch in with your comments... as I find out a bit more about this new found love.
